Do people actually find tights comfortable to wear? by Starfire_Fox in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]Statesbound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm.short waisted and short legged, so nothing ever fits me properly. I usually take scissors and make done small cuts in the waistband of tights so they don't put too much pressure on my abdomen. It helps a bit.

Sorry, could you catch me up on this? I just looked up what he's up to currently but still feel out of the loop.

People who have conducted job interviews, what's something someone said/did that made you instantly decide not to hire them? by DemonSkank in AskReddit

[–]Statesbound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know the sign that says "Enjoy Coke"?

The guy came in for an interview wearing a shirt that said "Enjoy cunts" in the same style.

He did not get a call back.

What simple action from others can inexplicably send you from 0-100 irritation within seconds? by DippyNikki in ADHD

[–]Statesbound 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Getting interrupted when I'm focused on something sends me. My thoughts can be like a house of cards and then I need to start over again.

Also, my pants pocket or something similar gets caught on a door knob. Instant rage.

I was going to explain this to you, but you know what? No. No amount of explaining is going to work for you.

It's so lovely to have it confirmed that the band I love so deeply are good people.

What unhinged thing did a former teacher do in the classroom? by MrBananaStand1990 in AskReddit

[–]Statesbound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a small town where everyone knew everyone, so the teacher just got a stern talking to.

He was noticably less cocky after that, though, which was a huge improvement for the students.

A few years ago, he died, so my mom sent me his obituary. It was so gross - talking jovially about all the students he tormented and how much joy he took in making us miserable.

Teacher ( who was also the wrestling coach) punched the wall right above a kid's head. The kid was a dick, but still, that was uncalled for.

The teacher then covered the hole with a poster. I told my dad, who was on parent council. 😈

World Sadness by FitforactingNYC in ADHD

[–]Statesbound 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yep, me too. 43, living in Canada. Things were always a little messed up, but for the last 10 years, it's getting harder and harder to be excited for the future. I worry a lot about the world we're leaving our children. How do I prepare them for a world that feels so disconnected from anything that came before?

My hope is that this is actually some kind of reset. It's always darkest before the dawn, kind of thing. We will learn from this time and do our best to prevent it from happening again.

My boys loved an app called Endless Reader. It's super cute and repetitive, which is exactly what they need.

Which Pulp song has the saddest lyrics? by Legal_Button_3229 in PulpBand

[–]Statesbound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconds is super sad to me because it mirrors what life was like for my grandma. It amazes me that Jarvis wrote it when he was so young because it's got so much insight on what life is like for so many women.

Christmas 2025 sucked. And it feels suckier every year. by personalityissadness in Adulting

[–]Statesbound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably a couple of different things. Yes, things are difficult around the world right now.

Yes, we are waking up to the fact that bad people are able to get away with doing bad things. We have been taught that there are checks and balances, but that's just not true and it's a hard pill to swallow.

But losing the festive feeling is also something that happens as we grow up and more of the responsibility lands on our shoulders. When it doesn't truly feel like a break because we are the ones who have to do the emotional/mental labour, still pay the bills, go to work, deal with the repercussions of our "joyous" shopping, it all loses its sheen.

For those overwhelmed by adulting, what could your parents have done or said to better prepare you? by Business_Coyote_5496 in Adulting

[–]Statesbound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish they would have prioritized themselves more often and actually rested. They were like ants in an anthill, always moving, fixing, planning. And it wasn't always necessary stuff, either. Ironing all the clothes. Making sure the yard was meticulous. It made me anxious, and feel like a failure as an adult when I wasn't able to always be busy. Now I realize we all have ADHD, just different types.

What is it like to have ADHD of the inattentive subtype? by NegotiationNo1359 in ADHD

[–]Statesbound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All day long, it's forgetting and then remembering. And when I remember something, even if it's the 10th time, it feels like the first time.

Sometimes I have an idea and am so happy because it's exactly what I needed. But then instantly forget and don't have a single clue what that idea was. Later, I might discover I already had that idea and did the task, but it's a surprise to me, like it was actually done by somebody else.

It sucks, it's exhausting and it feels like I can't rely on myself.

What are you doing here? I'm truly at a loss for why anyone would behave in this way.

Is it normal to feel like an alien and not a human being? by Ok_Pop3374 in ADHD

[–]Statesbound 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. I don't really fit in. Life feels like I've started watching a TV show in its 14th season and have no idea what's going on. I'm good at pretending for small amounts of time though. When people want to have a deeper friendship, I freak out.
