My son was told by a friend that somebody on his basketball team found him annoying. My response was that, first of all, that was his teammates problem. Because the truth is, being annoyed is a feeling and that means it's created by what we think. We can't control what somebody else thinks, and therefore we cannot control how somebody else feels. Feedback like "you are annoying" can be tough to navigate as a neurodivergent woman. We have heard before and we have heard it a lot, but that doesn't make it true. We need to change the way we think about being "annoying" because it creates emotions like shame. Shame does not serve us, it does not help us and it will never improve us. So instead, we need to give the people in our lives back their own feelings, and instead learn how to navigate our own. Join me in today's episode where I am going to show you exactly how to do this.
