#however…… genuinely nothing sends me into overstimulation to the point of a meltdown faster than children

I wish there was a way to communicate how overstimulated kids make me and how much I really wish I could reliably be in public spaces without hearing large families/children being insanely loud without sounding like one of those freaks that thinks children should be banned from public spaces
#like kids are loud kids are noisy kids need to learn to socialize#this is all fine and logically I understand this#however…… genuinely nothing sends me into overstimulation to the point of a meltdown faster than children#(it sounds so terrible and stupidly edgy but I’m also starting to think kids are some sort of trigger for me due to my upbringing esp kids#crying because… haha reasons we won’t get into)#and like I said I am WELL aware this is all a ME problem and is in no way the fault of the children or their parents#(well sometimes the parents)#(I do think some parents need to be better about comforting screaming/crying kids and teaching kids they can’t run around and scream#whenever and wherever they want)#but like. I wish I could communicate that I genuinely do hate being around children without sounding like I have overlap with the people who#are freaks about it and think kids are uniquely terrible and that it’s all the kids fault for… yk being kids#there’s not a solution here but I wish I could at least complain without having to add fifteen caveats about how I think children are ppl#and deserve respect and caring and it’s ridiculous to act like they shouldn’t be allowed in public spaces#because they are sometimes loud and annoying#but UNFORTINATELY there’s a very large annoying and loud group of adults who have INSANE opinions about children#so ugh#anyways I’m overstimulated so I went to go hide in the bathroom for a bit#but there’s a family in here with four kids and they’re all being SO loud and shrieking and laughing#and it’s making me want to bang my head into a wall#kaz rambles
