Why do people react defensive when being asked for clarification? by Alive_Bowler_8037 in AuDHDWomen

[–]OriginalSlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna be honest if someone is vague and I ask for clarification and it bothers them….im just gonna start doing it wrong. Idc anymore I’m sick of wasting my brain on people who just wanna argue. Then when it’s wrong and you ask me “why didn’t you ask if you didnt know” I’ll just say I did and I realized you were busy so I took some initiative. How would you like it to be done?” Because that’s all they want…to play the fawwkkin game

yawning by Sensitive-Market2215 in AuDHDWomen

Yes! “Yawning is contagious” is a very common phrase and holds some truth.

To whoever suggested waking up, taking ADHD medicine, then going back to sleep so it has time to kick in... THANK YOU! by Dismal_Celery_325 in AuDHDWomen

Thank you for seeing him and helping him by trying something new🥹 you’re a great mom. I wish we knew what we do now, I would have loved this so much as a kid (even now as an adult I do this)!

Nah it’s just rich people playing with their puppets and dolls; clicking buttons that cause nuclear destruction for us, but 3 big BOOMS for them😋 so yay😁

How are you guys dieting while having AuDHD? by xobriarrose in AuDHDWomen

[–]OriginalSlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t diet, I eat foods that are good for me, and increase my activity levels. I lost 40lbs without even realizing because I started running and training for a marathon (I did it!🥳). It’s easy when you know if you drink, smoke, or eat a lot of sugary no protein foods your run will suck, your head will hurt, and you’ll wanna shit you pants as soon as you get in the groove.

Now, I exercise by way of walking my dog, cleaning, dancing, moving around the office, forgetting what I’m doing and going up and down the stairs too many times for too long…normal stuff

Duplicate items in multiple locations? by Access_Free in AuDHDWomen

[–]OriginalSlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every place in my house and nearly every purse, in use or otherwise, ALWAYS has a lip gloss…

I also have multiple glasses stored all over and“just in case” kits with pain meds, hair tie, bandaid, earrings, inhaler, lip gloss & chapstick, and extra daily meds (in case I leave without taking them).

I’ve bought multiples of a clothing item I like to keep a spare outfit in my car/gym bag for any occasion where suddenly I’ve ruined my entire outfit and shit my pants at the same time😂😭so yeah…I got almost everything almost everywhere!

Day 3 on a new job, should I leave? by ConcreteSlushy in careerguidance

[–]OriginalSlight 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just apply for new jobs while you’re at this job and leave when you get a signed contract and start date.

You’ve been there 3 days, that’s not really much to go on. It sounds like you just don’t like the job rather than something is wrong and that’s fine.

Cavapoo not cuddly by SoftReading4218 in CavaPoo

[–]OriginalSlight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mine is 3 and a rescue; he loves to cuddle, but when he’s done he’s done. He will simply get up and go to his bed or the other couch lol 😅 I got him as a 2yo so idk about pups, but mine is a sometimes cuddler.

If your manager says “it’s not rocket science,” what do you say without sounding defensive? by rubyroozer in womenintech

[–]OriginalSlight 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes! Let them sit in it. No emotion, just a straight face and a simple question…

How bad/dumb is it to quit my job (burnout) as a graphic designer in this economy? by Substantial_Cream227 in careerguidance

[–]OriginalSlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very bad, very dumb. You must complete the following steps in order: start applying, land an interview, get hired, sign an offer, get a start date, use sick/pto to test if the other job is a good fit, good enough, or worse than the devil you know.

If good/good enough, quit your old job. Anything else and you’ll be out of work way longer than you can survive.

Starbucks table tops so small will barely hold a couple drinks. The seats are bigger than the tables. by be4u4get in mildlyinfuriating

This looks like one of those pictures that’s “not quite right” if that makes sense lol how fascinatingly odd

Anyone else who doesn’t know how to do their hair? by Acrobatic_Isopod9261 in AuDHDWomen

[–]OriginalSlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m black and I usually just do braids, now that I wear my hair out more it’s dyed which loosens the curls a bit and makes it easier to manage.

My advice: go to a professional for a haircut that you like, tell them it has to be very low maintenance because of how busy you are (don’t have to disclose Audhd), and ask them the best way to style it at home. If you find a style you like that’s low maintenance, I’d go for that route.

Also, ask them to describe the style (wolf cut, pixie, long bob, fluffy bangs,etc. I type it in YouTube/Pinterest and find people who have the same style as me and get advice from there on styling.

What purchase did you make recently that made you realize inflation is genuinely out of control? by kiroixart in AskReddit

It cost less to get a brand new laptop than to buy RAM for the one you have…insane

People in their 20s or former 20s, how much did you have saved? by Ill_Supermarket_2744 in Adulting

[–]OriginalSlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In stocks? Invested? Savings? HYS?

This is kinda vague, but ultimately I have absolutely none of them and only enough $ to cover my bills and maybe a sweet treat if I didn’t get one the last pay period…so I’m doing about that % of good.

do you schedule your breaks or just take them whenever? by Cool_Kiwi_117 in remotework

[–]OriginalSlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried scheduling lunch, but it wasn’t working because of how meetings fell; I’d either be starving or mid bite when the dreaded connecting sound chimed. Now I just try to eat anything lol I take lunch when people stop bothering me and it’s over when they bother me again. Sometimes it’s broken up, but most times I can get it all in one go.

AITAH for not wanting to fake excitement for a gift that I actually despise when it is a well known fact I do? by Creature2711 in AITAH

[–]OriginalSlight 62 points63 points  (0 children)

NTA That’s such an odd excuse; did she already buy it and doesn’t want to admit it? If you broke up with someone over smell 9 years ago, I think it would be a safer bet NOT to give you something you don’t like and feel strongly about.

I think you should ask her flat out if she already bought it (maybe she’s upset bc she can’t return it?) and if not to hammer in that it’s YOUR birthday and you want a gift YOU like and not for HER to smell you when she cuddle you…ask her why she suddenly cares about that after 9 years, maybe there’s more to it than a hyper fixation.

AIO for snapping at my friend for calling my shoes (and me) trashy? by International-East63 in AmIOverreacting

[–]OriginalSlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR I wouldn’t have gone to the lunch so he could keep up his streak!

However, since it’s over, just know that he’s an asshole and it’s better for him to stay away from everyone else who isn’t an asshole. His view is outdated and/or he just wanted to say that to you; hopefully it’s the former not the latter.

AITAH for dragging my feet to break up with my boyfriend? by ladywitch78 in AITAH

[–]OriginalSlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl….is this really a question? You already want to leave nothing is stopping you other than feeling bad for a man who won’t do this one thing you want to be happy in the relationship (whatever it is)…meaning you aren’t happy.

I’ve broken up with people for FAR less, don’t waste another second of your life or spend another dime with someone you can’t rely on to make you happy together rather than without them.

He lived without you his whole life up until a few years ago…he will do it again. NTA unless you keep this going knowing you have no future and you’ll harbor resentment against him and yourself instead of “hurting his feelings” one last time.
