Rachel McDoveLots of neurodivergent folk feel things VERY intensely. Which can be hard sometimes. But it doesn't make us lesser. It doesn't make us "drama queens." It doesn't make us wrong.
It can be overwhelming, tiring, and sometimes even embarrassing. But being shitty to ourselves about it doesn't make it easier to deal with. Accepting that we feel things super intensely can help us learn to cope when it happens!
And, sometimes feeling things super intensely can be freaking AWESOME! Not for all of us, we're not Borg, no one's experience is universal. But I wouldn't give up the enthusiasm, passion, and joy I feel so intensely just because I also feel less fun things just as strongly!
