My doubts are increasing

[meebs]

Here's a list of what i experience:

Visual/hearing & touch (i got used to that in karate though it still disturbs me). Can't stand noise (small noises like eating or keyboard tapping) or crowd, i still go out though.. Im hyper and can't concentrate. I have anxiety in social situations and supposed communication issues (apparently though i communicate better than i thought). Im supposedly dyslexic possibly dyspraxic. Aspergers has been suggested though i thought it was ADHD. I don't fit the criteria for Aspergers.

Now i doubt all of this is a real issue.

I've been talking with others though and shockingly it's more normal than i realised, everybody (i've talked to) feels like the way i do. It seems im the average, typical person. Maybe the way i cope with all this is the issue. I have asked others how they cope they will go do something or listen to music or hide. Maybe they don't cope just hide it well.

At the moment im seeking help on the insistence of my family. They were the ones who told me i wasn't normal. Im now discovering otherwise. Im trying not to be bitter about them and don't want them to feel bad. Edit: They do mean well.

Im gonna talk to the people helping me about stopping the sessions. If im what i feel/do/experience is utterly normal then maybe im just blowing things out of proportion after years of being told im different.

Maybe im just introverted? Perhaps we are all blowing natural/normal issues out of proportion?

Hallo Meebs,

I do not like noises, touch smells and so on. This goes with my personality type and my IQ making me a 'sensitive' gifted adult.
My dyslexia is so bad it affects my spoken communication as well as my written.

Everyone has there own oddities, it is when such things become a real hinderence in your day to day life that they become an issue that needs answers.

Being finally labeled as a sensitive gifted adult genius with severe SpLDs has been better for me than the label of 'strange weirdo'. It has opened doors.

It may be your the quite person in a family of raving extroverts and because you do not enjoy the things they do they can become concerned for your wellbeing.

Have a look for info on introverted personality types and see if anything there resonates for you.

Hmm well my Mum is somewhat extroverted, maybe my cousin is a little extro-, but the rest of us are more introverted. One of those who say i have issues is actually introverted, maybe more so than me. We are differently introverted though.
