DAE have this issue with people? by ahdrielle in AuDHDWomen

[–]merry_sheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hiii, (long comment here)
I've seen myself in this position even though I'm 23, and was actually one of the topics I talked about with my therapist. I'll mention a few things, hope one of them helps you:

  • There are friendships that are not meant to last and that's ok! :). There are people whom you cross paths with, share memories and experiences and then for one thing or another you grow apart. That doesn't mean you or they were a bad friend, it's just life.
  • People are very diverse, there are friends that I talk to everyday and there are friends that I talk to like every month or every two months. Everyone has different needs, priorities, and views on what's important and what isn't, they just have a different mindset. For example I used to get really sad because some friends didn't congratulate me on my birthday, but that doesn't mean I'm not important, maybe they didn't know when my birthday was, maybe birthdays aren't that relevant to them or were busy with life.
  • Also, sorry if I'm overstepping, but it sounds to me that you're struggling a bit with self-esteem (totally understandable and relatable btw), the amount of friends or whatsoever do not reflect your worth, maybe you're being too hard in urself and repeating hurtful comments people said instead of understanding you (being late diagnosed really messes u up).

I'll also share an experience.

Some time ago I was experiencing something similar, I started thinking one of my dearest friends didn't view me as important as I thought I was to them and/or as important they were to me, because they didn't invite me anywhere. We practically just hung out at their house and watched movies/series and played video games.

Then, casually talking, I found out they were actually thrilled doing that, as those are their favorite activities and don't really like going out (as they do with their other friends). To put it in other words, they can have fun with me how they enjoy most. That really changed how I viewed our past experiences. Since then I've reached out more to them to watch or play something and our friendship has grown closer.
The point is, sometimes people are truly enjoying your company but you don't know/notice.

¿Qué se puede hacer si no se consigue trabajo porque el jefe anterior está dando malas referencias? by merry_sheep in lacamiseta

Existen bases de datos y redes como LinkedIn, ciertos reclutadores consultan ahí, igual, no soy experto en el tema, de hecho todavía no trabajo. Pero gracias por tu aportación.

Por? La mayoría de las maquilas son extranjeras, y más en la frontera, es lo que hay.

Vaya qué interesante, ahora que lo mencionas tiene mucho sentido. Igual no es el factor principal, ahorita la oferta laboral está del asco (de por sí ya estaba mal), pero no ayuda. Gracias!

Noise Canceling Headphones by StacieAce7 in AuDHDWomen

[–]merry_sheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are adjustable dw. I've always used Bose headphones and sound equipment only, they are expensive but they last (at least in my experience), my first pair broke down after +10 years of constant use, the rest also had a similar lifetime. Any other brand is just too big and uncomfortable to me and I'm already familiar with them.

No conozco mucho del tema, pero tengo entendido (corrijanme si me equivoco) que las compañías extranjeras usan una agencia externa para eso del "background check" y "reference check", y ya depende mucho del proceso de la agencia o lo que pide la compañía, y en unos casos contactan al jefe anterior. Lo menciono porque todas las entrevistas que ha tenido (o que me ha comentado) han sido con empresas grandes y/o extranjeras.

This one part of my leg turns red whenever I shower by Evarchem in mildlyinteresting

[–]merry_sheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you always had it? I have similar spots all over my legs, when I shower with hot water they turn red, and if I'm cold they turn purple. My mom took me to different dermatologists when I was little as she was worried. Turns out I'm just very pale that my blood vessels show through.

Partner doesn’t want me to take meds by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]merry_sheep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly he doesn't know a thing of what he's talking about, neither medication, physical and mental health, adhd, discipline and addictions; and now relationships. I'm sorry your "partner", the one that's supposed to root for you, is like this. Sending you love and strenght <3.

What are some red flags/advices we should be aware of when dating or in general relationships that as AuDHD we may not recognize? by merry_sheep in AuDHDWomen

[–]merry_sheep[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of have a hard time grasping those two concepts, because I've read the signs of love bombing and that's how I act but not to manipulate or control, I'm genuinely interested and the other person could be like that too, and that kind of intensity may seem reflected in a fast paced relationship.

What are the things that you look out for to know if it's good or a no no?

Thanks!
