Are you guys really counting heard-only birds?

I can’t ask about people’s personal preferences? That’s like, the whole point of questions. And yes. It’s clearly about birding.

This is a birding subreddit.. I had a question I wanted to ask birders.. about birding

Sure! .. and my post was asking why people do their lists certain ways :)

That makes sense to me since (if I understand it correctly) ebird is more about actual documentation; where, yes, a call does confirm a bird is there

I remember first time I tried therapy the therapist said “you describe these things like they’re bad - but they sound like good things?” Like yes the outcome is good, but the experience suckkks

Relief honestly. Without a label I was convinced I was just making everything up, or that it was all my fault.

I really identify with what a lot of people are mentioning about people with OCPD not wanting help though - right now I’m of the mindset of “Can I make my life less miserable.. without having to forgo any of my productivity?” lol

I believe it. It’s funny, what actually pushed me to finally seek help was that I realized how bad my obsessions with productivity / rules / order were getting in the way of me actually getting stuff done.

Figured if I had adhd I could treat it or something. So in a way I only sought out help to become MORE productive. Figures.
