Do you still feel, sometimes or all the time, like you are 'too much for other people to take?'
Oh my, yes. I'm very intense. I also try very hard to keep the shields up. Problem is, I think, they don't block all the types of energy that I emit...there are times when I think I get a bit too intense even for this board.
I wondered if this is one of my unique quirks as a 'super-extrovert' or part of the bigger picture of how we gifties generally walk through the world.
For me, I think it's both.
I find I'm better in purely social situations. Over the years, I've learned how to function pretty well at parties or at the park with other parents, or wherever. My intensity becomes an issue for me when I'm at work and/or when I have an idea for something.
Perhaps I should get my kids tested. If one or more of them qualifies as a DYS, we could create a breakaway group for Intense Parents at the annual picnic.
It would be interesting to see how things would go if we all felt free to be our versions of
normal. Phew.
