I cant finish cleaning my room because I can’t organize my desk because I haven’t organized my vanity because I cant organize my vanity because I haven’t organized my closet drawers because I cant organize my closet drawers until I organize my nightstand and I cant do that until I GET A NIGHTSTAND because the space between my really heavy bookshelf full of books and the space between my bed is abnormally narrow BUT TONIGHT WHILE I WAS AT ROSS I found the perfect nightstand so now I can go home and put all the stuff thats supposed to go on and under my nightstand on and under my nightstand and then I can organize the space next to my bed, then I can organize the closet drawers, then im at another impasse because I still need the proper vanity organizational materials; but we have made some achievements tonight boys
I wanna spread some love to everyone who has misophonia/misokinesia tonight
misophonia is a sensory disorder where certain sounds (things like chewing, breathing, tapping, any of those little human sounds we make all the time) cause a horrible surge of emotional distress in you. it’s not being “annoyed” or “grossed out” at a sound, it’s having an intense terrible feeling triggered inside you when you hear the noises that makes you want to scream or tear your hair out or claw out your own eardrums with your bare hands just to escape the sound. it’s terrible, and it’s awful, and there’s really no way to make it better or cure it. misokinesia is the same thing but with sights instead of sounds, like fingers moving or someone twirling their hair or even just specific markings on a piece of paper
I’m sorry if you feel like you’re a burden on your loved ones because they have no way of understanding how terrible it feels. you’re not a burden, and you’re not controlling. you’re not a bad person for not being able to eat dinner with your family. you’re not a bad person for needing to leave the room when one of your loved ones is humming to themselves. you’re not a bad person for asking someone to stop clicking their pen or bouncing their leg. you’re not a bad person for wearing noise cancelling headphones around other people. you have a really awful terrible issue and I know it sucks but people who don’t have it will never be able to understand what you’re going through and so their reaction to you comes from a place of complete misunderstanding, and it doesn’t say anything about who you are as a person. I’m sorry that they don’t understand you, and I’m sorry that you have to choose between being triggered and feeling like you’re the worst person alive for telling people about your triggers in the first place
i don't really understand why you would be pro-zoo. like i understand nature reserves and sanctuaries where people can observe from afar, but it doesn't seem right to me when they're locked up in generally small confined areas for people to watch them do nothing all day. idk maybe i'm getting this wrong, and i still really respect you, i just don't understand this. like i interned at a zoo and felt uncomfortable with how small their living areas were and how they had no stimulation
Zoos don’t look like this anymore.
They look like this:
Good zoos do not keep their animals in “tiny spaces” with no enrichment. I’m not pro-roadside zoo. I’m pro-accredited zoo. Zoos are incredibly important for conservation and education.
