People who live in strange worlds

Mental inflexibility: If you say

"I hate that sound (misophonia).

I hate that smell.

I hate these types of stories, these types of narratives annoys me.

Misanthropy - the general hatred, dislike, or distrust of the human species, human behaviour, or certain types of human nature."

If you are hooked to only certain types of things and refuse to even consider other ones, you have mental inflexibility. That is for ordinary people.

But did you know people who have higher awareness, can have 'super sensitivity' ? Their senses work at higher levels.

Like Hyperosmia -an increased olfactory acuity (heightened sense of smell).

They find sounds others perceive as normal uncomfortably — and often unbearably — loud. They can hear more than others.

They feel the touch more. Their skin becomes super sensitive.

They taste buds too become super sensitive. They feel the bitterness or spiciness more.

They can see 'more' than others do. Yes!

This is not fiction. Because I face all these.

I was told ''hyper senses" will be given to some people to protect themselves!

But ... if it becomes too much in social situations (this is not mental inflexibility, this is hyper-sensitivity because of higher awareness), I try to counter this by down-tuning my senses. That is why sometimes I don't notice immediately what is happening around me. I will be in a different world. So I react very slowly. Often, I don't react at all. I can't answer questions properly because they don't register in my mind!

I live in a strange world I can't even explain.

Imagine what you think is normal becomes unbearable for others!

But still you have to endure certain things to reach higher states of mind.
