To those of you with sensory issues (I believe this is pretty common, right?) have you noticed them changing as you grow older? Have they gotten easier to handle, harder, or stayed the same? In fact, if you feel like “going there” and sharing - please feel free to even express what they feel like.
No need to share what they are, if you don’t feel like it. Share what you’d like.
I wouldn’t describe myself as ever having “sensory issues”, but there’s definitely things that bothered me more than most normal people. A lot of things have gotten better, but mostly just because I’ve learned to not care about a lot of things. Like loud noises used to bother me a bunch, but being in the city + concerts + playing loud music on the speakers at work has gotten me over that. Things like not liking socks that are too tight on my toes are solved by just being able to buy my own socks.
Yeah, you know what - you might be on to something. I haven’t lived in a city in a while, esp a city I like. Cause I sure af haven’t been vibing out here. So legtimately my younger days might have just been easier by being forced to assimilate. But then again, I hear that leads to health issues down the road. And guess who has those? But eh, I can’t point that crap in any one direction. All things aside I am glad you’re where you gotta be. Cause that’s real good =)
