Feeling Ashamed for Being Too Sensitive

@_Robbie_ Absolutely it's fine! This world is built for healthy (mentally and physically), neurotypical people. It doesn't inherently work for folks like us who don't fit that bill. I used to feel the same way about accommodations, I think everyone does at first because of how society is. It's not your fault that you function differently because it's just that, different. You're not lesser because you have a different set of needs and you don't need to change these inherent things about you and the way you function to fit into the mold others want you to. You shouldn't have to power through something and end up hurting or overwhelming yourself when there is an easier way. The guilt and shame you feel is internalized ableism, as I said above, and it's something you will have to work to unlearn. I'm still aflicted by it sometimes, it's a constant journey. I recommend looking into the autistic and ADHD communities and their discussions on ableism and unmasking. I also suspect I'm autistic and, even if I'm not, reading about their experiences and tips helped me immensely. You can do this, you're not alone!
