Cause when I feel, I feel it in every inch of my bone

nervous men are often impotence of speech from very excess of perception - they realize not merely what they mean to say, but with the nervous antennae of their minds they feel the attitude of every auditor.

eating lots of gluten because I’m being tested for coeliacs

my brain feels like it’s trying to push it’s way through my skull and I’ve not felt this anxious in a long time. this week has been a big reminder that you don’t just get better. you gotta work for that shit. also gluten is evil.

I was in class tonight and we were separated into groups to break down the words "multi" and "cultural in 3 different forms: the singular (I), industrial and societal. At one point a girl in my group goes: "I think gender plays a really big role. For males and females." which I'm sure she meant in a nice way. But I responded by saying "yes, but i don't think we should link sex to gender or mention the female/male thing bc studies show now there are a LOT of people who don't identify or adhere to one specific gender. like there's trans people, and more people that talk about being caught between both gender roles so i feel like talking about their place in society when you're defining it strictly as female/male expected gender roles is a bit insinsitive, no offense."

and literally everyone looked at me like I had grown a second head.

*proud to be able to speak about important issues like this openly bc I am more aware of the issues!!!*

Previous research suggests that sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is an innate trait associated with greater sensitivity, or responsiveness, to environmental and social stimuli. According to Dr. Arthur Aron, the trait is becoming increasingly associated with identifiable behaviors, genes, physiological reactions, and patterns of brain activation. Highly sensitive people (HSP), those high in SPS, encompass roughly 20 percent of the population. Elaine Aron, PhD, originated the HSP concept. Humans characterized as HSPs tend to show heightened awareness to subtle stimuli, process information more thoroughly, and be more reactive to both positive and negative stimuli. In contrast, the majority of people have comparatively low SPS and pay less attention to subtle stimuli, approach situations more quickly and are not as emotionally reactive.

Way of Mind

"… Love the Lord with all your heart and soul and mind, … and also love your neighbor as yourself." - Matt 22:37, 39

There was a time when I felt it really hard to insult someone, even as a joke. But that's not exactly the case anymore.  I need that way of mind and sensitivity back.  "Love your neighbor as yourself."

Man

Ain't nothin worse then a over sensitive, insecure, indecisive woman. Know what the hell you want & stop worrying about the next chick & focus on yourself.
