Fucking Oof - Tumblr Posts
the problem with being creative is that you start to feel very guilty when you haven’t created anything in a while
Here’s a weird autism thing that I realized this morning—
-If a choir director tells my section to sing louder, I will do so, even if I am already at fortissimo.
-If a teacher criticizes my class for failing to take their work seriously, I will feel guilty, even if I’ve been turning every single assignment in on time.
-If a post calls people in general out for not doing a particular thing and says it’s their fault if a tragedy happens, I will feel stressed, even if I was already relentlessly doing the thing.
I need to be told separately about my personal progress, otherwise I will overcompensate and eventually end up burning myself out. As someone who puts conscious effort in trying to understand social cues, this really messes me up for some reason.
