#maybe it’s a sensory issue

[macaron-vents]

~ justifying having eaten fatty food by knowing how it makes me feel so physically disgusting I won’t be able handle living in my body anymore therefore I am more tempted to off myself <3

and yet it never happens . . .

[gougarfem]

people on here are like "i shave my entire body twice a week because of sensory issues... anyway the new 100% polyester fishnets i bought from shein are sooo cute! i think this outfit will be better when i bleach my scalp and put on some liquid foundation though" and everyone is like yeah makes sense i'll do that too

Whenever someone says "This would kill a Victorian child." Or "This would kill a medieval peasant." I have to think about Machete. Would he... would he survive eating a Dorito?

one benefit ive unexpectedly gained from lurking around nsfw tumblr is seeing how many people are really into the idea of their lovers being super handsy and touchy in public

i'm out here like "oh my sensory issues aren't that bad" and then spend a 20 minute bus ride with my face buried in my sleeve because there's a Scent on the bus

Alsoo!!

(Tic trigger warning!!)

I myself would like to be a bit more open about my own disabilities! For me, I'm neurodiverse, have chronic exhaustion and pains, and an unfortunate amount of mental illnesses, and some tasks that are difficult for me are:

Reading books:

The way books are held, cause severe discomfort in neck, shoulders, and back due to the way i must read and hold a book.

Information being processed is delayed for me, this causes me to have to reread the same pages again and again to register the information. (Often co-exists with lack of focus.)

Bad memory and dissociation makes retaining and remembering information nearly impossible.

Executive disfunction causes me to stop reading, be unable to pick the book back up—and I forget what previously happened due to bad memory. Also makes me lose motivation to read.

Words do like, this weird mixing thing in my head. Where I'll read the order of words backwards, read them as the wrong words, read letters in the wrong place like a typo, etc. And like it's annoying.

Anxiety makes 'suspense' stressful and not enjoyable, I tend to always look up the endings way before I'm done. If I don't, I get anxious /neg

Lack of focus can cause me to lose my place in the book, read without registering it (similar to my information processing issues)

aphantasia (basically I can't visualize stuff in my head) means I cannot visualize what's happening in the book, so it's just... words, which is cool i guess but not super fun

Exhausting. It's exhausting to read a lot, it's why I don't read fanfics longer than 2k words often. It takes a lot of mental energy to read.

Bad motion skills! My hands give out sometimes and I drop the book! And if I'm already exhausted/in pain, I don't wanna pick it up!

Tics! Same story, but my tics get painful, and are anxiety prone/triggered. So suspense, gives me anxiety, tics—Suddenly I can't focus on the book.

Sensory issues!! Some sounds/feelings book make, make me feel sick/make me shiver, icky!

Okay, so... I was gonna list off other disabilities I have, but... I didn't realize just how much that is by itself. I actually had to take a break writing this, because again, it takes a lot of mental energy.

It starts hurting my wrist to hold up my phone to type. I get bored, i have to fix all the typos and proof read, etc etc.

I didn't realize how much energy I put into reading. How it's not always enjoyable for me.

And yet I'm a fast reader, minus all that?

Looking at all these, I feel silly. It's a pretty basic task and yet I see it as a chore.

Itshxoxohxoipfjfpfupfjp sorry I'm being pathetic.

(Also depth perspective makes Mr hold thr book way too closely, which starts hurting my eyes. Reading too long gives me headachesss)

[fagbearentertainment]

Can’t wait for when I start T and it starts getting noticeable (facial hair deeper voice etc) so that was my fashion sense can go from looking like a kinda maybe androgynous if you squint girl to a gnc fem guy (by Bible Belt Deep South standards at least)

Like cats, these 2

[conanssummerchild]

genuine question here, why do ppl headcannon morty as autistic? like idk if its just bcs i cant relate personally to him in that way but like i just dont see it and im genuinely curious, im always open to more autistic characters lmao

[i-have-no-braincells]

i feel like a lot of people don’t understand that there’s a time and place for your opinions. anyone can have opinions, it’s part of being human, but that doesn’t mean you get to voice those opinions whenever you want. one example i can think of is people publicly voicing their opinions about certain foods. sure you might think that overly sweet coffees are gross, or plain food isn’t good (etc etc), but there are people who like those things. just because you have an opinion about something, or a preference, does not give you the right to be an asshole and make people feel bad about their own opinions and preferences.

going out of your way to point out that you don’t like something to someone who does just reads as asshole behavior. and i’m talking about instances where someone will go above and beyond to make sure that you know that they absolutely dislike and hate the thing that you mentioned liking. even in situations where you don’t necessarily know if someone you’re speaking to is a fan of something or not, i really don’t see a reason to immediately start hating on something unless you’re close to a person and know what they like and dislike.

I'm going to a convention with a group of cosplay nerds. How can I, a loser with sensory issues so hefty I can just barely tolerate a hair tie on my wrist, participate enough not to look dumb next to them?

[compressednerve]

Boiled broccoli/spinach is one of my favorite snacks but everything I've looked at says that boiling them is bad for the vegetables. I'm fine with sacrificing some of the vitamins if the overall food is still nutritious, but does boiling it really make the food basically useless? Should I just kill myself?

Headcanon based solely on that one scene from DC vs Vampires where Damian’s like “I don’t drink tea,” and Alfred’s like, “I know, so I made you hot coco instead.”

In the League of Assassins, Damian’s palate was tested as much as his battle skills or intelligence, and Ra’s primarily used different tea blends in order to do this. Given the punishments every time Damian made a mistake, Damian both prides himself on his skill in preparing & identifying basically any tea on the planet, and also hates the stuff. All of it. There’s about 80 triggers around the entire tea-process for him, and even the consistency of the slightly-thickened water makes it hard for him to choke it down. 

Fortunately, Alfred makes hot chocolate with boiled milk & melted chunks rather than hot water & powder, so Damian can still have that. (Just once, one of Damian’s siblings tried to give him instant hot coco when he stayed late at their house, and Damian immediately spat it back into the cup, called it disgusting, and proceeded to brush his teeth until his gums bled trying to get the feeling out of his mouth. They were very offended until around the 4th re-brush, when they started to realize something might actually be wrong.)
