As a dyslexic my self I would 💯 % describe my self like this. I’ve both been teased and praised for my heightened senses and intuition. I’ve also been diagnosed and taking medication for depression and anxiety. I’ve had a former coworker of mine , even called me psychic for accurately being aware of her thyroid cancer. But it was really because I had a baseline for what that smells/ feels like. My oldest sister is a. Thyroid cancer Survivor and my mother passed away way from bone cancer. One day while sitting next to this coworker in the break room I noticed she smelled exactly like my sister and give off that same kinda feeling that my sister gave off. So I asked my coworker if it was okay to ask her a really “ weird “ question? She obliged and so I asked, do you have cancer? She looked back at me in shock and said yes , how did you know? Are you psychic? I told her I could smell it , plus you give off a similar feeling as my sister who has thyroid cancer. So that’s what I’m basing this on. As soon as I said that she let out a little gasp, and said that’s the type of cancer I have. I realize that this anecdote is less than scientific. But it’s still an experience I’ve had . Given the context I thought it would be okay to share my personal experience with you. Thanks again Arije for another great video 😁👍 cheers!
I don’t usually comment on videos but thank you for this! As a dyslexic and someone with ADHD this hit home and I can also say that this is a superpower for me working in the health & wellness field. Things that seem obvious to me often aren’t to the other professionals I collaborate with…I guess it’s just how I’m wired🙃
Very well said I played a lot of music in my early twenties I've always felt impressed by how beautiful music sounds and especially to play lately I realize I am moved more than most people by beautiful things I hear and see and all the wonderful patterns the world is delicately woven in I started learning keyboard a little over a year ago I am so glad I did I am getting In touch with my super powers daily dyslexia and adhd
I've noticed this - things that to me are obvious totally escape many of my friends - ie: aggression, confusion, sexual orientation, blatant lies, etc.
Im not diagnosed as dyslexic, others have suggested I might be, but having just listened to some of your videos I am now absolutely convinced that I am! This is me 100%, I am super sensitive mood changes in a room that others don't register, which can be extremely stressful and cause high levels of anxiety. Just done the hole punch test and it was super easy... and on your Dyslexia Test video I scored 6/9... Very Interesting stuff
As a dyslexic would you say you are highly attuned and sensitive to the world around you? For me personally it seemed to make a lot of sense but what about you?☺
Always felt like I probably had dyslexia. Haven’t been diagnosed. But in watching all these videos it’s hitting the mail on the head for everything I struggles with as a child and into adulthood. How I view the world, see things in my mind how they come together or apart. Strong ability to psycho analyze. This video makes so much sense to me. I e actually become a clinical social worker, which this has always been a benefit of me being able to connect with those I am helping and maybe find ways to help their struggles
Great work ! I feel with Dyslexia a lot of times we suffer our own genius abilities because they are not spoken about enough and we haven't quite figured out how to master them. I love videos like this that focus on the strengths and abilities that dyslexic people have. With the right tools and guidance people with Dyslexia will prove to be a great asset to any team or society they are a part of.
This is definitely my experience. Books take me a long time to read but I can read people in seconds. I'm very attuned to social situations an understand people's complexities. I think for this reason I struggle in office settings because I'm sensitive to the stress of those around me.
I usually never leave a comment and I’ve not been diagnosed with dyslexia. I’ve always assumed I have it though. This video explains why I constantly seem to have such strong emotional reactions to otherwise mundane experiences. And also why I get completely overwhelmed at significant life events. Thank you so much for sharing your work. It helps me to understand myself a lot more, which at 58 years old, is quite a big deal for me.
I don't usually comment but your video moved me to. These findings appear put into perspective my strengths and weaknesses at work and in my personal life. Thank you Arije
You’re more than welcome and I’m glad you liked the video. There’s not that much positive information on this dyslexia out there so I thought I need to turn us into a video… :)
I'm dyslexic and yes both me and my oldest daughter who is also dyslexic are naturally very emotional and also sensitive to the point that boarders on clairvoyance and skin sensitivity as well.
I also literally feel something someone else feels sometimes when I am not around them or even know what us happening. It has happened with many people then I find out like a day later. It even happened with someone I did not know well that I was working a temporary job with. I physically felt a pop in my upper chest/ throat area one night when it happened to her at home and she mentioned it at work the next day.
@@JustWatchMeDoThis I think our dyslexic brains are wired into some kind of universal frequency that a lot of people can't since and certainly can't rationally explain.
As a dyslexic with adhd, suffering extreme depression and anxietyI have thoroughly and consistently studied and researched various causes and symptoms relating to issues of comprehension, retention, learning styles and problems with reading. From the early periods of my educational career, I have adored and appreciated learning as much of each topic. My motivation and enthusiasm and passion for learning have always led towards discovering what areas of growth and development are possible. Dyslexias effects really led to trouble and frustration and I found myself working far harder often not knowing the proper most professional ways of study. I would read several lashes from a book and retain not nearly the amount I would expectedz.
Love him for his unique potential. Albert Eisenstein. In the darkest hours of learning is the sun of something very new. Best to your son, and all sons.
yes!! That's exactly how I feel! I have always felt since I was little that I felt the world much more strongly than the people around me. that I need much less to be emotionally activated. It has the positive aspects of sensitivity and empathy for the people around me, and I can feel more joy and pleasure from the people around me. But it has disadvantages such as greater feelings of anxiety, fear, and sadness. That's why I don't read books or watch sad or scary movies, I can cry for hours after that.
interesting, yes, I do feel more but I will also hide it because in past expertience other people will react negatively to my reaction(usually because they interpret it wrong). I feel like I can even feel peoples true intentions in their sarcasm and what they call "humor". thanks for sharing!
I am 50, and after finding your UA-cam channel, I'm now just realizing that everything I thought was a strength of mine and all my frustrating weaknesses are Dyslexia. What an Ahha moment I'm having. For this video, I always thought I was an empath, but now I see my deep emotional intelligence is really also probably my dyslexic gift.
Im dyslexic, this cane up in one of my meetings with a psychologist in the late 80s (I'd have been 10). I asked her if she was ok that day, I had a feeling she had, had an argument with someone that morning. I was right as it turned out, and I told her that she wasnt acting the same as usual, she was always very well presented but had managed yo spill something on her self that morning, when she stopped talking and thought everyone was busy her smile fell and I felt she looked troubled (I didn't know id picked up on this when i asked her i looked at why I felt that way and those came up as reasons). None of the adults had picked up on this, and it would have been around lunchtime so they had had time to pick up on it too. I also found as a child I could pick up on people's emotions, normally angry people filling me with a form of dread and happy people made me feel warm. I didn't need to talk to the person I could tell just by body language. I am going to have to go and see if I have adhd as it wasnt picked up with the other testing I did for my statement at school (it may not have been a thing then, I was one of the children who in the 80s had hundreds of hours of testing done, and was put into a special school with special classes). I am ok with these insights still but if i am suffering with anxiety, or an in ability to focus, I am not anywhere near as good at these intuitions. If I can clear my mind or am not struggling with the above I am still good but not like I was as a child. Also interesting my wife likely has autism at some level, she can read peoples intentions like a book (its actually aweful because she sometimes warns me about someone I like and her accuracy for them not being honest or trying to get something out of me is 100% over 18 years). It seems I can read people's emotions and she can read their intent.
Not only am I a dyslexic but one of my two sons is as well and it has been an interesting journey following the medical institution in the developments around dyslexia. I look forward to learn more because it has enabled me to empower my son to reach a higher level of expectation in because I made sure he was not labeled as disabled but instead gifted just to find that that is the carrot he is chasing now.
Thank you! I wish someone would’ve told me this year’s ago. It’s so intense and beautifully vibrant to have this experience. I realized in recent years that I struggle to hold onto the details of a conversation but I know how a person feels about what they’re saying and I see the patterns in their behavior while they speak, that seems to help me understand where they’re coming from and why they feel the way they do. I’ve learned to turn the volume down a bit but I still get overstimulated pretty easily. Some have suggested that I may be codependent and that’s why I’m so hyper aware of other peoples feelings but the more I learn about codependency the more I think that’s not it, not to say I don’t sometimes struggle with codependency, but I truly think this is part of the dyslexia I was diagnosed with when I was young.
Wow, what a great piece of research, I have to be careful how much time I spend with anxious and depressed people as it can run off on me. Now I know why!
I wish I had found this channel years ago, I have often described myself as an extreme dyslexic, because I mix up f and h, as well as just having a backwards thought process, and I thought it ended there I had no idea how much it was effecting me in other areas of my life! This is great info keep it up!
Never diagnosed officially due to affordability/accessibility, but was still flagged for dyslexia early in life around 6 when I was admitted to a school for gifted and dyslexic children. Throughout my childhood and adolescence I was often praised by adults around me when I would offer my insight/observations about a social/emotional situation between family or friends. Around my later teens I started to become the friend in the group that people would go to talk to about their problems privately because they felt like I would truly listen to them without being judged. I'm also often easily brought to tears when viewing, listening, or even thinking about things that are emotionally stimulating. Things like a sad scene in a movie, thinking about the people I love dying, or even just lyrics to a song that I might find resonates with me. It feels like a double-edged sword. On one hand, being able to be emotionally attuned to what's happening around you feels like a super power and can be very helpful in navigating social situations. On the other hand, I feel like I'm easily overwhelmed when I'm around too many people at once, and am also very prone to bouts of depression and anxiety because of it.
Thank you for the video. I recently discovered your channel. I am a dyslexic and found out about it only when I was 24 or 25, dates are not my thing 😅 I learned how to learn and benefit from the information around since a tutor helped me. Your channel is interesting. Thank you for that. Coming back to the video, I am more emotional and sensitive than I would like to be, I empathize easily and can gauge the emotions of others.
Yes yes I'm definitely very sensitive to what's happening around me! I can get even depress in the office when I hear collesgues complaining about each other. How can I stopped feeling stress in the office?
I will be looking into it, and I added it to my list of new video ideas... But, in the main time, have a look at this video. It might help you. ua-cam.com/video/60L9hrf_zaM/v-deo.html
Hello! I recently discovered that I have all the signs of a dyslexic, and lot of that information regarding it came from your videos. So I would like to thank you for creating such videos and helping people. And yes I am very sensitive and emotional person. I am an actor, but for for several years I have been an acting coach because I could not find work as an actor.. one of the reason is that I could not memorize my line quickly.. and this fact made me feel frustrated and dipressed... But during the pandemic lockdown when I had nothing to do.. I discovered that I am a dyslexic. Again thanks a lot for educating people.
I am dyslexic and I struggle every single day to cope up with my emotions I have lots of family problems I cry every night before bed 🛏️ but I still go on with my day in the morning....🙃
So now I know why it is so easy for me to "read the room". I always thought that being an empath was a separate thing, but maybe it's just one of our gifts.
ADHD borderline and diagnosis dyslexic when I was in the second grade.. I cannot find any words that could ever describe any of my emotions considering I don't think words exist for those thank you for your video
Dyslexic can I ask you a question why do people think that people is dyslexic is don't have no understanding about their well-being I'm very smart and I get smarter every day
I can get very emotional when stressed. I was taught that crying was an manipulative behavior left over from infancy. So I have always felt very ashamed about it. But really can't control it. I never would have imagined it was relevant to dyslexia. I did just recently learned that my dyslexia is made much worse with stress. I find it very difficult to even pick a place on the page to begin attempting to read when stressed.
Did they look for across over, I'm dyslaxic but later in life I found out I am also ADHD inatentive type. But further looking becasue there is Autisum in my family. it looks as if I maybe be Austic. I know that sounds all a bit on trend but it fits very well with all the things I have struggled with in my life. There is alot of co mobidity that comes with being on the sectrump have you looked at that ? I normally edit to check my spelling when I comment but not in this post.
Arije, until I was 34 I never saw the S symbol on the superman chest emblem. I just saw to fish, one going one way, one the other. Whilst I was diagnosed dyslexic, I always had my doubts. Once I saw the S, I concluded.....that I probably was\am dyslexic. Recently learned of the link between aspergers and dyslexia....and the link to depression and suicidal thoughts....again, pretty conclusive. Now I'm 46 I've lived with all this going around in my head.....but have worked hard and been moderately successful...so it can be managed. Thankfully my mother loved me and cared for me and had the vision to understand that computers were the future and growing up in rural England she got us computers from an early age. Still at 16 I could barley read....but got there in the end and got a 1st in engineering, going on to work and have a family. Best wishes and thank you for your content. C
Can I ask you a question where does this Lexia come from like the way you putting it like will you like us separate here on being that understand more than the average person think they do like we very intelligent and smart but something's we look at different and people don't look at the way we look at it so where it come from are we from another planet or some s*** cuz I feel like that
As a dyslexic I suspect that growing up in a world were dyslexics were not recognised likely changed me. From a very early age, particularly at school, I would have to devise 'work arounds' or cover ups to prevent being seen as stupid. Often this would involve being able to sum up or assess other people very quickly. Even today I find when meeting a person for the fist time I may come away not remembering their name (that is not important to me) but having a good insight as to 'who's this person 'is'. Presumably so I can be better able to defend myself against them if I am threatened. I guess what I am saying is that, Yes, dyslexia plays a big part in how I think , but growing up with dyslexia in an unaccepting world also changed me.
This explains why I am hyper sensitive to peoples moods…having lived a traumatic childhood PTSD sexual abuse and psychological abuse …ontop of the dislexic ADD stuff . I wonder if the over-reaction ? Sweating / thermoregulation problem . ??👉is a physical or psychophysical issue for me …. As I sweat when having to fill out any kind of documents.
Well the researchers use the physical Measure of sweat on the participants fingers to get a better understanding of their emotional state. So I would assume that it would be more psychological for you. 🤷♂️ what do you think?
Where can we get tested in the United states? ??? Brain imaging? I am in Virginia, but can travel to PA. I was misdiagnosed, 20 years ago, then found out I Thank you for doing these videos. was dyslexic,... i hyperfocus, I am emotionally reading a room. I pick up on all emotional cues. I can't do multiple choice, but am excellent at writting essays. I have my masters, and it took me 3 years longer to complete my degrees.
Lol this explains a lot. Unfortunately my ASD traits kicks in when my interactions is needed, and I empathise when I can observe without need to interact or focus on acting appropriately, and when it one source of information. Might explain my duality feeling of having my emotions connected and be over the top reactive and my analytical side that have the emotions beside myself so I can observe and understand without being overwhelmed by all the emotions.
Would this include calling a wasp your pet because she showed up building a mud nest on your screen door and not being able to kill her? I eventually took the nest off and flushed it and felt horrible for her because the next 2 days she was frantically looking for it. That was a few years ago and I still feel bad for her. And dead animals on roads, OMGsh. I just can't handle it! The sadness! I even feel sad for a plant that I am throwing away the imperfect parts in favor of allowing the better parts to grow stronger. It's called thinning, but I feel terrible even though I don't believe the plant actually has feelings.
As a dyslexic with ADHD and autism, I can kind of agree with that. Emotion are way over welling in a group, but being social in groups, not going to happen. Reading emotions of a single person is easier than reading a books. A person with strong emotions, lets just say we're going to close that book.
Hey :) If you like we can meet one on one and we can work on the thing you are struggling with together. It would be easiest for me if you fill out this form. sites.google.com/view/arije-aike-de-haas/11-consultations
I am tired of going through I cannot read on my own I don't like it because I have to let people in my life and they don't even know how I feel to have a disability is hard to change but I'm very smart and Celestial I'm intelligent I'm fast learner I'm a hard worker I'm loving I'm respectful I need do not want people around me all the time
unfortunately I understand 💔🫂 . soul crushing pain as well ? Sick and tired of being tired all the time ? Surround by people talking the same rubbish day in day out ….talking all day -while saying Nothing of value ? Maybe this is just me -and the things that give me the shits . If I’m mistaken and I don’t understand anything you’re feeling . 🫂 my apologies . 👣🦘🌍🫂
I think I'm dyslexic i have experience a lot of troubles in my childhood. I think I'm highly sensitive to the world around me, i can understand people's emotions, and i soufre a lot from depression. I'm afraid to go to psychiatric and being diagnosis with a bipolar disease or something else 😣😣😣
Yep I’m dyslexic ADD 100% on the money , like 🤦🏻♀️ we needed any more fukn problems . But it’s a fact , iv lived with for 55 years . Family members have commented over the years that they never expected me to make it through childhood / teens. Been abused / Broken home and so much more besides . This study just makes it more surprising that I’m still alive. Lived with PTSD DEPRESSION CRAP from childhood . With the way society is going …I don’t expect humanity has much longer to worry about it all . Our old Mate Klause Shwab will fix it all right up . 🤦🏻♀️ . Good luck people . For a glimmer of hope check out Dr Steven Greer’s work .
I go through a lot but no see it's different when you say dyslexia a person who cannot comprehend everything at one time you can but it's going to be how your brain want to take it in you can't fight but your brain do not want to come in your body with so you got to let it just flow I didn't know that until now I'm 43 years old and I still have dyslexia I cannot read that good but I get by you know I learned I learned how to read things I have to visualize it have to be in front of me things that I saw before and then I keep everything recorded in my brain
Growing up in a abusive environment. Missing all or most of childhood developmental markers a steady diet of cruelty. The mind adapts by learning to filter out rejection not belonging socially. So unknowingly the individuals mind is developing a survival style by desensitizing emotional feelings in order to survive the environment, to ensure survival. If this Is the world a child experiences then more than likely they are going to be pretty numb to the guy on fire next to them. Possibly thinking poor Bastard glad it's not me. Like I said, if dyslexia was the only hurdle to overcome in life. It would've been a breeze. Unfortunately it was not. It was the systemic psychological abuse by the system and home environment. The person who experiences these things will pay the most. The individuals who were abused. Doesn't seem fair. But that's just the way the world is. At the age of 38, I realized I had to unlearn everything that was taught to me. It just took another 30 years to fully understand that statement. Life as a pack mule with blinders.
I guess I needed to make it more clear what I was thinking that’s what my dyslexic mind does at times is take too many shortcuts then getting lost in translation.
What is dyslexic so now you putting the name on people that have reading problems that we have very good comprehension it is people do not know how to deal with us
As a dyslexic my self I would 💯 % describe my self like this. I’ve both been teased and praised for my heightened senses and intuition.

Very cool :) apparently that is something we dyslexics have in common…
Yes! I am dyslexic & so is my dad & we are both very much mor emotional & feel things deeply
As a dyslexic my self this channel has helped me feel way more confident in myself and i learned so much more about it

Yes and my son also. Problem is what to do about it, particularly in a school environment. It's so overwhelming for him.
SO ME! Again so happy I found you. I have been so lost as a dyslexic.

This opened my eyes. I have felt this way my entire life
My 9 year old son said yes this is him and I fully agree. Thank you for these videos and information it has been so helpful to us!

I wish someone would’ve told me this year’s ago. It’s so intense and beautifully vibrant to have this experience. I realized in recent years that I struggle to hold onto the details of a conversation but I know how a person feels about what they’re saying and I see the patterns in their behavior while they speak, that seems to help me understand where they’re coming from and why they feel the way they do. I’ve learned to turn the volume down a bit but I still get overstimulated pretty easily. Some have suggested that I may be codependent and that’s why I’m so hyper aware of other peoples feelings but the more I learn about codependency the more I think that’s not it, not to say I don’t sometimes struggle with codependency, but I truly think this is part of the dyslexia I was diagnosed with when I was young.
Wow, what a great piece of research, I have to be careful how much time I spend with anxious and depressed people as it can run off on me. Now I know why!
I wish I had found this channel years ago, I have often described myself as an extreme dyslexic, because I mix up f and h, as well as just having a backwards thought process, and I thought it ended there I had no idea how much it was effecting me in other areas of my life! This is great info keep it up!
Never diagnosed officially due to affordability/accessibility, but was still flagged for dyslexia early in life around 6 when I was admitted to a school for gifted and dyslexic children. Throughout my childhood and adolescence I was often praised by adults around me when I would offer my insight/observations about a social/emotional situation between family or friends. Around my later teens I started to become the friend in the group that people would go to talk to about their problems privately because they felt like I would truly listen to them without being judged. I'm also often easily brought to tears when viewing, listening, or even thinking about things that are emotionally stimulating. Things like a sad scene in a movie, thinking about the people I love dying, or even just lyrics to a song that I might find resonates with me. It feels like a double-edged sword. On one hand, being able to be emotionally attuned to what's happening around you feels like a super power and can be very helpful in navigating social situations. On the other hand, I feel like I'm easily overwhelmed when I'm around too many people at once, and am also very prone to bouts of depression and anxiety because of it.
Thank you for the video. I recently discovered your channel. I am a dyslexic and found out about it only when I was 24 or 25, dates are not my thing 😅 I learned how to learn and benefit from the information around since a tutor helped me.
Your channel is interesting. Thank you for that.
Coming back to the video, I am more emotional and sensitive than I would like to be, I empathize easily and can gauge the emotions of others.
Yes yes I'm definitely very sensitive to what's happening around me! I can get even depress in the office when I hear collesgues complaining about each other. How can I stopped feeling stress in the office?
I will be looking into it, and I added it to my list of new video ideas... But, in the main time, have a look at this video. It might help you. ua-cam.com/video/60L9hrf_zaM/v-deo.html
Thank you!
Great study and we tend to have a higher EQ because of this!
I also can’t imagine that this would not have a positive affect on emotional intelligence…
Hello! I recently discovered that I have all the signs of a dyslexic, and lot of that information regarding it came from your videos. So I would like to thank you for creating such videos and helping people. And yes I am very sensitive and emotional person. I am an actor, but for for several years I have been an acting coach because I could not find work as an actor.. one of the reason is that I could not memorize my line quickly.. and this fact made me feel frustrated and dipressed... But during the pandemic lockdown when I had nothing to do.. I discovered that I am a dyslexic. Again thanks a lot for educating people.
Thank you for your video, a great insight. As my son is dyslexic and I'm really being I. Tune with his emotions and insights
Very informative and helpful video thank you, i was diagnosed 18 months ago and there is so much more to dyslexia than I first realised
Yes definitely I agree & I find it hard to explain what is obvious to me in situations.
💯 find this hard to cope with sometimes as I seem to feel much more than others
I am dyslexic and I struggle every single day to cope up with my emotions I have lots of family problems I cry every night before bed 🛏️ but I still go on with my day in the morning....🙃
Thank you for all of your videos about dyslexia. I just found your videos and already feel like they have helped me
So now I know why it is so easy for me to "read the room". I always thought that being an empath was a separate thing, but maybe it's just one of our gifts.
Great video as always Arije! Can definitely relate to this in more ways then one!
YES YES YES and pair it with ADHD and RSD = perfect storm!
I can imagine that. I’m not entirely sure but I think that there is a similar effect for people with ADHD.
@@ArijeAikedeHaas Yes it is and it's really hard to deal with on a daily basis.
Yes, I would agree. I am more sensitive to others' emotions.
ADHD borderline and diagnosis dyslexic when I was in the second grade.. I cannot find any words that could ever describe any of my emotions considering I don't think words exist for those thank you for your video
Thank you for sharing this information 😊
Glad it was helpful!
100% I would agree with this video!
I definitely can related to being highly sensitive to the emotions of people around me and can easily feel down.
I'm tired of going through being dyslexia it changed my life
Dyslexic can I ask you a question why do people think that people is dyslexic is don't have no understanding about their well-being I'm very smart and I get smarter every day
Thank you very much! I wonder if those with ADHD are equally reactive.
I would assume they are even though I haven’t seen a study on it yet.
I can get very emotional when stressed. I was taught that crying was an manipulative behavior left over from infancy. So I have always felt very ashamed about it. But really can't control it. I never would have imagined it was relevant to dyslexia. I did just recently learned that my dyslexia is made much worse with stress. I find it very difficult to even pick a place on the page to begin attempting to read when stressed.
Did they look for across over, I'm dyslaxic but later in life I found out I am also ADHD inatentive type. But further looking becasue there is Autisum in my family. it looks as if I maybe be Austic. I know that sounds all a bit on trend but it fits very well with all the things I have struggled with in my life. There is alot of co mobidity that comes with being on the sectrump have you looked at that ?
I normally edit to check my spelling when I comment but not in this post.
In my decades of soul searching - iv seen many observations of crossovers with theses topics .
Arije, until I was 34 I never saw the S symbol on the superman chest emblem. I just saw to fish, one going one way, one the other. Whilst I was diagnosed dyslexic, I always had my doubts. Once I saw the S, I concluded.....that I probably was\am dyslexic. Recently learned of the link between aspergers and dyslexia....and the link to depression and suicidal thoughts....again, pretty conclusive. Now I'm 46 I've lived with all this going around in my head.....but have worked hard and been moderately successful...so it can be managed. Thankfully my mother loved me and cared for me and had the vision to understand that computers were the future and growing up in rural England she got us computers from an early age. Still at 16 I could barley read....but got there in the end and got a 1st in engineering, going on to work and have a family. Best wishes and thank you for your content. C
I absolutely relate. I'm curious as to how dyslexics test on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, particularly how many show up as INFJs like me.
This made me cry!
Can I ask you a question where does this Lexia come from like the way you putting it like will you like us separate here on being that understand more than the average person think they do like we very intelligent and smart but something's we look at different and people don't look at the way we look at it so where it come from are we from another planet or some s*** cuz I feel like that
Yes!
As a dyslexic I suspect that growing up in a world were dyslexics were not recognised likely changed me. From a very early age, particularly at school, I would have to devise 'work arounds' or cover ups to prevent being seen as stupid.
Often this would involve being able to sum up or assess other people very quickly. Even today I find when meeting a person for the fist time I may come away not remembering their name (that is not important to me) but having a good insight as to 'who's this person 'is'. Presumably so I can be better able to defend myself against them if I am threatened.
I guess what I am saying is that, Yes, dyslexia plays a big part in how I think , but growing up with dyslexia in an unaccepting world also changed me.
This explains why I am hyper sensitive to peoples moods…having lived a traumatic childhood PTSD sexual abuse and psychological abuse …ontop of the dislexic ADD stuff . I wonder if the over-reaction ? Sweating / thermoregulation problem . ??👉is a physical or psychophysical issue for me …. As I sweat when having to fill out any kind of documents.
Well the researchers use the physical Measure of sweat on the participants fingers to get a better understanding of their emotional state.
So I would assume that it would be more psychological for you. 🤷♂️ what do you think?
Appreciate your work :)
Thank you 😊
Where can we get tested in the United states? ??? Brain imaging? I am in Virginia, but can travel to PA. I was misdiagnosed, 20 years ago, then found out I Thank you for doing these videos. was dyslexic,... i hyperfocus, I am emotionally reading a room. I pick up on all emotional cues. I can't do multiple choice, but am excellent at writting essays. I have my masters, and it took me 3 years longer to complete my degrees.
I feel that I am totally like that
Interesting right?! I thought it was A great research paper…
In dyslexic and would I identify as what you were describing
Lol this explains a lot. Unfortunately my ASD traits kicks in when my interactions is needed, and I empathise when I can observe without need to interact or focus on acting appropriately, and when it one source of information. Might explain my duality feeling of having my emotions connected and be over the top reactive and my analytical side that have the emotions beside myself so I can observe and understand without being overwhelmed by all the emotions.
So now I know why I cry during commercials cool.
There you go 😃
Would this include calling a wasp your pet because she showed up building a mud nest on your screen door and not being able to kill her? I eventually took the nest off and flushed it and felt horrible for her because the next 2 days she was frantically looking for it. That was a few years ago and I still feel bad for her.
And dead animals on roads, OMGsh. I just can't handle it! The sadness!
I even feel sad for a plant that I am throwing away the imperfect parts in favor of allowing the better parts to grow stronger. It's called thinning, but I feel terrible even though I don't believe the plant actually has feelings.
Yes brother
I love being dyslexia because I'm different from everybody else
Nailed it right on the head with me....i feel its getting worse in my 30s personally
As a dyslexic with ADHD and autism, I can kind of agree with that. Emotion are way over welling in a group, but being social in groups, not going to happen. Reading emotions of a single person is easier than reading a books. A person with strong emotions, lets just say we're going to close that book.
Together with ADHD and autism it probably becomes a little bit of a different story. Cool though that the video resonated with you anyway. 😊
i cant be around angry or sad people for very long or my empathy will override my anti-depressants
How can i talk to you and get your help!!!
Hey :) If you like we can meet one on one and we can work on the thing you are struggling with together. It would be easiest for me if you fill out this form. sites.google.com/view/arije-aike-de-haas/11-consultations
I am tired of going through I cannot read on my own I don't like it because I have to let people in my life and they don't even know how I feel to have a disability is hard to change but I'm very smart and Celestial I'm intelligent I'm fast learner I'm a hard worker I'm loving I'm respectful I need do not want people around me all the time
unfortunately I understand 💔🫂 .
soul crushing pain as well ?
Sick and tired of being tired all the time ?
Surround by people talking the same rubbish day in day out ….talking all day -while saying Nothing of value ?
Maybe this is just me -and the things that give me the shits . If I’m mistaken and I don’t understand anything you’re feeling . 🫂 my apologies . 👣🦘🌍🫂
Touch sensitivity would be something to be looked at.
i was diagnoed wih dislexia end disgafia at the aeg of 11 i am now 11.5
I think I'm dyslexic i have experience a lot of troubles in my childhood. I think I'm highly sensitive to the world around me, i can understand people's emotions, and i soufre a lot from depression. I'm afraid to go to psychiatric and being diagnosis with a bipolar disease or something else 😣😣😣
Yep I’m dyslexic ADD 100% on the money , like 🤦🏻♀️ we needed any more fukn problems . But it’s a fact , iv lived with for 55 years . Family members have commented over the years that they never expected me to make it through childhood / teens. Been abused / Broken home and so much more besides . This study just makes it more surprising that I’m still alive. Lived with PTSD DEPRESSION CRAP from childhood . With the way society is going …I don’t expect humanity has much longer to worry about it all . Our old Mate Klause Shwab will fix it all right up . 🤦🏻♀️ . Good luck people . For a glimmer of hope check out Dr Steven Greer’s work .
I have learned to have no feelings
I have the traits but I’m 😢not sure
I go through a lot but no see it's different when you say dyslexia a person who cannot comprehend everything at one time you can but it's going to be how your brain want to take it in you can't fight but your brain do not want to come in your body with so you got to let it just flow I didn't know that until now I'm 43 years old and I still have dyslexia I cannot read that good but I get by you know I learned I learned how to read things I have to visualize it have to be in front of me things that I saw before and then I keep everything recorded in my brain
Am sure am dyslexic stuggled all life has held me back from doing what i want in life suddley relised why wacthing your vidieo

Growing up in a abusive environment. Missing all or most of childhood developmental markers a steady diet of cruelty. The mind adapts by learning to filter out rejection not belonging socially. So unknowingly the individuals mind is developing a survival style by desensitizing emotional feelings in order to survive the environment, to ensure survival. If this Is the world a child experiences then more than likely they are going to be pretty numb to the guy on fire next to them. Possibly thinking poor Bastard glad it's not me. Like I said, if dyslexia was the only hurdle to overcome in life. It would've been a breeze. Unfortunately it was not. It was the systemic psychological abuse by the system and home environment. The person who experiences these things will pay the most. The individuals who were abused. Doesn't seem fair. But that's just the way the world is. At the age of 38, I realized I had to unlearn everything that was taught to me. It just took another 30 years to fully understand that statement. Life as a pack mule with blinders.
I guess I needed to make it more clear what I was thinking that’s what my dyslexic mind does at times is take too many shortcuts then getting lost in translation.
Why you keep saying the dyslexia dyslexia group so all we are certain type of people because we have dyslexia will we have our own community
What is dyslexic so now you putting the name on people that have reading problems that we have very good comprehension it is people do not know how to deal with us
Try going to war as a dyslexic..
Yes. I understand and experience this
