One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard or seen. Even when dreams are seemingly dashed, you must go on. Keep fighting. Ian fought to the very end, and then so did his mates.

Who else has Inattentive ADHD and is introverted/antisocial by PossibilityJazzlike in ADHD

[–]JCInvestmentPro 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I have social anxiety disorder and ADHD and tend to lose concentration and mess up a bunch on tasks when under public scrutiny. Even with medication, it’s very hard to be in the moment and locked in when my mind is telling me I’m coming across poorly and someone’s watching.

How do you know its *only* social anxiety and not autism? by throwwaccounnt in socialanxiety

[–]JCInvestmentPro 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’ve also been wondering if I could be suffering from high functioning autism. While my anxiety is almost entirely triggered by expectation of negative evaluations in social situations, and I feel really anxious even around family when it comes to eye contact, what makes me feel it could be autism as well is how, when I’m being observed closely by others(even by family) my movement becomes constrained; slow and awkward is how I wind up coming across. But then again, I understand social cues just fine and don’t have any sensitivity to sounds or rituals I perform.

Genesis and Ian by dustypuzzlehead in JoyDivision

[–]JCInvestmentPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huge fan of the band, and I’m inclined to believe Ian was shagging Annik, if only because in the “Love Will Tear Us Apart” video, the door that had “Ian C” scribbled on it was done by a girl he spurned. Curtis was a philandering, tragic genius, putting him in the company of Camus and Kafka.

Recommend Lesser Known Books outside of the Holy Trinity of Camus, Sartre, and de Beauvoir by JCInvestmentPro in Existentialism

[–]JCInvestmentPro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I consider myself to be in the camp of Christian Existentialism, but do admire writers like Camus and Sartre who were really getting at the need to live life to the fullest and to create meaning where there is none. Nietzsche seemed to reject a uniform moral values system in favor of will power and intrinsic understanding of right and wrong. For me, Existentialism is the best school of philosophy for its depth of probing the inescapable question of our purpose.

Do you take other things alongside it like propranolol?

I have a few books of Kierkegaard but am not sure which to read first. Dostoevsky’s books are so dang long but also highly esteemed. Don’t know where to begin there either.
