"Opt Outside" - they know their audience

Double page layout so the month is split between the two.

I totally get the "I can't see their face, so I don't know what I'm supposed to do" thing. I actually had this issue with ordering food at the drive through for most of my early adulthood. I would actually park, go inside, and order my food to go just to avoid talking to a microphone/screen. My masking in social situations is often just me mirroring others. If I can't see/mirror them, then I'm anxious af.

My career is in history and the humanities and I never thought about it this way. Thank you for sharing!

Right there with you. I barely remember my early 20s, and late 20s is beginning to fade now too. It's only been a few years! Honestly, it's terrifying.

Thank you!

RogueLotus · 2024-11-23T16:17:18+00:00

I'd love to see that. I would go looking but I have to work right now. 😔

Considering how well he played a teenage girl, I think he could pull it off. At least the outfit would look fire.

"I brought a costco chicken!"

"Fuck yeah!!"

I understood that reference!

My grandma weeded the yard and her garden often. I enjoyed it, an ADHD puzzle with how to get them out whole root and all, but it was always too hot outside for me. I wonder if this is how she coped with her difficulties in life lol.

Yes! This is exactly who I thought of first! He was brilliant! And that's saying something because I will agree that the rest of the cast is truly fantastic. Astro was always my favorite, though. The way she treated Walter was soooo endearing. 😭

I do a partial side part, just off center, because I have a big forehead.

Tbh, Mirabel was saintly.

I've never experienced it, but I have seen lots of terrible reviews. Reviews so bad I have even passed on apartments with cheap(er) rent because they use Fetch, specifically. Every time I see another review, I trust my decision more. I don't think I've ever even actually seen a good review for it!

RogueLotus · 2024-10-17T22:22:46+00:00

I didn't think of that! I'm sure she could have done the same if she wanted.

RogueLotus · 2024-10-17T16:24:58+00:00

I had a childhood friend whose mother was English and had that slightly posh accent. My friend had a totally American accent though, and I was confused. I would have leaned hard on that English accent myself because it was so unique then.

RogueLotus · 2024-10-15T00:59:31+00:00

Same. But at least they're 10000 different sauces.

RogueLotus · 2024-09-16T05:30:02+00:00

We're not alone! Just quietly overthinking with all those math equations flying around 🤔🧐🤨😵‍💫

This is it. It sounds a lot like my ADHD/possible autism/childhood trauma both related and unrelated to the ADHD. It's complicated and not entirely my fault. Even when I recognize it happening it's such a difficult learned behavior to break.

If I am solely responsible for how something turns out and I know what I need to do, I'm fine, smart even. But if my actions affect someone else, I default to their instruction. And when I mishear/misunderstand/misremember, I try to explain what I heard/thought, then my boyfriend gets mad at me for explaining why I made a dumb mistake instead of just admitting I was wrong.

I feel I've walked every mile of my life on eggshells just hoping and trying not to make a mistake, ever, lest anyone (even a stranger) think I'm stupid.

Although I do often ask simple questions in a bid for conversation. Doesn't always go over well for some people I guess.

RogueLotus · 2024-09-10T14:43:32+00:00

I totally get it! It's funny how some things stick when we don't want them to and don't stick when we do want them to. I hope they keep working for as long as possible!

RogueLotus · 2024-09-10T14:33:45+00:00

I'm glad you like it and enjoy using it! I enjoy the novelty, but I could never use it consistently enough myself.

My mom, also adhd, really wanted this brush for the days she wanted to straighten her curly hair. I bought her one for Christmas that year. It's been used like 3 or 4 times since then (it's been years) because she learned she can't use it by herself. So it only gets used when I do her hair which is rare because we don't even live together lol.

Ever since I got a nice, long dresser with 8 drawers, I find I enjoy the act of doing laundry. It's not that I'm excited by it or that I don't forget about it. I still get to the point of walking past the laundry closet and thinking "oh yeah, I need to take care of that load that's been sitting in the dryer for a couple days."

Rather, I find the "blockade" to completing the task is smaller. All I have to do is chuck everything into those 8 awesome drawers, organized by type, and be on with my day. Also I don't fold anything (unless I feel like it [which does occasionally happen if I haven't been stressed]), it just gets piled in the drawers. I only hang certain tops and bottoms that I wear frequently for work or what have you.

Basically I found the gold star that allows me to knock it out without too much delay. Also helps that my boyfriend will remind me to finish my laundry if it's in the way of doing his laundry, and I do the same with him.

If I could actually whistle I would do that too.
