quick science video reminds me of what quality a good friend will have

Just watched this video about matching frequency in physics, about how if something is vibrating at the same frequency as another thing, it can excite that other thing.

Reminds me that the only people that excite (active my mind, etc) are people on a similar "mental wavelength" so to speak. It's a neat video if you are into cool science demonstrations.

I try to explain how my brain feels like it is constantly at a high vibration, but it sounds too hippy. I'm being more literal and It's overwhelming, not pleasant. I wonder if anyone can relate to that?

Relatable.That is why it's so hard to have friends when your interests, personality, ect. are so different from whatever is trending.

It sounds like it may be happening to you more often than me, but I definitely can be like that. Sometimes for months at a time. I used to know someone who told me that they used to not believe me when I told them how bad my migraines were, because she had never had one and assumed it was the same as a regular headache. Luckily, she kept that thought to her self.

Then years later she started getting migraines. That's when she told me that she didn't use to believe my description, but wanted to apologize for not believing me, even though she hadn't told me.

It took her having a migraine herself to even believe me, let alone start to understand that part of what I go through. I think a lot of people are not naturally compassionate enough to be able to fully grasp the concept that 2 people can experience the same thing but in different ways. Maybe compassionate is the wrong word, but hopefully you know what I mean.

@FayetheAspie I totally agree! I have been able to push myself a few times over the years to join an in person special interest club/group. From wood carving, to other different creative hobbies and lifestyle hobbies. Inevitably it would always "blow up" in my face with interpersonal issues. Eventually I started realizing that often the only thing I had in common with people in the group was that we all enjoyed the same hobby, and that that wasn't enough. I need to be around people who are generally automatically very understanding and empathetic to other people's feelings. That's the part of myself that I need to see in others to truly connect.

Social stimuli feels like that, to me. Although when people aren't resonating with me, I feel drained.

I used to think it was the effects of caffeine or (when I used to drink) alcohol, but it still happens to me today -- if I'm socially-stimulated, I start feeling a very strong chemical rush that's almost like I've taken some kind of drug. It feels great, but it's still puzzling how this can even be possible. I was in serious denial about it for a long time because it sounds considerably 'metaphysical', but I can replicate it on command (with certain people).

I can relate to the whole social situations as a rush idea: When I go out with people it takes a day to recoup. It's definitely an adrenaline rush, but when I look around it seems so easy and comes so naturally for others.
