I use the word neurotypical as opposed to the word normal, which is a cycle on my mom's washing machine I really do hate the us VS them mentality, I think everyone has something, even those who might regard themselves as 'normal'.

I meant both positive and negative emotions as well. I have bipolar 1 and generalized anxiety but I also rate very high on empathy on the strengthsfinder test. As well as, identify myself strongly with being a Highly Sensitive Person. That has been true of me since I was a child. I'm sensitive not only emotionally but physically as well (allergy sensitivities). Any strong emotion can cause me distress, especially anger, whether I get angry or someone gets angry with me ( or in some cases if I am just exposed to it ). I will curl up in a ball and cry.
