They did two simulations of sensory sensitivity. I thought it was going to be bs, but when they did the park and mall videos, I laughed because I found it to be so true for me. Then, I realized that NTs live like they’re in a movie: they can focus only on what they intend to focus by tuning everything else out. Wowwwww.
Anyone feel similar or disagree? Have you seen video that you think are better representations?
I really needed to hear that someone else has had that experience. I’m learning that there are people that know to do this on purpose to build a trap. It’s quite selfish because you spent all that energy paying attention and addressing the illogicality of their statement, but when you go to respond, you are attacked for it.
When I witness it now, my plan is to just leave. I’m not dealing with that nonsense.
Yes, there are absolutely people that do that on purpose, problem is they are more or less everywhere.
At least in my experience, neurotypicals often do this without even realizing it, and then get angry with you if you attempt to talk with them about it.
And, yeah, if you run into someone who does this /intentionally/? Just run, basically.
