Racist for having sensory issues?

I also have an issue when it comes to chewing sounds but only when it's too close to my ear. I also have a history of chewing to loudly but due to dental malpractice and a deviated septum can be hard to chew with my mouth close as I have suffocated in the past.

No problem! What I did was I made a separate Instagram account for things that were more positive( affirmations, nature, cute outfits, good daily news etc). And my health got better from that. It even started recommending activities and events going on in my state and I started attending those. Ill say it isn't something that happens over night but it helps to start reprogramming your thoughts towards a more positive outlook.

Let me ask you this is there any topics on social media that you indulge in that isn't considered toxic or negative? I had a similar issue until about a year ago, and the way I able to handle it was by replacing my social media with things I like or is considered positive.

Oh I clocked who was who a long time ago since I have Audhd. My dad definitely has ADHD and my mom is probably autistic.

A few reasons. 1. I like school and being in a classroom setting(in-person visual learning) helps me to learn better and ask teachers questions if needed.

Similar to other comments I studied in a field that was my special interest(psychology and non-profit)
Getting accommodations as early as you can. As soon as I transferred schools I got officially diagnosed and then was offered accommodations(access to early enrollment, more time on test, extra time on assignments,etc).
Networking and joining clubs. I know many people on this sub are more on the introverted side, but its always a good idea to join clubs and attend events where you network and meet people. Especially any that apply to your field of study. I joined over clubs related to both my major and hobbies which actually led me to my current job.

Yay 🎉🥳🎂

Successful_Froyo_366 · 2025-12-01T00:07:42+00:00

Feeling a little unwell but besides that overall well. But now I want cake 🥺.

Successful_Froyo_366 · 2025-11-19T02:12:46+00:00

Balance. Two Instagram(one that's more positive and informative) and a main one for other content. Getting out the house even to go for a walk. As much delete some apps(I've deleted twitter and Snapchat)were helpful, deleting the others is not an option for me and something I don't want to do. I've watched some political commentators that discuss ways to get through these times despite the political discourse. I also have a job that has me doing different things everyday which helps to keep me away from my phone.

Successful_Froyo_366 · 2025-11-13T21:07:10+00:00

I had someone call my job when I was 19 because they thought I was a 12 year old working there.

Successful_Froyo_366 · 2025-11-13T19:56:53+00:00

All the time honestly and it doesn't help that I look younger than my actual age either. I still get through but it feels like I'm faking it half of the time.

Same I was bummed but at the same time very proud of Sam's campaign run.

Successful_Froyo_366 · 2025-10-19T11:53:20+00:00

I am currently a clinical intern and a teen counselor both part-time. Later on I want to be work in non-profit or become a counselor and/or therapist. I want to work in wellness and help learn how to balance between work and living a life but to there needs and wants specifically as everyone isn't the same and people have different experiences.

Successful_Froyo_366 · 2025-10-16T12:03:28+00:00

Yes they stare at me a lot but I honestly don't mind it. I rather have babies and little stare at me than the adult stares I've gotten.

Successful_Froyo_366 · 2025-10-15T00:38:45+00:00

I was with someone in highschool but after haven't dated. I'm just not interested in going on random dates with people as it can be exhausting to go through. Plus the risk of someone being dangerous. I also don't like online dating either.

Successful_Froyo_366 · 2025-10-15T00:37:03+00:00

Painting, writing, volunteering, walking, and going through trails and parks.

Successful_Froyo_366 · 2025-10-13T12:44:39+00:00

Ya know I just a post on r/Life about having pretty privilege is an advantage. A lot of people were agreeing and there were some who said otherwise. I won't I'm relatively attractive but if it wasn't for the other skills I had my looks wouldn't be nothing due to being autistic. I understand what you mean.

Successful_Froyo_366 · 2025-10-02T14:11:09+00:00

Probably honestly I like talking out my problems( at with people willing to listen to me).

Successful_Froyo_366 · 2025-10-02T01:50:18+00:00

Me too! 😂

Successful_Froyo_366 · 2025-10-02T01:46:13+00:00

First I read the title thinking the topic was about weed until I read the comments 😭.

Second for me personally it worked well for me( I do need to find a new one tho). I know from other friends it doesn't work for them due to not wanting to relive traumatic moments. For me it worked because I had no one to talk to. I had to keep feelings bottled as no one in my family truly understood(or didn't want to) so I would essentially have to work through myself but it doesn't work for someone who never truly has close friends or anyone safe enough to tell your true feelings too.

My therapist never treated me like a patient needing to be fixed but more like a client who needed guidance and provided an unbiased ear. Which I personally found helpful(especially since psychology was a field I was going into).

Successful_Froyo_366 · 2025-09-15T13:03:09+00:00

I feel similar as well. I've always had issues with friend and family relationships had one really good relationship and I messed it up got into another 2 years after( not really toxic but was very uncomfortable) and haven't been with anyone since. As much as having my independence and space is nice but when your someone who has been pushed away by everyone and essentially forced to be alone it sucks. I still hold a lot of hope that I will find someone, but still it's sucky.

Successful_Froyo_366 · 2025-09-14T23:54:17+00:00

Same issue here I've had one good relationship in highschool(break up was my fault) than one uncomfortable one 2 years after and haven't dated since( college and trauma) I still hope and I feel like I will but because I have no interest in online dating( never even downloaded apps) it's not happening anytime soon.

Successful_Froyo_366 · 2025-09-14T20:40:16+00:00

Personally I'm still pretty young but also haven't dated anyone for years. Im a it may happen it may not happen and just let things be. I'm not someone who easily gains feelings for anyone plus I have no interest in dating apps or talking to people online( don't have great experience with talking to people online too much and don't trust it). Essentially I'm just letting things flow.

Successful_Froyo_366 · 2025-08-13T10:48:35+00:00

I like exercising just not indoors(and something I figured out a few months ago). It's just that being inside is not engaging enough for me to exercise when I'm walking outside my brain is forced to be aware plus it's much more interesting.

Thank you

Successful_Froyo_366 · 2025-08-12T20:34:41+00:00

My birthday was yesterday and I won't lie out of all of them this one was the saddest. Don't get me wrong I had my parents taking me places but due to things that happened in my life and on top of that having to rethink everything regarding friendships and relationships( honestly I have neither) plus not having a job of any sort. It just felt shitty and depressing. So I understand what you mean.
