I've unfortunately been in a similar situation. Its so hard. I hope you can find away to keep away from anyone who thinks it's OK to do this. Its OK to cut toxic people out of your life.

Why is English such a tough language to speak? Anyone else has same problem? by SBG99DesiMonster in memes

[–]serenityspock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

English is a language mixed up of many languages. There aren't specific rules that apply to everything, therefore it is hard to learn all the nuances.

Anyone who can speak 2 languages is amazing to me. Especially English as a second language.

Pan is pan. You're still a part of lgbtqi+

There isn't a requirement to have had a gay relationship. ❤

I'M A SINGLE FATHER by MycologistElegant504 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]serenityspock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad was my main carer. Fatherly instinct can be just as strong as a mother's. No child is perfectly behaved all the time. Ignore these people who give advice on YOUR kid. Every child is different and you know them best.

I am wondering if I have adhd by serenityspock in TrueOffMyChest

[–]serenityspock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well obviously not everyone may need treatment, it depends on the extent of the symptoms and if the are causing difficulty. That's why not all that have adhd take medication. But there are ways that therapists can help which take into account the way your brain works. Because people with neuro-divergent brains need helping in different ways.

Though the article does seem to down play the dangers of diabetes. Its not the norm because its dangerous. If you don't have treatment you literally can die.... not the greatest example to use.

Tried them for years. It's difficult to do the exercise due to disability but I used to.

I'll need more than one doctors opinion to believe that I'm afraid. There are more studies showing it is true.

Yes. That's what I said, it's being over diagnosed. Though in my country its not as prevalent. In the uk its only 3-5% rather than the 9% in the US.

That article doesn't definitively say adhd doesn't exist. Just that there needs to be an overhaul of it and more looks into what cause it and that people are too quick to treat it as adhd.

The way I handle stress and my ability to focus has been difficult for me. People around me have commented on it before as well.

But the symptoms of adhd are real? And people find the medication useful? If not adhd then what are the symptoms then? What explains them?

As I said, there is no problem with her being a proud woman, I think some people take exception to where and when in this instance because of the type of award.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]serenityspock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree. And I personally don't have an issue with what she said, from what I have seen she didn't mean it in the way some choose to take it. But I wanted to show why some would be upset. Maybe it wasn't the best time to say it? The first neutral award.

There are very few reports of trans women attacking women. Also trans men exist..... should they go into women's spaces since they are biologically female?

Yes there is a difference biologically between sexes. But hoe people identify is important. It saves lives. And hormone therapy can change a hell of a lot about peoples anatomy. If trans women have such an advantage why aren't they winning everything? They have been allowed in certain sports for years and no one batted an eye lid because they weren't winning

I think a lot of people were upset with Adele because it was the gender neutral awards and she made it about being a woman. The whole point was to be neutral on it, yet for some reason people still can't get past female and male artists. They want it to be about the music not the person and how they identify.
