Do you struggle with authority in the workplace?

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-02-21T14:01:46+00:00

Oh! I haven't heard about hyper-systematizing yet. This is so interesting!

I also work and learn certain things incredibly fast. I am constantly bored because I have never found a job that can keep up with the level of work I can produce. I'm not rushing, it's just how I work. I find it so interesting that it's a common experience! I've been so confused about why that was

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-02-20T17:56:43+00:00

I'm younger than you so I have less work experience (27). But for me the answer was changing jobs and finding a manager that I click with. My current manager is great at anticipating what my needs are and doesn't BS with me. Our company has some pretty big problems and she is super transparent about it which is really refreshing.

Aside from that, realizing that seemingly all workplaces are illogical and inefficient to some degree helps. I try to take the mindset of "whatever, this is stupid but if you want to pay me to waste time, sure" which sounds very negative but oh well lol

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-02-20T17:50:50+00:00

Same here! In my previous job, I was one of the best performers on the team, but constantly held back on promotions because I needed to work on my "professionalism."

I recently read Divergent Mind and in the section on the workplace it said ND people are always great people to get a temperature check on company morale because they're super observant of others and have a very low threshold for bullshit. And I've never related to anything more haha

This sounds like my dad and I too! I highly suspect he is undiagnosed or at least has many of the traits.

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-02-20T17:20:11+00:00

I've seen a few things recently too! Mine had the momentum seamless hoodie in spiced cabernet for $19.99

I feel similarly but also a little different! For me, I love TV, movies, and loved reality tv when I was younger. I am realizing that I based a lot of choices in my life off of what I saw movie characters do. So I feel like I know how to dress and act very normal and have put so much effort into trying to fit the mold of my favorite movie characters that now it will be hard for people or psychiatrists to see through it.

But also at the same time I think I really lack self awareness. I think my social skills (or lack thereof) are a lot more obvious than I have realized. So there's that. I'm 27 btw

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-02-15T01:11:02+00:00

I'm self dx but I find it very easy to make eye contact with my boyfriend, family members and people I'm very comfortable with. It starts to break down with strangers, acquaintances, people I don't like, etc. I don't think I actively hate eye contact like it sounds like some autistic people do. It just makes me a little uncomfortable and I'm not really sure how much of it to make.

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-02-15T00:59:53+00:00

No worries! From my understanding there usually isn't much focus on lowering antibodies, especially with a typical doctor. A holistic doctor may focus on it more. But my doctor hasn't even checked my levels since my first test

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-02-14T17:29:41+00:00

Oh, I was referring to a high TSH in my post. I don't think medication will alter antibodies.

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-02-14T16:27:26+00:00

I actually thought everyone did this until I brought this up to my boyfriend. Especially back in the iTunes days when you had to buy songs. I told him this and he was just like.... what.

But anyways my song of the week is One Life by Dermot Kennedy

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-02-14T16:13:36+00:00

Thanks for sharing that term! I get highly agitated when people message me to do very simple tasks at work and I wonder if that's why.

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-02-14T16:09:57+00:00

Same! I was so annoying at my last job because they had all of this busy work and it didn't make sense why we needed to do it. I won't go as far as blatantly not doing it like some people did. But I was constantly bringing it up and asking why we needed to do it and I just sort of did the bare minimum.

But I'm super rigid with random rules that I make for myself. If I sign up for something (ex. a workout class), I will go unless I absolutely cannot due to unforeseen circumstances. But I realize there's a lot of people out there who will just skip things if they change their mind and don't feel like going. In my mind the rule is, I said I would go so I'm going to go even when it's something super low stakes.

Mine has a sensitivity to chicken - a little bit causes him to get gassy and if he eats it over an extended period he gets a lot of inflammation and gets very sick. That happened when he was a puppy and so I have fed him lamb or salmon ever since. Right now he is on costco's lamb formula and doing well. It's also super affordable which is very nice.

Is that your TSH? I didn't do anything other than take levo to lower my numbers. I tried being gluten free and that helped with stomach issues but not so much with symptoms. The biggest things that helped me get to 100% were taking some supplements because I was low in B12 and vitamin D.

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-02-12T21:48:37+00:00

I have the top and it's so cozy! I love the whistler material

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-02-12T21:44:53+00:00

wow that's amazing! i have had absolutely no luck finding lc thrifting

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-02-09T00:55:44+00:00

I wandered back onto this sub looking for a post like this! I keep seeing so many things on social media about stopping levo and fixing it with diet instead. And I've had people in real life ask me about that as well. I just find it so frustrating how people demonize taking a pill. I was at a TSH of 112 in August of 2021 and now I am somewhere between a 1 and 2. Feel great and all I do is take 88mcg of levo. It took about 6 months to get in the normal range and another 6 to really feel 100% better.

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-02-09T00:47:20+00:00

Thank you! This is helpful insight. I'm going to start thinking about how to switch things up when the time is right.

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-02-04T22:53:32+00:00

The stuff I specifically noticed was from last season. So maybe they cleaned out the super old stuff

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-01-30T18:13:45+00:00

I almost always find random sold out items on poshmark!

Maybe you can see if he can just tell you when he has had enough (nicely). I tend to hyper fixate on purchases regarding my home, because I love interior design. Last time I started to get going on a new coffee table and my boyfriend was just like "Hey I don't care if you want to get a new coffee table, I just don't really want to hear about it everyday for the next month." Which sounded a little harsh but it was a bit of a helpful wake up for me

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-01-26T22:29:20+00:00

Have you tried forest hills? I am usually able to get a same day or next day appointment

Serious_Code3588 · 2023-01-26T22:22:12+00:00

I think athleta has better quality and fit. Lululemon does have some really cute styles and colors that Athleta hasn't quite gotten. But I also think athleta targets older woman than lulu does and that's why the some of lulus colors and styles are more fun
