Speak for yourself.
I avoid unnecessary dramatics at all costs.
Well you've evidently got far better executive function than me then because I don't have full control over
how I react if I get too stressed/angry
What is a matter of choice for some people is not for others
So to castigate people who you claim to be your own kind for something we can't help isn't exactly supportive
I'm not castigating anyone. I just don't get along with them.
It's a bit like being allergic to kittens. A person may very well like kittens, but they are unable to be around them due to reasons beyond their control. Ironically, highly dramatic/emotional people set me off and cause a brain implosion; I realize it's not their fault, but my brain reacts negatively anyway.
My particular impairment is I under-react to most events in life, which isn't always preferred. I almost got DXed with Schizoid PD because of it.
