Hi everyone
I know that most people would not be bothered about this - and that I definitely know Im not normal with the way I reacted and am asking for advice as to what could be wrong with me.
So I sit in the same chair every day in the staff room with my friend and today a new staff member sat in the chair I always sit in. The change in chairs and the fact I wasnt able to sit in my chair which is AT THE END of the seating area where there is noone next to you - personal space - made me so uncomfortable that I felt my heart palpitating and I needed to leave the area.
I know this is an extreme reaction to not being able to sit in my normal chair but I dont understand why it affected me sooooo much.
I work in education and know some of our autistic students have similar reactions to seating, but know I definitely dont have autisim having looked into this so what can explain my stress about not being able to sit in my normal chair? Thank you for your advice.
