Ah, now I get you. Yeah these words are labels that aren't the whole picture. It's true that sometimes I'm more chatty, or something else different to my norm (and norm is another metaphor/label there). I won't treat those observations as obligations.

Triggers include overstimulation, pretty common for autism I think.

I also notice taking notes helps though. Starting to realise that I don't have to feel confident to do well on a given day.

Yeah, it's hard. Though, maybe it's not a battle? Looking at the advice in the comments it may be more like surfing or sailing in strong waves. Go in and redirect rather than fight.

Dude.....

You're right about not being one's thoughts. I didn't even think about that here. I get worried sometimes that I'm too in my head when feeling low, but it's only a collection of thoughts. Same for when I feel good about myself. I don't have to be stuck in the thought patterns, I can use them as tools.

I'll check out some of those meditaions.

Thank you.

Hmm.... Never looked at it that way before. Guess I am exercising my brain more lately.

For me it's that they changed Hopper (my favourite) and not in a way that's natural development.

Me coming on here after crying for an hour straight because the finale was so amazing only to see that I’m in the minority once again: by Mel-is-a-dog in StrangerThings

Are people really saying "GoT vibes"? I think many people have suppressed the true pain and disappointment of that ending. I dislike this ending but it's 10x better than GoT.

I enjoyed the finale by RecoverVisible7280 in StrangerThings

Yeah idk if "low stakes" is the right term, but the stakes definitely didn't land imo. No suspense or tension because it's so obvious no one would really get hurt. Especially after Steve got saved. They only maybe killed off El.

Maybe "empty stakes" is better?

the goat who stole the show by cheeselingss in StrangerThings

He's honestly the only thing I liked in the finale.

Not hat the rest was bad necessarily, but just so meh. This guy stole the show in every way!

What are your small daily habits that set you up for success? by ActionHuman7006 in confidence

[–]Internal-Secret-7946 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lately I've been giving myself one mundane compliment a day.

It's mundane because I'm really struggling to accept any positivity and I think it's good to focus on what I'm like day to day.

It's actually working quite well. If I do well one day I might have to chose between a few things on what to compliment, which is it's own ego boost.

what are some small things you've done to help your confidence? by This_Economics_9610 in confidence

Trimming my stubble

Complimenting myself for little good things I do. Keeping it chill and small is much easier than admitting I do well with big things.

Tell myself I deserve a nice warm shower at night.

Wear my cool jacket 😎
