Have you ever been told you’re just a “sensitive child”?
This involves emotions too but I’m specifically referring to texture sensitivity. Even one of my first therapists told me that I am what they call in psychology a “sensitive child”???
(Anything to avoid giving me an autism diagnosis I swear to god 💀)
As a kid I REALLY disliked buttons and zippers. I would PHYSICALLY GAG at the sight of buttons and zippers just made me really uncomfortable. When regarding food, to this day, I despise anything nutty and any form of nuts, which my parents found to be “an odd quirk” of mine. I’m not even allergic to them I just simply cannot stand the bland crunchy texture of nuts. I’m also very sensitive to lights, specifically streetlights, they just make me feel extreme fatigue for some reason.
What was your “sensitivity” as a child that got overlooked or deemed as something silly?
