Thank you deeply for this, it's currently something I'm combating and almost beating the battle. I wasn't ready for the heightened senses, emotions and physical/emotional awareness which has been causing me paranoia/severe anxiety for the past few months. It's been a hard battle, but I'm nearly at the point of convincing myself not to care anymore. It's difficult to rewire my brain like that, especially without external help but honestly not giving a shit about what people think is so much better than having to worry 24/7 about what people are thinking about me and how I act. This whole process has definitely mentally matured me in lots of positive ways though, which is good.

This is the first post I've seen that quite accurately describes what I've been feeling, thank you for this.
