I believe I’m so strong and can handle anything coming my way. “Nothing can sway my ship, I’m so unbothered.” It’s such a lie though, I’m the most sensitive person I know. I was just listening to music and a song played that I used to listen to with all my old friends that I…

Also the insane amount was purely hypothetical. It was a sales job where I got no base pay. Worked 30 days no pay 8 hours a day 7 days a week. So I was doing free labor while getting screamed at, then I was called entitled for asking for base pay.

Yeah I just quit and walked out. Feel way better. Dude went on another rage and started saying slurs to a person (that person was racist to one of our employees) but still. Full screaming match, another panic attack, got up and left. I’m at peace.

Even if I am getting paid an insane amount, is it worth the mental struggle? My boss is a lunatic, I walk on eggshells, and feel like anything will set him off. I have panic attacks almost everyday. I think I gotta leave, but ghost. If I put in two weeks and try to have a…

For my Autistic/ADHD folks, the best way to protect your peace is to be silent. I know this isn't possible in every situation, but if it is, use it. The NT individuals will tell on themselves further and further by you being silent. Used it on my boss last week and he told me…

AFFIRMATIONS FOR HEALING THE FATHER WOUND: I deserve kindness. I am not my father's anger. I did not deserve or create his rage. That was his to deal with. I am loveable. My father leaving had to do with his lack of life skills. His inability to cope and raise children does not…

Sorry I'm venting, why do bosses not give you more details and then get mad that you don't do exactly what they want. My boss fully shadowed me through a bunch of convos with potential clients. Then during this morning meeting he flames me in front of everyone for not saying…

Why are bosses so crazy? Dude said he is gonna start firing people if they don't put their camera on during the morning meetings. Said there is not a single good reason to have your camera off. My reason is that shit makes me mad uncomfortable.

Should you tolerate bad behaviour in exchange for money? Whether that being a bad boss or a bad family member. Especially if you are in a sticky situation or need that money. I’m having a tough time with this.

Is there a correlation between object permanence and Autism/ADHD? It seems that a lot of my issue with not keeping up with all my friends is just forgetting they exist. It'll be months until I'm like "holy shit I haven't talked to x in so long."

Is y’all’s spatial awareness just trash sometimes? I’m like nah that door isn’t that close and then I run straight into it. I’m a magnet for corners,doors, dressers, and standing trash cans.

Pulled up to work with a spicy chicken sandwhich from Chick-fil-A and this new guy says "you know that's not good for you." I'm getting policed and I said "it's tasty." He said, "Yeah it's supposed to be, that's how they get you." Like how is this real? Who thinks that's okay?

Is balance not a real thing, like there is always an opportunity cost? That sounds quite obvious, but idk why it's not for me. I get happy because I am killing it at work, eating healthy, and working out. But then since I am doing all of those things, I am not spending time…

Why do I have to script every conversation before I have it?

I was working as a CNA and having the worst day ever. Incredibly stressed out and then this lady (who I didn't know) kept telling me to do stuff that made no sense to me. I talked back to her only to find out she was the head of the floor. Yeah I cried the rest of the shift.

Does anyone else get extremely anxious going grocery shopping? I don't know if its because it's too overwhelming, it's too overstimulating, or I just have a terrible relationship with food. But I would say over half the time, I am on the verge of tears when grocery shopping.

Man the things that bring me out of shutdown. I was in one of the worst shutdowns in a while over the weekend and I was driving. Saw this homeless man that I befriended a couple years ago. I hadn’t seen him in over a year. Let me tell you, I never got out of shutdown faster,…

I remember at almost every function, after about an hour, I would just go AFK. The people at the function would always find me in a room by myself. I could never explain to them why at the time, but now I know that my battery was limited and I was drained.

Is it possible to be friends with someone that only knows how to communicate through raising their voice or yelling, even if they are right 99% of the time? Or is it a fair boundary that I wouldn't want to be friends with someone that thinks it's okay talk to me like that?
