Wearing Accessories as a Sensitive Person (Me :D)

    Wearing jewelry has always been something I romanticized for a long while. Although, I never committed to wearing any sort of jewelry/accessories (besides my glasses) until I graduated from university, because they always felt like a struggle to put on and deal with.

    I, of course, wear prescribed glasses. -2.50 on both eyes last time I checked, and the only issue I have is that my eyes get worn out, and I can consciously feel my sockets hollow out if I'm actively perceiving for too long. I've tried to wear rings and crosses that my grandmother gifted me, but they were never actually fitted for me, so they didn't fit well. And, the crosses (more so, the metal and its weight on my skin) never felt right.

    I wore headbands for a short bit before they broke with use. I primarily used them to pull my bangs back because they were pretty long and pissed me off, but for a brief period, I wore cat-ear headbands for the style. I've talked about bandanas not ever feeling tight enough or sat right on my head. I've tried wearing hair pins and clips but styling my hair with them never felt good. The clips I have are cool as hell, but I don't actually know what to do with my hair when I clip it. I tried being a cap guy, but I lost my hat once, and now, I never want to do that ever again. I wore beanies for a bit, but I hated how my hair felt afterwards.

> So, headbands are fine. I just phased out of them for the time being.

    Bracelets are one of the worst things I've had to deal with. They're cool to look at and have, but I really dislike how they feel and how they interact with the world. Often, I'm made aware that I have to change how I move my arms so that the bracelet doesn't bother me or get caught in something, and I can't seem to forget about them being ON me.

    Necklaces are kind of similar, but I really like silver chains visually. I have a pair that's a little too short for my liking but it's cool nonetheless. I haven't put it on because its length kind of disappoints me, but if I really feel up for it, I'll put it on. Taking it off can make me super mad though. I feel like I'm suffocating when I realize I've had a necklace on all day and I need it to get off my body NOWWW.

    Rings are one of the most disappointing experiences I've ever had. I've tried on a lot of rings in my life and none of them ever work out for me. I get sad about it because I think they're one of the coolest things to accessorize yourself with, especially with a bunch of rings on. However, I quickly learned that it's one of the most bothersome things in the world.

    All of this is to say that I wear one piece of jewelry consistently: a ring on my pinky finger. More accurately, it's a stainless steel band I got after graduating (Something about engineering rings. Not important.). I got a good size for it so when I shake my hand like crazy it doesn't fly off, it doesn't get caught up in anything because of its flatness, and it doesn't even bother me when I'm doing anything with my hands (e.g., writing) (yeah, it's on my writing hand! It doesn't scratch on drag on anything). More importantly, I don't really feel it; as a result, I've been basing off any other jewelry/accessory I put on whether I can "feel" it, which, like, rules out so many things. I don't have earrings; however, I don't know how I'll feel about those. Basically, I want accessories that can assimilate into my body as if it were a part of me <3. Low-profile, subtle, non-intrusive.

    What's really important to note is that I never take this ring off. (okay, i guess that part about the engineering ring has relevance now) The purpose of this ring is that it isn't supposed to be taken off ever. Okay that's all I'm gonna say about that cause I'm too lazy to explain. But, the fact that it's not something I have to tell myself to put on before I go out, rather it's already, like, a part of me, does a lot for my brain and mental well-being. Otherwise, it would carry its own weight and probably bog me down somewhat, which is why I don't actively choose to put on accessories as often, because I think of them as a sort of task.
