trying so hard to communicate my sensory needs / boundaries without causing a lot of conflict. It’s hard when you’re on different levels with the people you’re surrounded with.

basically i really need some time in the morning/day (and at night too before dinner) that’s quiet. for whatever reason, i just can’t focus on putting a meal together or even eating when there’s a lot of noise.

this is hard bc our kitchen is within direct earshot of the tv, which is on a lot. i don’t mind people watching tv or a lot of tv at all. i just need some free space from sound, cuz thats one of my sensory needs

so i’m trying super hard to communicate that without offending / having the other person think i’m being a dick or too controlling.

sooo i communicate my need for sound space, asked if we could have quiet time when the episode is over, and i’m coming upstairs to my room to write this thread to get out my feelings.
