People respond to you with unusual reactions—either drawn in or instinctively wary. Casual interactions rarely stay casual around you, and small talk feels like a language you never quite learned.

You've been reshaping your relationship with your own intensity for most of your life. What felt overwhelming when you were younger may have become the source of your most meaningful connections.

You've probably been told you're "too much" and also that you're magnetic. Both are true. The work isn't in becoming less—it's in finding contexts where your depth is medicine rather than mirror.
