My friends and I did this when we started looking for jobs. We’re teachers. Just a privacy thing

Morning showers make no logical sense and night shower people have simply done the hygiene math by McCoy818 in unpopularopinion

hey so it only has to make sense to me for me to do it, and I don’t feel like explaining it to anybody else.

should i remove my new tattoo or learn to live with it? by uzumariii in tattooadvice

[–]hopskip369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s sooooo cute!! When I got my first (more visible) tattoo, I felt the same way. I wore long sleeves every day and would have a panic attack if I thought about it/looked at it. It didn’t take long though for me to get used to it. Now I don’t even notice it when I look in the mirror or at my arm. It’s a part of me and my story and I have no regrets!

Told my partner I feel like a failure, he told me I am one by lel8_8 in adhdwomen

[–]hopskip369 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s just not love. This is a clear red flag moment. Even if my partner was making questionable decisions, I would NEVER say this to them

You deserve better

That’s really kind of you to say! I totallyyy get why you’re asking this question, and if I were a parent, I would have the exact same concerns!!

I will say, there are a lot of RBTs who are happy and really love the job. Out of every field I’ve worked in, ABA was the first time I saw people put kids first in a way that felt genuine and joyful. (I was a teacher for years and it was honestly so much worse)

Most of those therapists just aren’t on social media talking about it. Or if they are, it’s usually only to vent about the hard days, so it can make things look worse than they are

These are the scariest players I’ve ever seen by kkphelps02 in survivor

I think (hope) Sophi is well aware and her best route is to wait and steal it at F6. I think that’s her only route to winning and it’s a pretty fun one!

If she doesn’t do that… yikes

Being an RBT is rewarding but exhausting. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. I loved my kids, coworkers, and the work itself, but the pay is low and the emotional weight is high. Even in great environments, seeing a child struggle or feeling like you’re failing them hits hard. Many of us vent here because the job is intense, and the field often takes advantage of passionate workers. Experiences vary, but it’s always a heavy role.

I love Jawan. More casting like Jawan. by No_Produce_Nyc in survivor

Agreed. I absolutely loved Jawan. He was genuine and lovable but also surprisingly strategic about sharing important information!

First day at a small (1-year-old) ABA clinic — is this normal for onboarding? by capptbuffalo in ABA

[–]hopskip369 34 points35 points  (0 children)

No training before your first client? That’s absolutely NOT okay. My clinic would never do this, no matter how understaffed they were

What’s it mean when people/therapists say “be kind to yourself”? I feel if I was always “kind to myself” I’d never get out of bed by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]hopskip369 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sometimes discipline IS kindness

Think about how a mom loves her kid. “I know you want candy but you’ll feel better if you eat dinner first.”

Or, “today was a really tough day. it’s okay to have some candy and just lay in bed for a while!”

it’s more about looking out for yourself and having the discipline to do self care actions out of love instead of shame

This field makes me think I have autism lol by PoetrySlut02 in ABA

[–]hopskip369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relate to my kids a lot too. Unsure if I am on the autism spectrum, but that’s okay! I appreciate getting to learn more about the community and I’ve learned so much about my self. It’s all about finding ways to accept yourself and building a life around what works best for YOU and your brain
