I have always had sensory overload issues... especially auditory. My hearing checks out perfect, it's just the processing in the brain that has gone haywire. I tend not to get into conversations if a group is involved because I just become the "wallflower" because I can't handle the many voices at once.

Until I was diagnosed with MS and learned all the possible things that it could affect, I just thought I was an odd ball.
This describes me to a "T". I think the only situation I'd be comfortable in with a group of people that's more than four is a GTG with board buddies from NeuroTalk!! At least they would understand why I can't keep up with multiple conversations!! Sensory overload is so hard to try and explain to others.

Hey B2~ I kind of think that we all might have a little of that feeling from time to time. I do better if I know someone in a new group of people, whether it be a meeting of some sort or just being at a gathering. (not talking about NT GTG)

If I'm in a group of people that I don't know, I feel like a fish out of water.

We went to a party once and I knew the hostess, but she couldn't spend all her time w/us obviously, so I was really uncomfortable. DH spotted some friends from work and started talking to them. Everyone else knew each other and I felt like they were all talking about me. I don't think they were, but I had that weird out of the "group" feeling.

Oh and Kelly, I'd love to meet ya at a GTG~ I have a feeling, you'd put anyone at ease. (you too B2Y)

Well, eventually, someone had to do it.

Was that a subliminal message in the Sesame St video? W2? That's the first thing I saw, before I started singing and picking which thing didn't belong..LOL
