First off getting haircuts is so incredibly hard for me. I hate being stuck in a hair for an hour talking to someone I barely know. Today I went to a studio salon I’d never been to before in a downtown area of a major city. Driving there and finding parking was stressful, the noise, people and busy streets overstimulating and I got to my appointment right on the dot so I had no time to ground myself. When I was in the studio I calmed a bit but asthe time dragged on I began to dissociate and couldn’t focus on what was being said. By the end of the appointment I was in flight mode and rushed to get out of there so when I was paying for my appointment I completed the transaction with including a tip. It was an accident and I was mortified. I started tearing up and she noticed. She told me how sweet I was and that she really liked me which made it worse. I’m ok now and I accept this is just how I am but it still sucks. I truly wish none of us had to live with this burden.
