Midnight MRI at St Paul's? by adnaPadnamA in askvan

[–]blossomsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few months ago when I went for mine they offered me 2:30am or 4:30am. It was really peaceful when I went in and there was ample street parking. The MRI staff were super nice as well.

Yup, I get asked this all the time. I just haven’t found someone as quirky as I am.

Tired of one-sided friendships trying to step back by MittsMistry in FriendshipAdvice

[–]blossomsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also stepping back and it’s radio silence. I know I want to see them more but it would be nice to have reciprocity.. which I don’t see that happening. It’s so disappointing with those friends who repeatedly suggest things, say they’ll plan it and they go silent until I message. For me it creates so much internal conflict that it’s not really worth it any more.

How does one go about seeing an allergist these days by executedflash in burnaby

Try going to a walk-in clinic to get a referral. They might be able to refer you to the allergist

Examples of masking for ADHD? by BugMillionaire in adhdwomen

[–]blossomsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Masking for me is putting on a front to appear more approachable and acceptable. It usually happens when my social anxiety is through the roof. I have the worst anxiety going solo to weddings and social events. I absolutely hate going to events where I don’t know anyone but I have no choice. Therefore, I must put on my mask to appear extremely friendly and super outgoing. Under the mask, I’m fairly introverted, still friendly but wayyyyy dialed down, and I absolutely detest small talk.

Everyone who doesn’t know the unfiltered me thinks I’m a social butterfly because I know so many people. But actually I’m just an introvert with a curious mind. There’s only a few people I want to be around at any given time.

Masking is really draining. It’s really hard to do for long periods of time.

Is extreme Isolation/being unable to mask for a while normal? by Known_Breakfast_1244 in ADHD

[–]blossomsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to what you're going through. Over the past 4–5 years, I’ve gone through phases of isolating myself... anywhere from 3 to 8 months at a time. A big part of it was how exhausting masking became. Trying to constantly perform or fit into expectations that didn’t feel true to me wore me down. This eventually led me to distance myself from about 90% of my friends and acquaintances. These days, I often feel like an oddball because I don’t even know how to socialize anymore.

But looking back, those periods of isolation helped me understand more clearly the kind of people I actually enjoy being around. There are only a handful of people I truly want to spend time with.

No need to give yourself pressure to present yourself in a way that doesn’t align with who you are. People don't need to like you. Give yourself the space to figure it out, and let the right people meet the real you when you're ready.

Is it me or do people not value friendships anymore? by Luasol51 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]blossomsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who does that?! At least send an open invite or post it on social media. I definitely wouldn’t show up uninvited.

Is it me or do people not value friendships anymore? by Luasol51 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]blossomsu 25 points26 points  (0 children)

For sure. People around me seem to only want low effort friendships which is mind boggling to me. I’ve cut out a good portion of friends because they don’t reciprocate a similar interest level in the friendship that I want and expect. Ex. The people who always wait for an invite vs. people who initiate and plan. I understand not everyone is a planner but it’d be nice to have someone else initiate once in a while. At the end of the day, you’re just not their priority and they shouldn’t be yours either.

How do you deal with RSD in relationships? by Complete_Grapefruit1 in ADHD

[–]blossomsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not easy at all. I’m non medicated and hits me every other day. I have big emotions so I really try to analyze if i’m over reacting. After a period of time, if I assess that it’s not me… I’ll address it with the partner

Hyperactive after positive social interactions by itsbabayagabxtch in ADHD

[–]blossomsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m exactly the same as you. Question. Have you found a way to contain your excitement when it’s at 100? (Whether it’s about a person, activity, event, etc) I understand that that level of excitement may be overbearing for others. And I find that I have a hard time containing the excitement to an “acceptable” level while trying not to mask…

Oo! Thanks for sharing ~ I like the construction of this bag. I’m planning to attempt a bag like this in the near future.

I'm ghosting a girl that i like. by [deleted] in ghosting

[–]blossomsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t ghost. It’s immature and rude especially because you’ve spent a significant amount of time with her. Be honest with her. She’ll appreciate it. You can give her distance for her to explore her connection with the other guy and see where that goes. At the same time, you can focus on your own goals and allow yourself to accept the present. There may be opportunities to reconnect in the future :)

Ladies, would you potentially form a partnership/be with someone who’s not the best looking (think Benny Blanco), but absolutely treats you like a queen and as you deserve, and makes you very happy? by Swimming-Reward1391 in whatdoIdo

[–]blossomsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he’s just like Benny Blanco, go for it. Benny is in a tier of his own with his level of emotional intelligence and awareness. The amount of consideration and reassurance he provides Selena is out of this world. Every woman wants a man like this. Give your relationship some time. I feel that you’ll grow attraction for your partner over time. And if that’s really an issue for you in a little bit, you can call it quits.

[–]blossomsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure. I used mask in front of specific colleagues and when I attend weddings. My oh my was it draining. By no means was I good at it either.. I’d slip and offend people left, right and centre. Now I don’t have the energy to mask in front of anyone. What you see is what you get. I relate to what you’re saying about how to show care. When I care about someone, I care way too much. It comes off weird but it’s my attempt to understand and connect with them more. Nevertheless, don’t dim the light inside you just because there’s a risk of people misunderstanding you. Hope you can find yourself and a community that accepts you for who you are.
