I just learned about sensory seeking versus sensory sensitive. I have a bit of both but more on the sensory seeking side. I hate wearing shoes, don't notice when I my clothes are disheveled, aren't too bothered by smells. But I hate loud noises. What about you?

This was something that came across my social media feeds and it's for parents who are trying to understand their kids.⁣

However, I also found it helpful for myself. ⁣

We all know we have 5 senses: sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch.⁣

⁣

Sensory seeking includes:⁣

You like to hug and touch people⁣

You've been told you don't know what personal space is⁣

You talk loudly⁣

You enjoy noise and loud environments⁣

You have a high tolerance for pain⁣

⁣

Sensory sensitive include:⁣

You don't like like to hug or touch people⁣

You avoid crowds⁣

You prefer quiet environments⁣

You don't like tight or itchy clothing⁣

⁣

Some of us tend to be sensory seeking and some of us tend to be sensory sensitive.⁣

⁣

When you know which type you are, you can create an environment that is optimal for you to function. Tag someone who can relate to this⁣
