Great film. That post social interaction internal debrief is a certified classic, I feel that in my bones. Especially followed by the confusion after having misread the situation anyway. This was excellent.

This was very well made. Every day can be such a struggle.. i just want to do what i want to do without everyone and everything around me making it so damn difficult.

I couldn't agree more

I personally like the overstimulation portion the most. I also liked the fact that she took the statement "I want to be alone" literally.

I don't understand why she didn't put her headphones on immediately when going outside, even without music

I don't personally wear headphones outside. It makes me oblivious to the world around me. (Major safety risk)
