I’ve had people assume that me not wanting to be in cafeterias with everyone talking and making noise all at once was because of anxiety. It took me ages to find someone that understood why I couldn’t just go in there and be okay.

I never really understood it until recently, why the noise was such a problem for me and why people not understanding that it was a problem was also a huge problem in itself. Frustrating isn’t strong enough of a word for it.
