they'll just say "when a neurotypical person sees something out of the "ordinary" they have a bad feeling about it," because that doesn't explain the why I'd like to have.
Fear of the unknown. It's beyond our narrow range of experience, so we fear it.
Note: this behavior is not universal.
It also only leads to more why questions, though I suppose this fear can be explained in evolutionary terms.
Fear of the unknown is... well, I still think it's ridiculous given all of the things that remain constant, but okay.
Are there any signs that say I don't get to sing in public? No? Then bug off :I
I used to wish that everyone would have a new sort of fashion where they wore animal headdresses and lots of colorful stuff and feathers and scales just however they wanted, but somehow... less about fitting in and more about just putting as much you out there as possible. But now I almost wonder if people aren't sort of doing that already, but I'm not sensitive enough to catch up on it.
I don't think I've ever really understood the "hide most of you" mentality. There are a few things which, after leaving them exposed for years and years, I figgered I'd probably better go about hiding. But the rest of everything... who cares, anyhow?
Oh well.
Gah, random hypersensitivity. Everything hurts my skin; I was wearing blue jeans earlier, and holy fuck that was suddenly painful. It hurts to type, but I'm being an idiot and doing it anyways. Apparently the only thing I can do without pain is lick my skin, and I don't know how I figured that out. I'm hoping it's just my arm the left side of my body my entire body "falling asleep", because as painful as that is, it's the best scenario.
See if more force doesn't make you feel better. When I have that problem, I rub my hands together rather forcefully and that helps a lot. There's some other things I do, too (mostly involving other rubbing spots, like my left outer thigh), but I think those might be more me and less general.
