    It honestly means a LOT that you talked about your overstimulation and wearing headphones to counteract it.

      What most people don't realize is in an autistic person's brain, noises are literally translated to pain. I'm not sure if it'd everyone on the spectrum, but my bonus son had that issue, and he had Aspbergers(sorry if I spelled it wrong). Headphones were his best friend and I made sure he had extra pairs in his bags/coat pockets and 2 over the ear sets so he had one for home and one for school. Just doing that helped him to improve his ability to focus in school, and he was happier at school. So even tho I'm not diagnosed/om the spectrum, I am empathize, as my anxiety can make noise overestimating, even painful, at times. I'm so sorry that more people can't be human about things that are a type of normal human behavior. I mean, I think it's normal if a noise hurts your ears, then you want to cover them!

      ​​​​@@funsizedi88just FYI, Asperger's is no longer recognized. All autism is on the same spectrum, so it is all called autism spectrum disorder. Hans Asperger was a Nazi so it was never a great name to begin with but that's not the reason for the change. The distinction never actually existed in the first place and calling it a different name is harmful because it implies that those with "Asperger's" were superior to others with autism. A lot of people who were given that diagnosis aren't aware of the change, so this is not a criticism of you, just a heads up because it is considered offensive and hurtful.

      School is suppose to prepare you for the real world and be sorta draconian. You need to overcome your personal problems if possible😢 as long as it doesn’t physically hurt maybe the mental strain will be temporary but we don’t know if you’re coddled. We live in a capitalist society and esthetics are the first thing seen and judged. Even if you’re 10% more efficient managerial figures would still prefer you looking more engaged sans 🎧. If you realize you’re a Super minority that can’t function normally due to sound sensitivity get discreet earplugs so others don’t think you’re rebellious or being disrespectful

      ​@@kimwhatmatters4085No. No, in fact, we don't have to conform to ableist standards, especially when they cause us pain and harm. It is ridiculous to insist that we hide ourselves for the comfort of normies.
      And like she said, noise hurts! Thats not an exaggeration. Overstimulation is physically painful. And for people like me with chronic pain, it can make our chronic pain worse too.
      And of course, if we have to deal with processing overstimulation, we're gonna be less productive. Its much better to throw on some ear protection and get work done than to mask and pretend everything is fine until we can't take it any more.
      So the next time you see someone wearing noise cancelling headphones, or stimming, or whatever... just move on. Don't say anything. You don't need to have an opinion. It doesn't affect you. Just move on. The world will be fine.

      @kimwhatmatters4085 harm like this doesn't create endurance & strength to overcome these pains, it causes deeper distress that becomes harder & harder to stabilize from.
      we teach people to endure & feel shame & guilt for trying to find relief/ avoid sources of pain, but don't give them the tools & space to recover.
      the "real world" thing is an excuse by the rich to keep doing whatever they want despite how it hurts the broad population below them. life can be fair, life can be soft & caring & loving. but so many people have been brainwashed to believe that these current levels of cruelty & pain & unfairness & apathy is normal. it's not!
      the world can be a gentle place. we have to do things to change the power imbalances & make space for these changes though.

    I’m from the Midwest, and occasionally my mom and I would venture a state over and visit a little town that’s known for its haunted hotels & shopping. In the town center, circa 2014 - there used to be a “Pink Zebra Boutique” & I still remember how overwhelming the smell was when I walked into that place. Think butterscotch mixed with cinnamon and something super floral. Anyways, the owner was working that day & she sold all of the wax melts + things like Miss Me jeans, “Live Laugh Love” T Shirts & other things that were very “I live in the Midwest & it’s 2014”. I haven’t thought about this in years, but looking back I remember her grabbing my mom and taking her to the side while I looked at the clothes and things and asking her where she was from, where she worked, and other personal questions. I was around 14 and oblivious to MLM’s but I know for a fact she was trying to pitch an MLM opportunity now, only because of how rude she was to us when my mother apparently said “No thanks” and told me we were leaving.

This is the first video I've seen on Pink Zebra but the company pops up with some frequency in the FB MLM live video groups. I genuinely think their scent blend/recipe concept is fun (mix different scents to make your perfect custom scent) - but that can be easily replicated with non-Pink Zebra wax bead products and it incentivizes their consultants to buy a lot of scents.

      When I had to work in office at my last job, they kept the lights on super bright and our desks were squished together in rows, so I would get super anxious and would even start feeling exhausted and couldn’t shake it. I had no idea why until I realized I was overstimulated. I only go into an office a couple times a week now at my new job but they are way more understanding and there’s more people like me on my team so the lights are dim, there’s no music playing and we have more of a cubicle style.

    I have a sad story about this one. 7 years ago I worked in a phone center with a woman who also worked for Pink Zebra. She was this kind and funny woman that lived with her aunt and uncle in the country. She rented the back office/home part of the families barn because she couldn’t afford her own place. The kitchen was a van that was fused to the building somehow. Anyway, she brought me over to swim in the family’s pool next door after work, and we had to go change in her place. I walked in and instantly was hit with 1) the stench of prettified dog poop and 2) some sort of sharp candy smell. This poor woman had been selling Pink Zebra to get the discount to scent her own home. Because she never picked up after her dog. And not just all over the house, but there was a bedroom she didn’t use. It was her and her husbands before he left her … so she absolutely refused to ever go in that bedroom. Instead her tiny dog used the entire bed/room as his toilet. And she attempted to cover up the scent with Pink Zebra wax. I’ve never forgotten that sickly sweet but rotten smell associated with a deep deep depression and pet neglect. She was a nice woman she just had so many Heath and mental issues and someone took advantage of her desperation by selling her an MLM. She almost tried to get me to do it but I had already heard of anti MLM.

    I remember we went to like a craft fair type of thing one time when I was a kid and came upon this booth that let you craft your own candles from those little wax sprinkles. I was a very sensory child and LOVED it. Smelled pretty nice too. I always considered that a nice memory. When i saw the title I went CAREENING back to that moment and that was most definitely a pink zebra stall I made that candle at 😭 thank god they didn’t sucker my mom into an mlm

      @jamesgilbertjr4963 Před 11 měsíci +1

      They are not like the 'Bad MLM's' out there. They really actually help a lot of folks & they actually smell so good because they used to work w/B&BW. That's where the people started & branched out for themselves when B&BW really blew up. Also, they now have a wall hug that you can put scented oils too! This company is not a typical MLM, from experience.

    Never apologise! I saw a few people recommend Loop earbuds, I think that’s what they’re called, (I’ve never used them personally) but might be worth looking at to help cancel noise. They look stylish AF as well!

  • @lazarusundfrodrick
    @lazarusundfrodrick Před rokem +5

    I do the exact same thing with headphones! If noise or like, regular old anxiety gets to be too much, I get really overwhelmed, and it will set off my fibro. I've taken to wearing earbuds around to help dampen sound, it's helped so much with sensory overload.

  • @BRETTSBOO69
    @BRETTSBOO69 Před 11 měsíci +4

    I am still signed up as a consultant but don’t actively sell anymore. It is expensive and costly to be a consultant and I never made much. It was fun meeting new people and having parties but we constantly do “recruiting” and I didn’t feel good about it. I stopped actively selling and now I have about $10,000 in merchandise I’m stuck with. The quality of all the products have severely deceased in the last 4 years and the prices have increased. I highly suggest don’t sign up, it will suck your bank account dry. You don’t make much money selling but costs you a fortune!

    Isabella! I’m a tLMHC and it is completely valid and normal to be overstimulated especially when you’re under large amounts of stress due to your high cortisol levels!! Your body is in fight or flight and that can make you especially sensitive to different sounds, temperatures, and other sensory things. I hope you’re able to practice some mindfulness and relax at some points in your day, sending you lots of love right now 💛

  • @madysonbailey4961

    Such a good point about how much extra people have to buy constantly to try and sell in these MLMs. My mom sells Pampered Chef and her garage is filled with Pampered Chef stuff that she never uses and was told she had to buy in order to show people during parties.

    Thank you for talking about your anxiety and depression. We would all benefit from talking about it, because, honestly, it's something EVERYONE has. Some have it occasionally, some daily. Some are level 10, some are level 1, and some slide all around the scale.. It's OK and normal and it's something you CAN live with and be healthy with. :)

    This is so nitpicky I know, but is that "Career Plan" document from the company itself? Because they spelled "selling" wrong in the phases list and that kind of thing is a yikes for me if they're expecting me to give them large amounts of money 😬

    I only in the last couple of years started getting anxiety attacks. Certain lighting worsens it and often sounds raise my irritability. I never thought to wear headphones. I've done sunglasses indoors which makes me feel odd but it does seem to help a bit if I'm not able to turn the lights off for one reason or another. Anywho, I'm going to try headphones next time I'm able to get some.

    One of the first hang outs I had with my friend her mom gave me a bunch of pink zebra wax melts cause she had so much. It actually smells really nice! It feels little funny and heart breaking to find out it’s an mlm. I accidentally broke the wax melter that was gifted to me and thought about buying a replacement from them cause I really liked the design but I don’t feel good giving them my money now.
