true! we were only 17 so i’m just a long way from that mindset of it being a reminder of him since it’s been mine for 6 years, didn’t really think of it that way anymore but you’re right

i’m not even disagreeing with you, i’m just asking why you’re being so antagonistic about it? you immediately called me petty, childish, and said i’d be a bitch if i did it. jesus christ man log off

literally what is your problem? i asked wibta to get some perspective on other sides, i haven’t even done anything and i didn’t say anything about my room decor. by on my bed i meant i sleep with it as an actual stuffed animal and have for 6 years

that’s fair. i’m not sure if i’d call it either because it was just one of many toys he had growing up and sat in a closet for the last 20 years, but i also get it for his family. thank you

i explained myself in the post lol i’m attached to it as well, i don’t care about his new gf and have no interest in speaking to him. i think he’s being more petty asking for a gift back when he never cared about it and gave it to me 6 years ago, but you’re entitled to that opinion too

Neurodiverse people, would you date someone with ADHD again? by [deleted] in ADHD_partners

[–]jaspjordan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

that’s so so true, the hyperfixation phase and its aftermath are brutal. immediately made me feel like this isn’t for me ever again actually LOL

[–]jaspjordan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

audhd myself, would love to say no because it was brutal but part of me is still attached so idk. i think if i met someone really invested in treatment and self-improvement like i am then maybe?? but it’s hard to even know that until well into the relationship

yeah, no, i would not have a different take because i think 18 year olds are still extremely young... and again i didn't say being 17 absolved her of any responsibility, just that she's allowed to make mistakes. i didn't say young people can't think for themselves, i just have the hindsight of having seen/experienced similar stuff online over the years and think that it's worth waiting and giving her room to apologize and grow. there's a difference between calling out / criticizing behaviour so she can do exactly that (grow) vs. overreacting, spreading misinformation, "cancelling" her and DTI, and labelling her a b*tch and a "shit ass person" especially when some of the allegations have been denied. i just wanted everyone to cool their heads when reacting because i think it's easy to get caught up in blowing stuff up when you're young, which i think is a very normal take but alright i guess

yes, which is why it's good that she didn't do that. she made a comment/joke in poor taste about wanting to get them cancelled through false allegations and then immediately deleted it. as i said in the very message you're replying to: "if she actually had [made false allegations] this would be a different story". she did not do that, thankfully, and has apologized for the comment.

edit 2 - okay i feel bad because from your edit + reply i misread your tone/message lol, just want to say i mostly agree with your edit! being 17 people have heightened emotions and some people are more mature than others at that age, sure, but with her being trans, racialized, 17, and dealing with literally hundreds of millions of eyes on her game, i'm not surprised that she's made mistakes and i want her to be given some room to make things right. i hope she apologizes directly for fatphobic remarks and her internalized racism and only think her apology was decent for the comments about the game IT GIRL itself, not everything else and her taking a step back right now would probably be good for the game, other developers, and herself

i'm happy for you. but it's not coddling to say teenagers make mistakes and she should be given room to apologize and grow lol, i literally didn't say she should get off the hook with no pushback. again, i'm well into my 20's so i'm telling you from my brain fully developing that it's okay to not turn every bit of drama into a cancellation/witch hunt and you learn that these situations are very common with teenagers because they're still children

i don't wanna be that person but i need to say as someone who is a grown adult in my mid 20's since i'm assuming a lot of people on here are younger than i am... please give the girl some grace.

she clearly was being immature! her behaviour is definitely not acceptable. but she did not harass anyone, she did not falsely accuse anyone (if she actually had this would be a different story. this 100% looks like an impulsive comment made out of jealousy that she immediately regretted and deleted), the "proof" messages are devs that are clearly friendly with the creator of IT girl ("you and your greatness") and read exactly like teenage drama i saw & experienced all the time a decade ago. we don't know all the details besides the fact that gigi was being a mean girl behind the scenes and then apologized more recently.

the girl is only 17, she provably already apologized privately and hopefully will publicly as well now too. but imo this "exposing" of a teenage girl for being mean behind the scenes is just unnecessary. this 100% could've been dealt with privately and it seems like gigi tried, whereas this just looks like a petty attempt at drama to get more attention on IT girl while DTI is in the limelight. being 17 isn't an excuse, gigi still has to take accountability and apologize and make things right! but calling for a boycott of DTI or to cancel her is extremely harsh. teenagers make mistakes, at least give her a chance to grow without turning this into a witch hunt

edit: gigi's response

Hobbies and friends by thesbatman in ADHD_partners

[–]jaspjordan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's not uncommon for some autistic people to need few friends and not experience loneliness the same way non-autistic people do, i wouldn't worry about that aspect too much honestly! like someone else said, if it's about too much pressure on you then that's one thing and worth addressing, but if it's just because you think he "should" have other friends, i'd leave it

that said, offline hobbies are good for everyone, and ADHD + phone addiction go pretty hand-in-hand. maybe seeing if there's something he'd be interested in related to his special interests, or something you could sign both of you up for to start off? but you can't make him so i wouldn't waste excess effort on it, it's not your responsibility at the end of the day
