I guess the only issue that I have with it is that it sort of almost knocks you over. I would just like to not be overwhelmed by it. It doesn't cause any problems, though, really. I'll keep being aware of it.............

Hi Sannah ,
This happens to me . I get excited . like I am right now if Im making connections and it feels safe I start bouncing around in my head . Its not a manic one as in unrealistic . just energizing.
And I get happy and excited for others and have to process it later .
But sometimes I have shame around my excitement like some adults are judging me as beign imature . Not this self contained calm person which I may appear to be on the outside but inside I don't feel this way.

Auro, do you think that it has anything to do with having to explain or express yourself?

yes I do think some of my emotions are a result of my inability to express myself because of my mind getting flooded with info . So maybe I need to discern that my frustration and defensiveness is more about my inability than it is about the peron who is mispercieveing me and my need to correct or inform .
