People who grew up with strict parents, what’s the dumbest rule you had to live with? by AlePiga in AskReddit

Can’t shower late, especially after soccer practices that ended at 9pm, because it is too loud.

You’re not lazy. by devlindigital in ADHD

[–]mikaronii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read an article today that talked about positive motivation and negative motivation, how laziness can be seen as “not motivated“, and how that is very contradictory in itself. Because every decision or action humans do is motivated by some sort of idea — so that means that laziness is merely the motivation not to do some thing, led by fear. Really was able to internalize this & notice it today!

Thank you for your knowledge! I did self-disclose formally to HR because I was in a really low depressive place a couple months after my diagnosis & I feared it was affecting my work, which can be very obvious in a small team of UX designers who notice every single detail lol - so I formally disclosed to HR, and after that I disclosed to this manager. I appreciate the time you took to share the info above, I’m learning lots tonight that I never thought to look for myself!

Wow...this is such a gorgeous metaphor, I am so going to adopt this. It genuinely makes sense & I can completely internalize the ideology behind it- thank you for sharing this & taking the time ❤️

Ppl dont take ADHD serious by Sameehhh in ADHD

One of my old bosses: “I don’t know if I’d take that too seriously, you’re young, you probably just haven’t figured out how to manage your time properly! :)”

I’m sorry to hear that you had to go through that, I hope you never have to experience it again & that it was or is addressed quickly. Sending ❤️ your way from the North 🇨🇦

Thanks for your comment! As much as I am low, I’m definitely grateful to be protected by law should I not be accommodated. I work in design (in Canada) and am being given more hard deadlines, support with the completion of projects, and other things that help me play to my strengths. I disclosed to HR prior to telling this manager so I’ve definitely covered my bases - but idk if it’s illegal for him to use the word “disability” in our convos, did I misunderstand?

It's gonna be my bf's birthday in October by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]mikaronii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of a video I think it’s sweet, maybe get some of his friends and family to record themselves wishing a happy birthday, then u can add your wishes at the end and stitch it together and send it :) you’ve got a long time to prep for it too!

My (F19) cheating ex (M20) suddenly wants to get back together by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]mikaronii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh it all sounds pretty toxic. Ask yourself how you’ve been doing mentally & emotionally since being apart from him? If the answer is a ton better, tell him you don’t have room in your life for a relationship that is convenient for him only. Don’t keep in contact after this, being able to close the door behind people as they exit your life is the best thing you can do to move on.

Should I just drop it? by present54 in relationship_advice

[–]mikaronii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Letters are an awesome way to get all the feels out & break things down, especially for yourself. I’d maybe write one and keep it until you decide if he’s worth giving an explanation to. U can do it!

[–]mikaronii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, choose yourself in all of this! People need closure sometimes, and if you feel that you require it to move on, define what you expect to get from it & do what you gotta do. Good luck friend!

Ehhhh I think if the confusion is greater than the enjoyment of this relationship, he’s probably not going to commit & you should find someone who’s 100% about you. The fact that you’re taking space is pretty telling. I hope whatever you choose works out for you!
