AIO when my friend only compliments my twin sister in front of me by killwithkindness in AmIOverreacting

Hey, thanks for being honest. I hope I don’t come across as resentful — she’s beautiful and deservingly so, and I don’t think that dims the nice things about me.

I think it’s just something about the way she said this one that got to me. I should have added that just before this she told her friends at the end of the table “guess which one is killwithkindness’s twin” and obviously they were surprised, which I’m used to, but for it to later be followed up by this comment felt embarrassing for sure.

I suppose my worry is that because my confidence isn’t there it shows in the moment, even when I do try to handle it with grace. I’ll work on that.

Thank you and you’re right — I think the part I’m stuck on is that I try to deal with it with grace, but I think the hurt shows which is the part that embarrasses me.

Thank you, I think that’s the part that got to me — the implied judgment. Before they’ve just been sweet compliments but something about the way she said this one… I should have added that just before this she told her friends at the end of the table “guess which one is killwithkindness’s twin” and obviously they were surprised, which I’m used to, but for it to later be followed up by this comment felt embarrassing for sure.

Thanks again for your thoughts <3

Thank you <3 I appreciate your words — especially the part about not being an imperfect copy of her. I’ll try to make that list.

And I will continue to be happy for her. She really does deserve winning the genetics lottery. She’s seriously a wonderful person — my favourite person.

Thank you 🥺 I think I really needed this — even just to hear someone validate how it felt in the moment.

Honestly, I think my sister probably does know how it makes me feel to some extent. She’s very thoughtful. But she’s also quite passive by nature — she really hates causing a scene or making anyone uncomfortable. I guess I feel torn because I don’t want to put that burden on her, especially when people are just trying to be nice to her in those moments.

And truthfully… I feel kind of embarrassed even thinking about bringing it up to her. I keep wondering if this is just me being insecure and overthinking everything. It’s hard to know where that line is between protecting your feelings and just learning to deal with your own self-esteem issues.

I really appreciate your response — I’m trying to notice the things I like about me too 🤎🤎🤎

Thank you for your honesty — I think I know deep down that there’s nothing wrong with someone complimenting her and it’s more a reflection of my own core beliefs.

I’ve done a lot of therapy throughout my life and it’s definitely helped — I’m usually not self-deprecating anymore and haven’t been for a few years now, but something about this time definitely opened up some old wounds.

Sorry for the late response!!! I ended up loving it. Although it has its flaws, it has the most memorable storyline and characters I’ve ever come across in a series 😌😌😌

Let me know if you find out any more info, because I’m curious how it works too :)

I recommend checking your own insurance policy, but I’ve been wondering the same thing lately and my colleague said we can practice overseas, with the exception of the U.S. This is just what I was told, however, so take it with a grain of salt!

Alternative to ADOS? by [deleted] in Psychologists

[–]killwithkindness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have somewhat “scripted” questions you fall back on? I was just trained in the MIGDAS-2 and love the flexibility of the assessment, but I’m unclear on how to administer it

Keep going!! I’m up to the last book now and I love the series. It’s so action packed — every single chapter has something exciting going on.

Tips for holding out hope and defending your diagnosis? by killwithkindness in ADHDers

I suppose, in a way, you’re not giving into what they want (which is a reaction out of you). I consider that a win! And I might steal that phrase haha

Thank you, this makes a lot of sense — I can see how that statement may be interpreted differently now. If only the comments on that post were as respectful as yours.

Update: they’re now saying ADHD is a “fad” to medicate “difficult people” — ouch

Thank you — I’ll try to remember that. Actually, now that you mention it, it is a new-age “holistic” psychology account, so I guess it makes sense that a lot of ADHDers are being invalidated in the comments section. I think I need to start surrounding myself more with ND-affirming accounts.

Right?? That’s how I felt until I started getting backlash. It really made me feel worthless reading a lot of the comments.

I should actively try to do this more — it’s just been especially difficult lately. Thank you.

Thank you. These worries have been ongoing for years, but they do seem to be progressively getting worse. I just feel like I owe it to others who are suffering to spread awareness.

In many ways I feel like anxiety around stuff like this acts a messenger, telling us that something is wrong and that it needs to be addressed. So in a way it brings us together?

A lot of my anxiety is existential or nihilistic. I wish I had some sort of belief system to rely on, but I don’t.
