Why Are You Like This?

[Strixaluco]

I'm stressed and tired, and I can't handle the conflict between needing to work like hell and rest all day. Ask again after midsummer, might get a different result...

The wife reckons I'm on the high functioning end of the Autism Spectrum or to use the old term - an Aspie. It would explain a lot, but I still stick with being 'just weird.'

I blame and credit , Sons of Anarchy and Married with Children reruns.

I’m going to revisit this post and credit my previous comment with my inner male toxicity. The good and bad parts of that personality flaw. But I’ll own my shit , I have other flaws too.

I’ll add ptsd , childhood trauma , anxiety and a quick temper to the mix.

Another Alt or a goner …who knows or care’s actually.

Trauma. Lots of trauma.

 

[Cwtchseeker]

You would be too with a similar back story

 

[Taegul]

I blame a Catholic school upbringing.

 

[tommyt125]

Add, overexposure, the need to match energy lol

 

[Strixaluco]

Combine HSD, migraine and asthma to high sensitivity...

 

[kathyisgr65]

Im like this because of a mix of genes and life experiences...

 

[snexxer]

Upbringing, life experiences and a sprinkling of PTSD.

 

[JuicyWife]

Because I love life and I want to enjoy it to the full. With all the joys it offers.

 

[Lady_Libra_]

Because I am an overthinker

 

[Grant55]

I'm not sure.

 

[mnbreastluver]

I’ve got nothing else going on.

 

[Chillygirl]

Bad coping mechanisms

 

[MindYaBitness]

Genetics, unresolved trauma, and cake

 

[Noor]

I’m like this through genetics, environment, aspergers and experience. I also have been lucky to have the love of good parents, siblings and friends. Being a rare disease patient and a survivor also affects how I am.

3 concussions too many.. possibly 4..

 

[GallantWriter]

Seizures as a baby, definitely didn't help me before trauma, let alone after trauma.

 

[RIPAphrodite]

Well, a long time ago I was lying in bed and the door opened…Santa put his hands under my covers!

 

[Crownvic]

I listen to the voices...

 

[kieranhalcyon01]

Sarcastic and goofy parents, not much money growing up, mild head trauma at a young age, sleep deprivation

 

[Strixaluco]

Neurodivergence. Possibly some cPTSD, at least emotional scars. Being too tired to manage to regulate myself.

Catholic school push back, a stern mother and an innate “I’m doing it my way” attitude
