I’m sick of trying to be “that guy”
Im not that guy, I’m just me. I dont have to have “a thing.” I help my friends write essays, I struggle to apply for a job, then I drink some coffee. I play some games, read a book, listen to some music, but im not trying to make waves, I’m just trying to live. I’m not a psych major, I can’t explain every mental illness or identity or whatever people are trying to be the best at. I like people, I like being nice, and i think everyone should try it.
By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.
Yes, even if you're neurodivergent. I don't have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.
This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):
Here's a link on this for autism (though as an editor wow did that title need an editor lol):
Resources on this aren't great because they're mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There's worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.
But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:
Things can be easier. You might always have a disability around this (I certainly always will), but it can be easier. You do not have to be this stuck forever.
Play games with timers?? That just makes me anxiously rush through everything ;~;
haha what if we were in a rainy damp forest & we’re too intoxicated with each others presence to notice the chill in the air so we keep pointing out flora & fauna along the riverbed until we head back inside & take edibles in a candlelit bath ?? and then once they kick in we like fuck ??
as much as i want to be a detached emotionless little slut, i am, alas, a romantic at heart 🤢
"Men in dresses are seen as bad, but women in pants aren't!"
is not the statement that "men can't be feminine but women can be masculine in society" that you think it is.
Let me introduce: women with facial hair. Full beards. Mustaches. Bald women. Bodybuilder women. Women with visible body hair. These aren't "more acceptable" than men in dresses.
Pants don't have a gendered association anymore, while dresses do. There is something to be said for that, but it certainly ISN'T "masculine women are acceptable now."
being clingy sucks i want their attention 24/7 but like they have a life but also why isnt their life centered around me??
I beg of these types of people, read the Bible. On your own. They seem like they actually want to be faithful to their book, but they clearly haven’t read it. Plus, the book is also like 10x better when you skip Deuteronomy, too, due to just how many times Deuteronomy has been rewritten or “mistranslated” to push an agenda.
Btw, you can donate to menstrual hygiene kits for Sudanese women, which I would highly recommend if you can
And here’s another one for IDPs in Kumba-Cameroon
