beaches are really beautiful and I like to look at them but actually going to them just triggers so many sensory issues for me. Like sand is very pretty but it’s also coarse and irritating and it gets everywhere and it gets super hot AND I hate the sensation of walking on it and I also have a bad knee which tends to randomly start acting up whenever I move around a lot for a sustained period of time especially on uneven terrain like ground with lots of tree roots and rocks or sand. Also, waves are really pretty and the ocean is beautiful I won’t debate that and although it can be very cold sometimes I can usually get used to it! Unfortunately, I despise the sound of crashing waves, especially when listening to it for prolonged periods of time. It drives me absolutely nuts after a while and I have no idea how people find it relaxing. Overall I just hate the sound of running water, rivers and waterfalls also similarly stress me out. I’m like a beaver man 😭

plus, swimsuits get SO uncomfortable when they’re wet while you’re not actively in the water, at least for me. It feels like it shrink-wraps around your skin and it’s so tight and it makes me stressed! All of this combines to make a totally miserable experience for me whenever I decide to actually go to the beach whether with friends or alone.

I think we should stop being irritated at people for wearing headphones or an airpod all the time. First of all its none of your business if someone is doing so, but it also just stigmatizes coping mechanisms and accessibility further. Just because someone has an airpod in doesn’t mean they are ignoring you or their friends/family, they could be listening to music quietly or white noise because they have sensory issues and thats what helps them. They could be using noise canceling headphones to block smaller sounds but can still hear you speaking to them. Genuinely it just isn’t your business what someone is doing but I see so many people commenting on how rude it is to do these things.

As someone with Misophonia, I often try to wear an earbud during class so I can listen to music at a volume that distracts me from triggering sounds such as pencils writing, paper rustling, coughing/throat clearing and sniffing. I’m mostly writing this so complain as I fear I may be losing this option soon and stating sensory issues probably won’t be seen as a valid reason to want music in class, but rather as an excuse to “be distracted”.

autism sucks because if i ever kill anyone i want it on the record there is a 99% chance it is because they were talking on the other side of a wall and i could hear the whisper-y quiet talking just barely
