until the last several years of my life I had no good understanding, and then what I suppose must have been my bad karma ripened and the Universe decided to teach me over and over and over again:
it is 100% possible to be an introvert who prefers quiet activities, and also be a motor-driven, always doing something Type A personality who has no concern whatsoever for stillness
I thought I would be okay living with introverts 🥲 but in practice after ending up with ones like this, nothing could be further from the truth 🥲 it is literally destroying my life while shortening my lifespan 🥲
what’s crazy is when I was in DBT I met somebody actually diagnosed with ASD who shares a lot of the same auditory sensitivities I have, but like… way worse. and with misophonia and such. the sensitivity scale goes way higher than most humans will ever understand.
