EP 15: DND I'm Overstimulated

from Interlinked · host Ray Schonhiutt

“Unfortunately, I can't respond to your text because it stressed me out for no reason and now it's been too long so I’m just gonna ignore it” … How life has been lately lol. Ever feel like everything is just too much? There’s too much going on, too many options, too much to do, too many people around, too many noises, and just too much stimulation?!?! Sensory overloaaaaaaad is real. In this week’s episode, I'm opening up about my recent struggles. Specifically, my intense inability to make choices due to feeling overstimulated asfffff. Lately, the smallest tasks have been stressing me out to the point where I’m simply paralyzed from making any movement or progress. If you are finding yourself in a similar boat, this episode will give ya a few pointers, but above all the goal is just to make you feel comforted and validated. Social media is a highlight reel! I make my fair contributions to the game, but I’ll always keep things real with y’all to remind you I’m flawed and human just like you. Check out this week’s homework (scroll down) for a glimpse of the topics covered, and if any stand out to you, tap iiiin. Thank you soooooo much for listening!

Social inquiry attempts to take a scientific approach to explaining the complexity of everyday experiences, but in practice there are many pitfalls. The course reviews common issues that arise, including language, culture, survey methods and the problems of distinguishing between facts and values, understanding and explanation, theory and observation, and induction and deduction. The central tenet is that philosophical thinking and practical research go hand in hand. This material is taken from The Open University Course D820 The Challenge of the Social Sciences.
