The Neurodivergent Lounge - Episode_4 Too Much vs Toxic

Ever been called intense? Dramatic? “A lot”?

For neurodivergent folks, emotional depth is often mislabeled as volatility—and we’re left wondering, am I toxic… or just misunderstood?

In this episode, Marie unpacks the difference between emotional intensity and true toxicity. You’ll explore why neurodivergent communication styles are often mistaken for conflict, how masking plays into it, and why boundaries aren’t just about others—they’re about clarity with yourself.

If you’ve ever been made to feel like you’re the problem for simply feeling deeply—this is the reframe you didn’t know you needed.

In this episode:

• How to separate your intensity from someone else’s discomfort
• Why “too much” is often code for “more than I can handle”
• The difference between trauma-driven toxicity and emotional truth
• How SORA Ally helps decode emotional patterns without shame

You’re not too much. You’re the right amount for the right people.

Let’s rewrite the story together.
