    Something I gave a lot of thought to while reading Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451".

    I struggle keeping track of what other people saying. I am not sure if this is adhd or apd
    Does anyone else also feel anxiety even when things go well? Like there is a piece of puzzle that is missing and when it comes everything will fall apart
    I noticed that i am almost triggered when people bash themselves. Because it reminds me of my past self, when i hated myself

    I don't think getting over this mindset is easy, and i hope someday everyone can like themselves

    You have a very nice personality if you think this way. It is hard to get over. Self-depreciation isn't as healthy as we think.

    It makes me feel bad too. I used to hate myself a lot.
    Why are people so dumb and rely only on instinct.. I am so tired of people and at the same time jealous since i have to rationally think every single behavior while they are basically sailing through life.

    I have to overthink every social interaction and behavior, bc otherwise people get angry and i get scared. I am jealous of people who don't Carry this burden

    Exactly, well said. What others take for granted, we rethink, and formulate and then execute, then go rethink the whole thing again. Lol

    They have no idea how lucky they are
    I had to go to the company today but p. Much did nothing and they told me to go home early. Meanwhile my coworkers are still working, i feel bad for them.

    I hope they don't get jealous and give me the cold shoulder tomorrow..

    If they do, that says more about them right? You went home early because they told you. What can you do otherwise?

    Yes although from their perspective it should be frustrating. But its no use dwelling on this
    I am angry at the fact that i bring work home at the weekends. I don't have to work on weekends just to meet deadlines.

    When you have zero support but a ton of expectations and worried that if you mess up or feel like if you ask for help it means that you are not good at what you are doing, this plays into imposter syndrom and negative feelings. You’re stressed and overwhelmed and often too tired. You have to be careful.

    Thank you very much for talking to me about this. My parents are pretty much walls when i talk to them about it, like they didn't even hear what i am saying. It helps me a lot to talk to someone here and to have someone understand. I am still feeling a bit guilty thinking i am "not doing enough" but i know this is not true
    O
    Owliet
    Think you are doing more than enough. But you need to find a percentage of work that works for you without too much stress (it’s something that I am also working on). Otherwise you’ll get burned out and that’s harder to get out of. =)
    Questioning my spirituality lately. I have no idea what beliefs i have anymore.

    That’s interesting now that you say that . You have me thinking now about tarot cards. Everything in existence has sequence, at least the patterns we can recognize

    The "hero's journey" makes me think of the Journey of the "Fool" as in the first card of Major arcana. It aligns in my mind.

    Interesting , personally I don’t know to much about tarot card , I will have to research more about them .
    I am so tired from working at my current job , with two faced people who think i am stupid to boot. And no one to Guide me and people who keep saying "to take responsibility what ever that means

    As an autistic person i surpass my limits everyday but still it is not enough

    One thing I have realized is that it is important to be granted clear instructions and not have games being played. It does make it hard when you dont have clear instructions, and games being played. Some NTs find it difficult also.
    Nt s live in a subjective, social reality(finally found a word to explain the dissonance between me and them)

    In this social reality they can fake liking people and talk behind their back. They are both friendly and hateful.
    I feel annoyed by the New book i got just bc how they portrayed Sigyn. I wish there was a book where Loki and Sigyn's relationship was portrayed positive

    Its Gospel of Loki by Joanne Harris. I am interested in mythology in general, but norse myth. isn't my fav.(though i am very interested in runes lately) In the past years it became very popular i think with Marvel movies

    I like that story about the snake and the bowl and earthquakes. I like the science behind it, how earthquakes happen. So scientific. :) lol

    Well it's all symbolic haha. That's why i love mythology bc of how absurd the stories can get.
