I think m biggest challenge in life is feeling too much. I have an inability to connect when there is too many people are around. I get easily overwhelmed by the emotions of everyone in the room.
I feel it is my inability to regulate my emotions and feel the energy of everyone around me. This is sometimes called “emotional dysregulation” Because of my childhood environment I wasn’t able to manage my emotions to be able to learn manage them. Mostly because I was always in a fear state constantly. My life’s was based on protection not connection.
While I am learning to cope with feeling everything around me, I still struggle at times because of the fight or flight that overstimulates my nervous system.
