[RepComm] Happiness-high

[mamuzzy]

There is a thing as "too much happiness", and I like to include this with Jaing when putting him into scenarios. Simply because I imagine him being really emotional, or more like, having trouble with emotional regulation. As an adult, he is more disciplined to not throw out full blown tantrums, screaming, and hurting himself during his fits, but the emotional intensity is still there. 

 

But I think this emotional intensity is present when experiencing positive emotions too. Jaing can get too excited about things, that his brain and body can't handle it, but this is the complete reverse of the tantrums. This is silent, and from the outside it would look like, he is just spacing out. Shapes suddenly not making any sense, he sees objects, he maybe recall their names, but the concept around them just doesn't make sense. This state of high is too much he doesn't even feel happiness anymore. Or anything. 

 

He has to sit down. Focus on a point, preferably in a dimmer lights. And come back to himself. 

 

The drop from this happiness high can be really intense too. He always swears he will never have fun again, only in controlled environment (haha, good one) and the cycle starts over.
