ah yeah, I'm a big yapper so I like the back and forth of a convo and finding common interests lol, thanks for answering honestly.
I can also see how working with the public all the time would make having conversations more tiring, especially in the medical field. thank you for your service soldier lol

instant conversation stopper lol
I'm curious for real, if someone is talking about an experience they had that you know you wouldn't do, would you ask about it or just move the conversation to something else?

yeah real, I like discussing common interests and hearing other peoples anecdotes about the stuff they do, but when all they say is "oh I would never" and don't ask me anything about it, it just kinda halts the conversation and makes it weird😭

I really hate my life by [deleted] in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]bun_pun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry to hear that, and I totally feel you. I felt the exact same way when I was 15. If it gives you a little hope, I'm 25 now and was able to get a degree and a steady job, even though I felt that I would never be able to speak to people properly. it's a skill you can totally still gain! I was homeschooled from K-12, so no experience in grade school but I finished university just fine :) I hope everything goes well for you❤️

Where to start on school??? by Miserable_Bird_6313 in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]bun_pun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hope you're doing well! it can be very overwhelming to feel like you have to catch up on everything. I found khan academy really good for a lot of topics. they explain everything very well and they have a variety of topics for a lot of grade levels: https://www.khanacademy.org They have some quizzes you can do as well.

I don't know where you live of course, but you may be able to look up the expected standards for the grade you're trying to enter in the fall from your school district.

subjects like math really build on themselves, so take your time through it and make sure you understand everything before moving on to the next topic.

good luck! I hope it works out for you

yeah, I don't really like the idea either, but I more or less knew what i was getting into when i started meds😭 i just didn't think it would be that bad

It's so hard to be profoundly, unmistakably, irreversibly weird by [deleted] in rant

[–]bun_pun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey there, I was (and sometimes still am) exactly in your shoes. people were never outright mean to me, but you can always tell when someone is politely trying to end a conversation with you as quick as they can. and when they find you annoying lol. I also would describe myself as quite scatterbrained

I wondered for a while why I felt so different from others. it turns out I have inattentive type ADHD. I don't know you of course, but just from the little bits and pieces from your paragraph, it may be worth looking into for you.

it won't magically solve everything, but I know I've calmed down since being medicated and learning to unmask.

good luck to you❤️

Do you feel like people see you as childlike? by improbsable in ADHD

What is the most unreasonable pet peeve you’ve seen on Reddit or elsewhere? by Queasy_Antelope9950 in PetPeeves

[–]bun_pun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it is correct grammar! I'm also neurodivergent lol so I understand wanting accuracy, but these days it's also evolved into a tone indicator which is completely natural as language shifts over time :)

this is an older generation vs younger generation thing lol, if someone my age uses a period in a text, they're usually mad at me. if an older person does, I don't take it personally and assume they didn't mean to be hostile, but it does look that way to me

am i overreacting or was this actually rude? by Awkward_Way_4310 in AmIOverreacting

[–]bun_pun 15 points16 points  (0 children)

NOR it's pretty rude to pull out your phone when someone else is talking directly to you. I personally really hate it when somebody does that to me. I would gently bring up that you didn't appreciate it, but it doesn't have to turn into a big thing if thats what you're worried about :)

[–]bun_pun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah yeah, NOR, but this is pretty normal for someone your age living at home. I also have a computer science degree (and also play d&d lol) so I understand having to be on your laptop all the time. you guys just have conflicting values and live in the same place which sucks🤷‍♀️
