I’m not worked up; this is my normal state of being.
This shit is the same reason why I got a DUI when I was sober back in the 2010s. I was my usual excited self and the cop thought I was on something. So they drug tested me, found the weed I smoked 3 days prior, and that was enough for a charge since it wasn’t legal then.
Any idiot with half a brain will tell you that weed does the exact opposite of getting you all worked up, but they needed an excuse to charge me with something so the the weed being in my urine was what they went with.
No, the problem is that I have ADHD and was raised by mentally abusive narcissists. The childhood trauma never went away, so naturally I’m on edge all the god damn time. But I can assure you that I’m at homeostasis. I’m used to feeling amped 24/7, much to the annoyance of everyone around me.
I have no chill, and no tolerance for criticism 'cause that’s all I ever got from my parents growing up. So when people push back against me, I just shut down.
You could have just said you were wrong and moved on. Getting all worked up seems to be taking up a lot more energy.

I can empathize. I too was raised by narcissists.
Alright then. Good luck with that lol
Thanks. Going to give therapy a try.
I hope it works for you, I know we could all use some therapy. In my experience the hardest part is just finding the right therapist.
