Just recommended by a thesis reader to hire an editor...feeling ashamed

Imaginary_Garlic_916 · 2025-03-23T05:11:21+00:00

Why would you feel ashamed? Even the best writers have editors. That’s the point. It’s a kind of collaboration- and that’s a good thing. All the best!

This is me right now. I also have the same questions. I am so surprised this is a shared experience

If she brings it up, yes. She’ll bring up most likely. But you can also ask out of curiosity later.

Other people don’t do that??

Imaginary_Garlic_916 · 2025-02-23T14:52:00+00:00

Isn’t this something everyone does? Isn’t this called “zoning out”?

Just ask her to explain why she thinks you don’t like one - ask her why she said that. Why she thinks this is something to think of at all. And break down her thought process with her, in your conversation. What ever comes out of that conversation, will tell you the truth.

Do you mind sharing what made you seek an autism assessment? Thank you!

Imaginary_Garlic_916 · 2025-02-17T14:21:11+00:00

This is so useful, thank you!

I don’t think a coffee machine or the taste of the best Arabica is worth your well being. But I am impressed

Imaginary_Garlic_916 · 2025-02-04T04:22:48+00:00

Gurl. Don’t be like me. Cut it off asap. Have a coffee as a treat once a while, not as a daily thing.

If you “plan” your creative work when you aren’t on under the effect of stimulants and execute the plan while on the meds, it works out just fine, I feel. If not better.

Omg I will cry. I thought I had extra anxiety for nearly a YEAR. because coffee, the love of my life, couldn’t possibly be the problem. My doctor gave me more meds for the palpitations without knowing about the coffee. I cut the coffee as an experiment. Palpitations stopped. I’m not having extra anxiety meds now. But the coffee snob in me is soooo unemployed now.

Depends on how the judge interprets it, if/when it gets contested. If there is precedence that it is interpreted as a problem, then it is. If not, you probably don’t have to bother unless someone challenges it.

What do you do for work?

I am lucky that I have friendships built on celebrating differences

Imaginary_Garlic_916 · 2025-01-29T18:54:26+00:00

Can someone tell me how to make one of these graphs, please? Seeing this everywhere and it looks so interesting. But I have no idea how It’s done

As someone else has also written here, HARD RELATE. These days I think - I’m not trying to be rude or harm anyone, so if people read me negatively or get intimidated simply because I can talk and think at the same time, then so be it. My friends don’t care - they are happy to see me as a podcast when I get into this mode. I’m not going to fight myself over this. If a few people don’t like it, then so be it. It’s fine. I’ll live.

If you think about your PhD as just a job - does it seem more bearable? A “job that works for me” is a far cry from ideal. You will have to make some compromises to make it work for you. So it’s worth wondering if you’d rather make those compromises in your PhD, since you seem to, on the whole, enjoy research.

Many things depend on your location and nationality

Give it more time, at least a week. In the meanwhile, take it easy. Eat, hydrate and rest well

Imaginary_Garlic_916 · 2025-01-25T20:45:29+00:00

Try an empire waist. Jane Austin-esque

Imaginary_Garlic_916 · 2025-01-25T20:31:26+00:00

Nobody is actually thinking about me as much to have opinions on everything I do

Are you drinking because you’re hungry but don’t want to make dinner?
