| What you need to remember is that your big symptoms are what first lead you to believe this, not believing it leading to your big symptoms, if that makes sense. Perhaps you might think you have a trait that you don't right now, but those meltdowns and sensory issues and whatever other problems you h... |

| Hello skibum. I am sorry that happened to you. Those kinds of things can be really hard to explain to people who don't have the same problem because it is something difficult to understand. My need for routine is not as intense as yours, but I do become very stressed out and upset about some certain... |

| Does anyone else ever feel this way? Sometimes I become incredibly bogged down with guilt for just being who I am. Quiet, introverted, a person who has never been able to fit in and has, often times, zero interest in communicating with others. I feel like it's all my fault for just being who I am th... |

| I would not call it a phobia, but I do still relate with others in avoiding speaking, hearing or even thinking about certain words because of how they make me feel. What I feel depends on which particular disliked word it is, but ways to describe it are making me embarrassed, feeling highly uncomfor... |

| How about catching the lyrics to songs? I had a lot of trouble with this as a kid, and sometimes still do. At least now I can pull up the lyrics online and read them. I had this too and still do. Others always seemed to properly hear what the lyrics were but I often wouldn't be able to -- usually f... |

| I usually hate staying the night at another person's house. There are some exceptions, but I try to avoid it and prefer staying a few hours instead. I can survive a few hours alright before I start getting drained and exhausted of the social interaction, but having to spend the night is painful. I d... |

| Yes, this happens to me sometimes. It is very difficult for me to filter out 'important' stuff when there is a lot of background noise and I often don't process or understand someone speaking to me because I'm getting overwhelmed by everything going on around me and my brain can't seem to center in ... |

| That does sound a lot like my mood, actually. Robotic is a good adjective to describe it. I?m moving, doing things, I can get out of bed, eat, and do everything I can when I?m not in that mood, but it?s as if I?m not feeling any emotions nor am I caring at all -- just running off a motor. A lot of p... |

| Hi, I am new here. I think this is the right section for this, but apologies if not. Sometimes (definitely not all the time, but often enough for me to wonder about it) I have my days or moments where I'm blank, unfeeling, and somewhat empty inside. I'm not happy, but I'm not sad. I'm not excited, b... |
