This Felt Very Appropriate To Share To Main.

This felt very appropriate to share to main.

As a man with social anxiety, I like to know how to do things, what to say, and questions I need to ask before I do or say ANYTHING, EVER. I NEED to know the proper process for things, or else I flounder and have a Very Bad Time(TM)

i just spent 20 minutes in the shower sobbing bc i’m scared of growing up and having to do things on my own i hate myself wtf i’m such a BABY

Sometimes I trip and stumble over words when I info-dump, the suddenly I’m crashing back down to earth and realise that there is now a line of people behind me in the coffee shop. The poor cashier is cowering in terror in the face of my word-to-breath ratio. I’ve been there for half an hour

Imagine being able to talk to people without sounding like a fuckin idiot

hey friendly psa/reminder that with the seasons changing right now, a lot of people with mood disorders (and even people without them) can get all messed up and wonky from that so try to go a little easy on yourself if you find yourself spiraling or getting emotional a lot lately okay? youre doin your best. love u

Fictional characters might not be real, but our relationships with them are. 

Studies show it’s difficult for our brains to distinguish between our familiarity with characters on TV and our personal relationships with real people. The effect is so strong that just thinking about watching your favorite TV show can make you feel less lonely.

Y’all

Watch me juggle four hyperfixations at once. I’ll do it, you cowards!

The fixations mentioned? Oh! They’re Invader Zim, My Hero Academia, Dear Evan Hansen, and Undertale.

Hahahahaha! I’m in trouble....

I normally try not to share things that aren’t related to adhd/adhd-adjacent, but this one hit me hard.

Yesterday my mom, my 5 year old nephew and i were hanging out, and my mom kept constantly using female pronouns and calling me by my birth-name. 

finally my nephew interrupted her to say,  “He wants to be called Ben. He’s a boy now. You can’t call him a girl if he’s a boy.” 

and right after that, she started using my pronouns and name correctly. i guess it kind of hits you hard when a 5 year old child calls you out, cause anytime i’d try to correct her she’d keep making the excuse, “It’s hard, I’m trying.” 

i am so proud of my nephew, i shit you not.
