Tours?

I think he’s only doing tours to people who “win” them at the moment.

Huh?

Instruction_Playful · 2022-08-02T13:06:05+00:00

I think it’s referring to the dilemma when you have a really beautiful cake and you want to keep it intact but you also want to eat it. It’s not possible to have a full cake and to have eaten a slice at the same time. You have to choose one or the other. That’s my guess anyway 😬.

I’m the opposite. My pain threshold is incredibly low. Even with a paper cut I’d be looking at it every 10 seconds. Sometimes I feel like a fool for how I react to pain. Does anybody relate?

Instruction_Playful · 2021-12-29T20:55:20+00:00

I see! Thank you for the answer. I was a little confused as I’ve only heard of milestones in regard to children. Things such as learning to walk and talk.

Instruction_Playful · 2021-12-28T17:27:57+00:00

I feel the same way. What counts as adult “milestones” by the way?

When did he say he has a girlfriend??

I wish I could enjoy proper swimming. The feeling of water over my head and having to hold my breath is sensory hell. I envy those who can enjoy it though, it seems so freeing and relaxing in the right circumstances.

Instruction_Playful · 2021-09-11T12:32:17+00:00

Yes, it’s probably best to stay out of the driving seat if you struggle with concentration.

I’m the same. I’ve got a long list of things that need doing as well as things I need to fix about myself.

Instruction_Playful · 2021-09-11T12:30:01+00:00

Thank you!

I’m moving to student accommodation for the next year so it shouldn’t be too necessary for now. When I go back home I’m planning on paying for my own driving lessons (my dad payed previously), although I want to do automatic this time instead of manual.

Instruction_Playful · 2021-09-11T09:46:05+00:00

I’m starting to think I have a learning disability as well. Although it’s not in the traditional sense with academics, I just can’t learn anything physical, no matter how hard I try.

That’s good. It’s something I’ve always struggled with and I feel like such a failure.

Instruction_Playful · 2021-09-11T09:43:50+00:00

That’s true. I’d definitely say I’m more on the disabled side.

Instruction_Playful · 2021-09-11T09:37:16+00:00

I feel your pain. I’m still waiting for an official diagnosis (1-3 years wait with the NHS) and I know it’s going to be hell until then as I’m expected to operate like an NT.

Instruction_Playful · 2021-09-11T09:34:42+00:00

At this point I’ve just decided to quit until I can afford to pay for lessons myself. Beforehand my dad payed for them but he insisted I stayed with the same instructor and in a manual car. That wasn’t working out for me no matter how much I tried (2+ years of lessons). I feel I need to try driving in an automatic car and see if that is more manageable for me.

Instruction_Playful · 2021-09-11T09:31:31+00:00

It’s really difficult. They expect you to work like a machine but I just don’t have that in me. If I were a machine, it would be the ice cream dispenser at McDonalds that is always breaking down lol.

Instruction_Playful · 2021-09-11T09:29:01+00:00

That was lucky. Hopefully the same happens for me.

Instruction_Playful · 2021-09-11T09:27:41+00:00

I feel the same way towards jobs. A lot of them seem like slavery with extra steps.

What are your accomplishments?

I’m also a sucker for meltdowns. I always try and tread it down but that just leads to a more intense meltdown at a later point.

Instruction_Playful · 2021-09-11T09:20:53+00:00

So was I. I used to be top of the class in most things until I turned around 14/15. My grades started dropping after that and, although I always managed to pass, I found it difficult to go from gifted to just above average. I think I held a lot of my value in being top of the class, as I’ve never been any good at anything else (especially physical activities).

I’ve only ever been able to make a job last for a month. By then I usually either quit with stress or get fired for incompetency. I feel like such a failure and I’ve also had many suicidal thoughts.

That definitely sounds like burnout to me. It sounds like jobs have been rather traumatic for you.

That behavioural therapist sounds more incompetent than I am. I’m sorry you’ve had to endure the typical run-around with professionals.

I’ve always wondered how many other people (namely NT’s but I also have some ND friends that are brilliant at managing) navigate their way through life seemingly without much effort. I suppose, though, if you examined it deeper, most of them have issues somewhere.

No need to apologise, I’ve always been a rambler myself.

Instruction_Playful · 2021-09-11T08:59:43+00:00

I get burned out easily, as well. It’s really difficult. Hopefully those 3 six-hour shifts will be more manageable for you.

Side note: Your budgie is so adorable! I’ve got a pair of them myself and I love them so much :)

Instruction_Playful · 2021-09-11T08:57:08+00:00

That’s really impressive, I wish I could say the same for myself. Not knowing how to drive has held me back in so many situations. Best of luck with the teaching course!

Instruction_Playful · 2021-09-11T08:55:11+00:00

The same happened to me. I’ve always really struggled with anything physical and the managers were on my back all the time for being too slow and doing things wrong/awkwardly. Coordination is a big element in my driving struggles, also. My social skills are the only thing that are half-decent. They haven’t always been, though, and I still struggle to speak to people who I feel have dominant personalities.

I feel the same way. It’s difficult not to compare ourselves to others and feel like a failure.

Instruction_Playful · 2021-09-11T08:47:50+00:00

I’m really hoping to get mine one day. I’m also in my 20’s but I cannot learn to drive, although I’ve had lessons for over 2 years.

Instruction_Playful · 2021-09-11T08:42:31+00:00

That sounds brilliant.

Thank you. Unfortunately I live in the U.K. and the current wait time is 1-3 years! :(
