About this listen
You can spot when someone's uncomfortable from three tables away and immediately start problem-solving. But mention that the restaurant music is literally painful? Suddenly you're "being dramatic."
Sound exhausting? Welcome to the AuDHD sensitivity paradox.
Here's what nobody tells you: What if "too sensitive" was never about you being fragile? What if everyone else was just oblivious to the rejection sensitivity dysphoria and sensory data your nervous system was accurately detecting?
In this episode:
- The real reason you got called "princess" as a kid (spoiler: it had nothing to do with being demanding)
- Why highly sensitive people often appear cranky instead of eternally sweet (plot twist: you're protecting your nervous system)
- How most AuDHDers found "HSP" first - and why that pipeline makes perfect sense
- What happens when you stop apologizing for needs that aren't built into the system
Time to stop fighting your sensitivity and start listening to the intelligence it's been offering you all along.
