I can only be hospitable

The table is laid first and I know where everyone is sitting.

My mind is blank right now, but if it clears, will post again, because I like this thread very much :)

That just about covers most things for me. I can only sing in tune if others are singing too and I think I have more of an operatic voice, since I sense that I am much better at that level. But it is so big, that I fear I am wrong.
 
I can only get pass out sleepy in the daytime if I have an anxiety overload.

Like, if I don't lay down I'm gonna fall down sleepy.
 
I have been thinking about this. It seems I need to live in the negative.

1. I can only not be tortured by food if I am not eating it. I can only avoid not being tortured by digestion and stomach pain if I do not eat.

2. I can only not be tortured by sounds if I hear nothing or only quiet sounds or wear earplugs.

3. I can only not be tormented by light if I am not outside during the bright times or wear sunglasses.

4. I can only not be torment by scratchy clothes if I only wear the clothes I have to wear. I can only not be tormented by touch if I am not touched.

5. I can only not be tortured by odours if I wear a respirator.

As to what I actively DO, I am serious when I say most of what I do is to avoid being tormented by SPD issues. I can't make a lot of active choices.
 
I can only eat meat and poultry (excluding things like burgers/sausages) if I have cut it and prepared it myself.

Reason being, it has stringy/chewy/gristly bits, and if I don't KNOW its all gone by cutting it myself and I get some in my mouth I can't eat the rest of my meal.


I can only eat bread if it is exactly the right texture and smell for me... Its difficult to explain that one...
 
I can only sleep if I have sound and some light so sleep with the tv on.

I can only go out in the summer if I have no choice.
 
I can only make appropriate content for a snowclone, if I know what the format is.

There are little or no other noises in the room
