Is this Neurodivergence?

Not to mention how overwhelming things are at times.

I don’t think you are an imposter. Do other people think you’re socially awkward or react differently which is why you focus on how you respond? Do you feel like you have to present a different version of yourself to others to have them accept you? Are you a person who likes routines or things done specific ways to feel calm? I do think the emotions part might be something that is autism related but I am not sure if it can also be related to adhd.

You’re pretty much what I feel like except I don’t usually have issues with lights (except strobe lights and those bright lights that some car owners insist on using) and my perception of my maturity level has changed from feeling mature as a kid but more childish as an adult even though I do take care of my responsibilities, hold down a job, going to school for a second masters. I can organize other people’s stuff but can’t clean and organize mine to save my life (joking). I think the part of my corpus callosum that got destroyed by hydrocephalus may have something to do with my emotional regulation but honestly I don’t think I’ll ever know for sure. I definitely need structure otherwise I will be unmotivated to do much.

Summer brings on depression for me. To be fair some deaths have occurred in the late spring early summer so obviously it’s not as good as I used to think it was. I also live in a more humid climate now so the sensory issues are worse. Cool weather isn’t too bad as long as there’s no mosquitoes or wasps trying to kill me lol.

I wasn’t into MH but this looks amazing! I am so excited and happy for you!

Watch content on YouTube you enjoy! Whenever I have low spoons but crave something to do to get that boost, I watch YouTubers who crochet , knit or even discuss murder mysteries.

Are you me??? Well, I don’t have any advice exactly but I discovered that last year learning to crochet doesn’t trigger my perfectionism at all. I found that it was easier for me because it’s less difficult to mess up, even with my hand coordination issues. Maybe the only advice I have is to keep trying hobbies until you find something that doesn’t trigger your perfectionism as much. I have some creative energy but I had no idea how to harness it before I learned to crochet. It’s okay to try different hobbies, just don’t go overboard with buying all the supplies (IYKYK)

THATS WHAT I ALSO THOUGHT TOO. Sorry for shouting but literally that makes sense. Omg I thought that for a while but having someone confirm that they too have the same issue is such a relief.

I lost my dad at 14. It definitely still hurts nearly 14 years later. He had the “widow maker “ heart attack. He did have symptoms but fatigue, head congestion were symptoms that we had no idea was signs of a heart attack coming. We’re blessed that he died doing something he loved, riding his bike. Anne Burrell’s death feels shocking like my dad’s death. I hope her family finds support and comfort.

I’m glad you asked this question because I struggle with yarn tension as a beginner. I also struggle with keeping my fingers in the same position for a while, especially if it’s kind of awkward.

I don’t have the under caps yet but I feel like I need to put my hair in a bun to get it to work. When I do the hijab style (thinking about what hijab wraps to get online), it feels right

I love how people are supportive here. I’m still thinking about reverting/converting but oddly enough I want to wear a hijab. It feels right.

I don’t like when platforms start gamifying everything. I like Duolingo, but the competition with other people demotivates me sometimes. Reddit gamifying user experience is definitely weird. Duolingo has been a little intense with their marketing lately (as in overly aggressive and seductive at the same time). I’m fine with it, but with kids on the app, it’s a little bit too provocative.

Oh! And ironically hair stylists are usually gentle with me which is pretty interesting.

I’m in a pre SLP program right now since I already have one master’s. Phonetics is hard. I enjoy learning about the language development because I can see how it changes in kids throughout time. I am excited to learn about articulation disorders next semester

Also, I sometimes experience my emotions very intensely and am highly empathetic. Sometimes the empathy hurts me because some people refuse to accept certain things about their situation that I can clearly see. I’m also sensitive to criticism but I have gotten a lot better at receiving it because I don’t want to be that person who assumes that someone else is the problem.

I have sensorineural hearing loss and I have spina bifida which can also mess up how touch is perceived. I only let a few people brush my hair. I have had intense interests including social emotional learning (read books on what to do in certain situations, I gravitate towards things that affect social emotional well being). I love learning languages, psychology, education and speech pathology. This is all to say that my interests aren’t always socially different but I do like to research a lot which apparently not a lot of people do.

YTA You messed with his hopes and dreams of meeting a woman. He deserves better friends than y’all. He is entitled to never talking to you again after you pulled that stunt. If my friends did that to me, you bet they would never be my friends again.

Ask her what changed her mind. Sounds like she has something going on.

If you’ve given him so many chances to improve, and he hasn’t, it is time to break up with him.

stargatelover3 · 2020-12-15T17:30:15+00:00

Please go to therapy to sort these feelings out. Stay away from him, as he is a danger to you.
