I Did A Presentation In Class Yesterday In My Anthropology, Sociology, And Psychology Class About Misophonia

I did a presentation in class yesterday in my anthropology, sociology, and psychology class about misophonia and, unsurprisingly, no one other than one other student - who also has misophonia, in my class knew anything about it.

I told them about my own experiences, and how it's very hard to diagnose or be taken seriously because of how unknown the disorder is, as it was only "discovered" in two thousand one. I also told them to, as gently and bluntly as possible, shut the fuck up and stop whispering to each other in the middle of class when you're supposed to be doing other shit because it really gets to me.

The other student who has it said that she was very glad that at least now a room of people knows some things about the disorder in a world where hardly anyone knows anything about it, and they and the teacher both thanked me for my presentation.

Everyone gave me a round of applause afterwards, and I felt both kinda freaked out (/n) since it was all directed at me, but kinda good at the same time. I'm not all that special though since everyone else also got applauded for their work, but I was the first person to present at all so I felt special in the moment.

If you don't know what misophonia is, it's where someone is less tolerant to certain person-made noises. These noises can oftentimes lead to people's fight-or-flight responses being triggered or just becoming incredibly distressed, which sucks balls since you usually have to put up with the noises and response until they finally stop. This is just a small explanation, so it's best you do your own research if you want to learn more about misophonia.

I hate it when people are all like "you're gonna want to have kids of your own one day" and mean human kids even though the last thing I'll ever want is some more crotch goblins roaming the Earth and it being my fault.

I'm gonna be a cat dad when I'm older, and these boys are just solidifying that for me.

Another Kenny drawing, but this time it's in a combination of the South Park style and my own.

I tried out a new shading style also, so hopefully it doesn't look like complete trash.

REPOST

REPOST

Forgot to repost my Skeppy and Technoblade drawing like I said I would.

It's kinda old, so I'm probably gonna remake it some day soon if I feel like it. I like my design for Skeppy a lot though.
