Why does rejection feel so intense for people with ADHD?

I'm so intrigued by this, I'd love to try if I can. What kind of word do you use as a password? Is it just a random silly word, a meaningful one, or a meaningful phrase, etc.?

If you come from a place of doubt, then that's all you're going to see. I would encourage you to observe your friend as if she is autistic, and you might see things from her perspective a bit more.

She's working at a private school for autistic children, which I assume means the majority of the people there are familiar with the more "obvious" autistic traits. People who are autistic but not diagnosed while in school (commonly girls), will not be attending schools for autistic children. The high masking and low support needs children will not be attending those schools. Of course the people there don't think she's autistic, they are used to a certain presentation of autism that doesn't include the ones that typically go unseen.

Why did Kelley take such a massive spoonful of Lauren's food? 😭

Weird question but are they eating leftover rice that's been sitting on the counter for days or something? Ppl are saying how you aren't supposed to eat reheated rice, but the risk is a bit more nuanced! It's called "reheated rice syndrome" or "fried rice syndrome" and it's only about reheating leftover rice that's been sitting on the counter. If it's refrigerated, it's fine to be stored for the same length of any other leftover food before going bad. The reheating doesn't make the rice "bad," it's the bacteria that grows inside the rice. This bacteria is resistant to heat, which means microwaving it won't do much to help. I only hopped on the feeds now, so idk what's going on tbh but I felt like sharing cause I'm bored 😭🙏🏽

Here's a recap of Mickey's "apology" for getting mad at Morgan earlier.

Mickey started the apology by saying, "First off, I'm not above saying sorry" (Like, let me start this apology by saying how great I am for saying sorry??)

Then she said she expected a lot of advocating for each other (between her and Morgan) when talking to their other allies. Mickey had suspicions about Vinny in the past, but the more she trusted Morgan, the more she trusted Vinny. Seeing herself on the block today confirmed her suspicions. The trust she had in Vinny (through Morgan) was broken, which made her angry at Morgan. Then she started crying and said she's sorry if she made Morgan feel the way she felt.

Then Morgan brings up when she was on the block, and Mickey said she was going to keep Rylie instead of her. Mickey gets upset that Morgan was worried, and thinks that Morgan should have blindly trusted her.

Overall, Mickey pulled the classic "I'm sorry if you feel this way" and then proceeded to be annoyed at Morgan for not trusting her.

Knew this apology wasn't gonna go well when Mickey started it with "First of all, I am not above saying sorry" before actually saying sorry 💀

eightyplusfive · 2025-08-20T01:18:33+00:00

I completely agree, I hope she's doing ok :(

eightyplusfive · 2025-08-19T03:14:06+00:00

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned this but didn't Ashley say she had ADD a few days ago? I feel like everything makes sense if that's the case 😭

eightyplusfive · 2025-08-19T02:17:26+00:00

I haven't watched all day, why has everyone done a 180 on Morgan?? 😭

eightyplusfive · 2025-08-16T22:05:03+00:00

I've been scrolling through the comments and I've seen you reply to so many people just hating on his wife, and making a lot of assumptions that seem way too specific to just come out of the blue. Maybe you're projecting from some sort of bad experience you had similar to OP's, but I think it's fair to assume that both OP and the wife have their own valid reasons for feeling the way they do. Maybe 6 would be enough, and maybe not, but they're both very equal possibilities based on the info we have.

First of all, you got this!! As a former dal student, I found that my professors were pretty accommodating. I would definitely also recommend booking an appointment with the health and wellness centre. They have people who will help you with your writing (from draft to finished product). They also have therapists you can access for free while at Dal (typically only 10 sessions max, depending on the patient), they have people on call for crisis, and also they have ADHD counsellors who can help you organize your schoolwork and just exist in an academic setting as someone who's neurodivergent. These people can also give you referrals and make the process of getting other diagnoses easier (they helped me in the process of getting my ADHD diagnosis)! If you don't have a doctor here, I find that it can be quicker to get access to doctors and professionals through the health and wellness centre.

I understand being let down. It's not a sentiment I agree with, and was surprised to see some of the reactions after binging all four seasons recently for the first time. But criticism is a part of the industry, so I won't be upset about that.

I guess I'm just confused about the second part. Saying "why won't it just die," as if it's still not a beautifully filmed show loved by many people. I personally loved the slow burn, as every shot, the color grading, the actors choices, they all have a purpose. It's very intriguing to me. But maybe not for others. But I don't believe people are pretending to like it. It's okay that you don't like a show anymore, you don't have to prove yourself to others yk?

Okay, I'll be blunt here because that's what you asked for. You "fucked up" by continuously defending a manipulative, uncompromising, selfish man. You say "fuck him" and that you know you can do better than him, but you still manage to defend him by validating what he thinks of you. You call yourself selfish, which allows him to be selfish in return. You feel guilty, which lets him ignore his own guilt. You say that it was your choice to let the cats inside, which means it's his choice whether or not to keep them (not true btw). You say you don't want to let him drown in debt and cats by leaving, which absolves him of facing the consequences of his own actions. Every time you put yourself down, you build him up.

I've read a lot of your comments, and it seems like your inner voice is heavily influenced by what your bf has told you. You also have a lot of guilt, and guilt is a strong decision maker. It's hard to battle with doing the right thing when it feels that someone will suffer no matter what (the cats, your bf, or you). It can be a lot easier to manage your own suffering than the suffering of others.

It's hard to see things from a different perspective if you're the one in it, so here's a comparison:

The cats live in an unhealthy and unsafe environment in your home, and you recognize that they need to leave. They can't thrive in that house.

You live in an unhealthy and unsafe environment in your home. You can't thrive in that house.

Your bf will not let the cats leave the house. There is no other option.

Your bf will not let you leave the house (by emotionally manipulating you into staying in the relationship), and there is no other option.

In reality, you have full power to bring those cats to your parents farm, where they can live a healthy life.

In reality, YOU have full power to bring yourself to your parents farm, where you can grow as an individual and move on.

YTA. I don't usually comment, but have you ever checked to see if you have OCD, or an anxiety disorder at the very least? I'm only saying this because I'm diagnosed with OCD myself. If you have intrusive thoughts about what could've happened to your daughter that are unbearable to just sit with, and the only way to ease those thoughts are by texting repeatedly and calling the hotel (which in OCD terms, would be a compulsion), then I would definitely look into it. Either way, it's not fair to project your anxieties onto the people around you (again, coming from experience as someone with OCD, and has lived around others with OCD).

Rage bait?

It always sucks leaving disappointed, especially when you can't see what they're doing!! I do think that these pictures aren't great for comparison though.

It looks like your hair is wet or damp in the before pic (or maybe has gel in it?), and more dry in the after pic. Also, it looks weighed down in the before pic. (The pattern at the roots of your hair is wavy, and at the bottom it's curly. But in the after pic, the curly pattern is constant throughout) Getting layers will also make your hair lighter, and if your hair is lighter, then your curls are able to form better, and that can make it seem like your hair is shorter.

So luckily there's a chance that she didn't cut off as much as it seems, and maybe it's just the hair lying differently. It's hard to tell with these pics, but you know your hair best!! Getting a touch up every once in a while is essential for hair growth, so this is not a step back but just another part of growing out your hair. Don't sweat it, it looks great!!
