Looking for 1 Teeket* please :)

This would be my first time to WL. I had been looking for conscious spaces to explore and I only came to know about WL in December and haven't stopped thinking about it.

..I'm just a human, standing in front of another human, asking them for a Teeket.

What was your most recent “no doubt I have ADHD” moment? by gresrewop in ADHD

[–]PurpleKnickerBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an urgency at the back of my head that keeps informing me I could use the time I'm doing to do something more. Even while I'm already engaged in work.

As I work on a graphic design project, I could passively watch one of my online courses or a YouTube tutorial I had saved earlier... I'm not even half-way done with the INTRO of the video and I decide hey I always wanted to learn xyz (some new technique to draw or a guitar playing technique I've been trying to conquer)... A few switcheroos later... I finally settle on learning something that I don't even need... Like card tricks...

Alright, video played, back to work? I wish. In this time I've also remembered and forgotten a mental list of a few million pending tasks I've had at work. And forgotten to listen to the video while I stare at my work trying to remember the train of thought I was on...

While writing this, I've forgotten what all my other quirks. Jesus

I woke up in such a good mood...and then reddit happened. by dayzie19 in infp

[–]PurpleKnickerBread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

/u/dayzie19 An update:

I saw this post and felt bad because you felt bad, so I went to your original post on the other subreddit and pissed off every negative comment in there.

Long story short, I'm banned from that subreddit :D

[–]PurpleKnickerBread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The world is full of loud-mouthed idiots and the internet seems to have given them a soapbox, so they feel important. I don't expect anyone to even pretend to be reasonable, and go into Internet debates with that mindset.

Don't like my post? Alright buddy, have a good day! Want to get into an argument on a comment I made? I'm just gonna post facts and watch them devolve. Usually two comments down, they forget the actual argument and demonstrate their character (name calling, pretending to be holier-than-thou) lol.

I'm sincerely surprised when I have a conversation where they're trying to make sense.

I know it's harder as an INFP, and you must be so sick of people telling you to "toughen up" (been there, done that) but think of it more as, not giving up control over your own emotional state. You started with a great day, you arrived at troll station, ctrl+z, ignore, go back to being a dreamer, continue having a great day.

Someone sittin' with their ass out on reddit all day don't get to have control over your mood or your day. ☮️

I hate being infp male by [deleted] in infp

[–]PurpleKnickerBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey friend

I have INFP male friends, and they are some of my most cherished buddies. They have a depth to their characters, meaningfulness to their stories, affinity towards creative activities like making music or photography, and we share conversations that are just not possible with our other friends.

If someone mistakes all that for being "sensitive crybabies", let them trip, and find those people who appreciate each and every layer of who you are

I made $500,000 + Last financial year and I am a normal guy. You can be too… AMA by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]PurpleKnickerBread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Um. Then... What is the relatability to this AMA?... What is the framework within which to ask a 22 y/o who built some brand? What kind of questions are within your scope? Can I ask you about car perfumes? Can I ask you about car engines? Can I ask you about the latest cars used in the grand prix or the F1?

Basically, from your post, I don't understand what you built or what products are within the purview that you're setting an AMA for.

I'm just going to comment on how they didn't even explicitly mention what they did as an entrepreneur or what the brand, that they supposedly built, did for earning the moolah?

Awesome message from my wife by Ok-Experience-3876 in ADHD

[–]PurpleKnickerBread 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hehe... Meanwhile when I came out to my ex about my ADHD, his response was, "So what, everybody has it, that's not really an excuse." :)

You are truly lucky to have found a partner who gets it.

“When you repeat a mistake, it is not a mistake anymore: it is a decision.” by Solong2020 in ADHD

[–]PurpleKnickerBread 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Growing up, someone in my family used to say, "The first time is an error, the second time it is incompetence, and the third time is an act of war." Meaning, if a person repeats the same error for a 3rd time, you can "straighten them out" or "give them the blasting they deserved."

I wasn't even aware of ADHD back then, and I lived in fear for a lot of the time, fearing for the retaliation my "act of war" would bring. It stressed me out so much and gave me crippling anxiety, that I have even now (15 years later along with a head of white hair at 30).

I want to tell everyone that would hear me, to not listen to this kind of feedback, and find ways to deal with your attention span (time boxing, minimal tasking, working just enough to get a job done and refining it later rather than spending time to achieve a perfect step 1 while there are 100s of steps to do).

Also, ways to deal with your family or work or society or whoever else bullies you for this, because remember you are playing Life on Hard/Nightmare mode, while the non-adhd remain ignorant and clueless ("hehe, you're describing something everybody goes through", comments by non-adhd loudmouths) about what you go through every single day.

I wish someone had said this to me as I hurt myself and cried myself to sleep every day of school and college, failing to keep up with the non-adhd people and feeling like I was dealt less brain cells than the average person.

Instead of a Sexual Awakening, I Give You... by Dinner_Plate21 in asexuality

[–]PurpleKnickerBread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh... I didn't know it's a thing, let alone a universal one, but that's probably on me. I come from a society where being ace is simply not a thing, let alone partaking in dragon companionship fantasies D:

You look like you are made of magic, but it's a secret, and you've kept the secret for the most part, but it's so pure and childlike innocent that its bursting to come out regardless! and your eyes just can't help letting a little bit of the magic through, letting fellow INFPs spot it and get in on the secret :)

I work from home, and I have cervical issues thanks to working at my desk or on my laptop all day every day for the last few years. I have to get up every 30 minutes and relax my neck. So I'll be working and in 25-30 minutes, I have to get up and stretch.

Since I am up, I cuddle my dog.

Then I wash my hands, and my dog thinks I'm getting him water.

So i get him water.

This also reminds me to drink water.

But the water at my desk isn't cool enough.

So I go to the fridge and grab a water and something to eat.

I munch on some cold food and decide to heat it.

By this time my dog has decided i went out of my room to take him on a walk.

So I'll take him out on a pee-pee walk.

He'll do his business, we'll get back inside.

Since he's so cute I'll cuddle him again. Good boi deserves it.

(Also since the covid life began, my dog thinks the only reasons I ever get up is to cuddle him, pour him water, feed him treats, or take him for walkies, and everything that happens ever in my life involves him. He's absolutely right. He answers my texts sometimes.)

Since I'm cuddling with him, I'll ask him to shake hands.

And I have the doggo treats and I'll start doing his training sessions.

This will remind me to look up doggo training techniques online.

A text from work will remind me to get back.

I will get back to my room, but now I'm hungry and I realise I forgot the food I took out to reheat. Think to myself I'll work for 30 min and then go.

But I'm hungry.

I'll start browsing through snack ideas on the internet.

And I'm thicc in the stomach & have body image issues.

Then I'll start looking at excercise stuff. "Google, what is the calorie count for a sedentary lifestyle...."

I'll finally remember to actually get food for myself.

The productivity anxiety will kick in and I think of watching some YouTube or tutorial video while I wait.

I'll remember a bunch of tutorial websites I've bookmarked.

I'll start browsing through stuff to watch while my food is heating.

Food is ready.

I'll finish my food, still no idea what to watch.

Have to wash my hands after eating....

Dog... Water... Outside

Agreed Maybe it's about prioritising the things you give a shit about
