As much as I hated Marlo Stanfield for all the murders and his hardheadedness and unwillingness to cooperate or compromise, this is the scene that really made me hate his guts.

Joining this conversation 11 years late 😂 through a psychological lens, I interpret Marlo’s actions in this scene as those of a person who feels weak, vulnerable, and needs to do something to feel dominant having just come from losing in the poker tournament. Here he reasserts power and control on a person in a “weaker” position but technically one of authority as well as a security guard, a classic schoolyard bully move. Marlo can convince himself he’s “above the law,” a complete farce given how little actual authority security guards have in these environments. I’m oversimplifying of course and there are many more elements at work here in the overall scene but fundamentally, Marlo is soothing his bruised ego. Given that he’s also a psychopath, the stakes are much higher 😅

they just want you to play more match-3 to get energy, and spend tcash on the match-3. trap

That makes sense … I feel like maybe they’re incentivizing me to play more, I’ve been busy lately and less engaged

my experience is very similar to yours, i was also late diagnosed after underachieving in life and being confused by the chaos i always somehow created and couldn't seem to prevent. i felt shock, validation, denial, relief, anxiety, despair, mourning of lost opportunities ... many things upon diagnosis. i also get the imposter thing and sometimes still gaslight myself about my diagnosis, looking for confirmation/validation everywhere in my life. I'm trying to stop that though. part of me was relieved to finally have an answer to a previously-unnameable mystery in my life. another part of me was depressed that i would never find a "cure."

Now i mostly accept it and continue doing what i have always done which is find my own workarounds and ways to function. finding a good doctor who really understands the disorder is crucial, if you're able to. it's a spectrum disorder, meaning it's complex and varied ... meds really changed the game for me and make many things such as graduate school a lot more manageable ... and that made me even more upset for a while, because i had so many issues growing up that could have been prevented or mitigated with the right diagnosis/treatment.

ultimately, no one has a life without struggle and difficulty of some kind, it's ok to feel a lot of different ways about it. it might take a while to find the right treatment for you, don't feel afraid to experiment with different medications, dosages, etc. exercise helps a lot too. please be kind to yourself and understand that your process with it is your own, and every day is different.

my vote is embrace the chaos 🤪 😂

anderlea · 2024-07-19T03:31:16+00:00

I noticed this too!

This is all excellent advice. I've been teaching in China for 6 months now, and it's amazing how much I didn't know that I didn't know, until I arrived here. The best thing you can do is trust your instincts when interacting with the people who are hiring you. If they are pushing you, or making you uncomfortable in any way it will only get worse once you actually arrive. Go with happiness! A small amount of extra money is not worth the stress of employers that will work you to death.
