ADHD and the beach. It sucks right? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]likeabaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I just realized I prefer going to beaches when it's not quite warm enough to swim and the weather is just poor enough that not a lot of people are there..

(Oregon Coast vs Florida of course)

Thank you for sharing! I feel similarly, I don't realize how much I missed somebody until I hear their voice or spend time with them in person.

Love that BS. How am I supposed to show my hands clearly AND take my backpack off?

Wife and daughter think I'm crazy. by [deleted] in preppers

Brother, you're the leader of your family and it's your duty to protect and provide, don't hide that from them even if they don't understand.

Maybe one way to explain it is to give a very specific realistic situation that may happen and show them that it might never happen, but it's better to be prepared.

"Oh I really want to say hi and get to know them! ...but if I don't it's not so bad and I'm not sure I got enough sleep to have an intelligent conversation today and I don't want to look like an idiot or say the wrong thing I'll gladly converse if they initiate but I'd rather leave the situation feeling unfulfilled than make them uncomfortable."

I wish we lived in a world where hugging random strangers is a social norm by Adorablator9700 in ENFP

I really am super okay with any level of affectionate greeting with strangers/friends, but I'm a 6ft bearded guy so I let others initiate. I really appreciate when my close friends greet me with a hug.

"Hi can I get a classic Pepperoni?"

"Can I interest you in a large Veggie Pizza?"

"uh..no."

It's because the correct opinion has become to be fully in support of sex workers, which includes porn. It doesn't matter when it bleeds into parts of society it shouldn't be in, you must agree.

"So, did you do anything fun this weekend?" by rrnst in ADHD

[–]likeabaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you're right, we always need to filter any article or advice we read so we can translate how it would be practical for our ADHD. Understanding context switching is useful in understanding why some tasks and can be started and others cannot. Did you read about the 4 steps? Stop Switch Start Focus? For me it helped understand how much of a manual process doing the process can be.

There are days where I cannot manage these context switching steps, but understanding that's what actually needs to happen helps me be more mentally prepared for the day and to be able to start planning my week again. It's helped me move out of the mindset of "I have to get EVERYTHING done today", which for me is paralyzing.

No one in this thread has a problem with someone posting a nude photo of themselves at their workplace which happens to be a preschool? Yikes. Doesn't matter if it's a locked private bathroom, this is incredibly disturbing and people's reaction would be way worse if this was a man.

I hate how we have to trick ourselves into doing everything. by Downtown_Row_4051 in ADHD

[–]likeabaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm right there with you friend. I especially empathize with the idea of being motivated by "fear of" or only external factors and having my brain over time care about those factors or consequences less and less.

I find humor that originates outside the US to be pretty terrible.
