Anyone else ever feel too aware? It's one of my biggest challenges. I'm so overly aware of myself in every situation it makes me insecure. Sometimes I wish I could go about life a bit more naive, with a bit more of a childlike wonder. There are benefits to being hyper aware, but it always ends up with me feeling like an alien, completely unable to form deep connections. This probably stems from hypervigilance in my childhood and I still carry it with me as an adult. I'd like to find acceptance somewhere in this awareness. I don't feel that it will ever go away, but acceptance may allow me to transform that hyperawareness into a super power. I'm not sure where to begin with acceptance, I'll continue looking into it.

I think get it. Like you can feel when someone's tone of voice shifts or how their hand placement gives off an emotion, or the way you can read the room instantly but can't let go of sensing everything around you. Not sure if it's the same feeling though.
