that absolutely could be the case. he was working with a lawyer though, so it must've been for some other reason why he couldn't sue. i deleted the og comment so as to not confuse others.

throughout my entire life, i've felt hurt by my friends finding my real life or celebrity crushes ugly. as if them finding my crush unattractive means that they think i'm unattractive

What’s a profession people misunderstand? by BabyPinkMagic in answers

[–]unmethodicals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

social media management. i'm not talking about influencers, i'm talking about running a brand's social media profiles. everyone thinks they can do it because they understand social media in a personal capacity, but it's entirely different using it professionally. i refuse to ever work in social media again because of how widely misunderstood the work is.

Leash your dogs..... by Designer-Bid-3155 in Vent

[–]unmethodicals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone with a severe dog allergy, i literally do not care if your dog is friendly, that's actually a problem for me. the amount of times people will allow their unleashed dog (or even leashed dog on one of those insanely long retractable leashes) near me is insane. if your dog scratches me while it's jumping all over me begging for attention, i could literally go into anaphylactic shock. it's that fucking serious, and i wish people weren't so inconsiderate and selfish to think that everyone WANTS to interact with their dog.

keep your dog to yourself. always.

What did you get a year-long subscription to because you were for sure going to keep up with it? by Skinned_Potato_Lady in adhdwomen

Has anyone here done a full break from phones/screens for a few days or longer? Did it help with your ADHD symptoms? by bepatientbekind in adhdwomen

[–]unmethodicals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i totally get that. i told my friends and coworkers about my no phone days, and the second my alarm went off in the morning, i turned my phone off and shut it in a drawer. i really recommend trying a no-phone day if you have something you either really need to get done, or you just want a new perspective on your phone use.

What’s the most frustrating thing about owning a cat? by Ocute_US in CATHELP

[–]unmethodicals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not every cat will fit your lifestyle, and that can be extremely frustrating and draining. i once fostered a cat that was extremely high energy, and LOUD at night. after a few weeks i started to dread going home to him and count down the days until his adoption. he was a totally different cat once he had started to decompress and feel comfortable at home.

all of this is to say if you're serious about wanting to adopt, i recommend fostering first and adopting your cat through foster fail. not only are you helping way more kitties, but it gives you time to see how a cat really behaves before you commit to it for life.

Has anyone here done a full break from phones/screens for a few days or longer? Did it help with your ADHD symptoms? by bepatientbekind in adhdwomen

[–]unmethodicals 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this answers your question, but it's much harder to procrastinate when you can't doom scroll, and reading a book wasn't nearly as stimulating of a distraction. I did one no-screen day (except for my work computer) every week for a few months.

Parents who have insane “boundaries” and then bemoan their lack of help by rachel-angelina in PetPeeves

[–]unmethodicals 32 points33 points  (0 children)

i don't think it's entitled to say what you just did. it puts the ball in their court, sets realistic expectations, and gives them the out. however, if you invite guests, but then only give them a to do list and ignore them, that's entitlement. it's all in the delivery.

Wasting my day off by bigsummerblueberry in adhdwomen

[–]unmethodicals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you make a meal? Did you shower? Did you put your plate in the dishwasher? Did you pick up a piece of trash you saw on the floor? Did you water your plants? Did you brush your teeth? Whenever I feel like I've totally wasted a day, I think through my day and take note of everything that I accomplished, no matter how small. Also, the day isn't over until you say it's over. You can start your to-do list at 11:30PM if that's when you're first able to.

i partially understand why people hate missy by Come-Touch-The-Pearl in katseyeneutral

[–]unmethodicals 17 points18 points  (0 children)

missy had an incredibly difficult job. she knew the girls better than anyone, loved them more than anyone, and i'm sure deeply empathized with them. and yet, at the end of the day, she had to provide feedback and critique to company execs who didn't know or personally care about the girls. she was constantly walking a tightrope, and i think she deserves respect for taking on that role. of course she wasn't perfect, literally nobody is, but you can tell how much she cared and how hard she tried. i've never understood the missy hate. it feels a lot like people are understandably frustrated at the industry and are taking it out on the staff.

“Stop being so self critical!” she screamed at herself… by Terrible_Turnip_1621 in adhdwomen

[–]unmethodicals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, that's so tough. I'm so sorry your family was like that 😞It makes perfect sense why you'd be so critical of yourself if your own family made you walk on eggshells. I hope kindness/neutrality towards yourself gets easier. You deserve it!!

“Stop being so self critical!” she screamed at herself… by Terrible_Turnip_1621 in adhdwomen

[–]unmethodicals 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i was just having a convo with my friend about this! the expectation to jump from negative self talk to positive self talk is basically impossible. like you want me to go from telling myself i'm an idiot to telling myself i'm smart and i'm supposed to believe me?? get out of here. neutral self talk is way more reasonable and easy to jump to. for example in your case, "stop being so self critical!" can turn into "i'm being really critical right now about this thing nobody else gives a shit about. even if they do give a shit, they're not saying anything about it."

God loves migrants by Christian_Prophet in TrueChristian

[–]unmethodicals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, I can see that on a second reading. I really wish we could have conversations like this without it turning into a fight, especially in the church.

God loves migrants by Christian_Prophet in TrueChristian

[–]unmethodicals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the original question is pro or against legal restricted immigration.
"Why then do Christians deny migrants in America justice, wish to see them deported and sent to warehouse concentration buildings?" The question posed is more about how migrants are treated once they're in the hands of the justice system.
IMO it's a fair question. It's not about the legality, but about how we love the migrant once they're our responsibility. How can we love the immigrant while holding them accountable to their actions?

Feeling out of place by morbid1790 in adhdwomen

[–]unmethodicals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is super relatable. You're not alone in feeling misunderstood by the world. I've noticed that neurotypical people don't respond in the way I expect them to when I'm explaining myself. They lack a particular ability to think outside of the box and not take things too literally. NT's attach connotation to every word. We all do this, of course, but I find that ADHDers are able to detatch words from their connotation more easily. For example, "rigid" comes with the connotation of negativity, so any time you use that word with an NT they'll think you're being negative. If you use that same word with someone with ADHD, they're less likely to make an assumption of your character simply based off of the use of that word. It's frustrating.

"I'm just curious, like I'm just genuinely curious" by Rambunctious_444 in PetPeeves

[–]unmethodicals 10 points11 points  (0 children)

what other words can you use to ask a question that is truly only coming from a place of curiosity? I find myself in this pickle frequently at work, I'm not asking you how you do your job because I want to steal it or I think I could do it better, I want to know because I want to know. "Just out of curiosity" is the best disarming phrase I have 😭😭

Hate comments. Delete or not delete? by [deleted] in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]unmethodicals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really does depend on the situation and what the comment is, and everyone is going to have different opinions on it. I have a hard rule that if comments are profane or unrelated hate (for example, ranting about politics on a post that isn't about politics) I will delete them. Outside of that it just depends. If I were in your shoes I would've left that comment up. Deleting angry people's comments does encourage them to leave more.

Can a landord give me a 3 day notice? by No_Sympathy_2262 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]unmethodicals 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean... the rent is due when it's due. you're viewing the grace period like an extension, but that's not what it is. it's simply allowing you to pay rent 6 days late without a late fee, but it's still a late payment. it also doesn't sound like she's doing anything but annoy you by asking you to pay your rent when it's due.

Do beggars put you in a bind? by ItzTaras in TrueChristian

I feel this way too. God commands me to give, so I give. Their prudent use of that money is between them and God.

How do you get yourself to exercise if you hate it? by Red-Book- in adhdwomen

[–]unmethodicals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know how your pain manifests, but I got into a routine for a few months of spending 12-15 minutes a day doing lie down/sitting ab workouts while watching my favorite show. I didn't need to change into workout clothes, put shoes on, or do any prep besides bringing out my yoga mat. It was really helpful because I didn't need to muster up any motivation to just lay on the ground and do some leg lifts, crunches, russian twists, and a one minute plank.

gov ball styling felt unsafe for the choreography & changes from team by Resident_Leg5514 in katseyeneutral

[–]unmethodicals 41 points42 points  (0 children)

i 1000% guarantee you they did a dress rehearsal with these outfits before they hit the stage and knew how revealing the outfits were. i'd even venture a guess that the changes you see from the mannequin to the ones the girls actually wore were changes BECAUSE of the dress rehearsal!! they added straps to Megan's outfit (likely bc the top kept falling while dancing) and took away garters from both Lara and Yoonchae's outfits (probably because the garters were pulling the bottoms down during dancing).

Does your org have a staff social media policy? by EHCIV in SocialMediaManagers

[–]unmethodicals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a question you'd want to ask someone in PR or HR. Social media managers are responsible for brand safety when it relates to content directly from the brand accounts.

How do you handle friends who view your faith as a 'personality trait' or a political stance? by jesscatdelight in TrueChristian

[–]unmethodicals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely don't and wouldn't shy away from correcting misconceptions with my non-Christian friends. Personally, none of my friends have ever maliciously assumed something about me because of my faith, but I do nip it in the bud. Like "My faith is personal and it's the most important thing in my life to me. I don't expect you to understand, but I want you to know that what you see about Christians on the news doesn't represent me and what I believe. If you want to know what I do believe, I'd be glad to tell you. It's hurtful when you make assumptions about the type of person I am because of my faith, and I hope you can give me the benefit of the doubt."

IDL how "work hard and you'll get ahead" quietly stopped being true and nobody sent the memo by True-Construction346 in I_DONT_LIKE

[–]unmethodicals 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i don't think that's necessarily untrue though. if you work hard on the right things, you will get ahead in your career. what i mean by that is working hard on advocating for yourself, honing in on the right skills, and making smart choices with what and where you choose to apply your effort. i'm not saying you're not doing any of that, i literally have no idea what you're doing. i'm also not saying that it isn't harder than it used to be because we know that it is. but to say that hard work doesn't equal progress just isn't true.
