Does anyone else experience this.

I don’t really know how to explain this but I find my brain, myself to be different. Idk why but like there’s so many examples such as today someone ate out of my breakfast bowl, and I instantly hated it, my brain doesn’t like it and it sets me off like I start overthinking how they have just eaten out of my bowl and what if ….. (also they have like 5 bowls themselves I have the 1 bowl) and then I need to be the one to clean it or I can’t use it again it also causes arguments and then after I feel crazy. Other examples are I don’t like people reaching over my food, touching me, I don’t like certain sounds like ppl eating and I don’t like big public outings. Such as I could be fine but ones I become anxious or whatever I become a complete different person little things will get to me (and it makes me hate me) the list goes on. Idk what’s wrong with me but I don’t understand and nobody else does I try to explain I don’t like these certain things but nobody hears me and I go in a endless circle of feeling crazy. I know it’s annoying for others trust me like I said it drives me crazy

So I don't want to make any assumptions, but I am autistic and this sounds like some of the things I find hard in everyday life, and it is probably worth looking into a diagnosis to find out if you might be autistic.
Autism is not a negative thing, it just means that you might see the world in a slightly different way, as you process things slightly differently to other people, especially sensory things.
hope this helps!
