That’s the sensible thing to do. You can’t do everything. So if you’re going to fail anyway, you might as well do it lying down.

[–] django@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Maybe get a pillow to make yourself more comfortable.

[–] hobovision@lemm.ee 17 points 6 months ago

Oops on the way to get my pillow I noticed something cool and now I've been reading Wikipedia for an hour.

[–] Szyler@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

But I didn't do anything productive so I don't deserve the pillow.

[–] django@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 months ago

Everyone deserves a pillow.

What a terrible way to think. How about not trying to do everything all at once, but one thing at a time and enjoying it?

"Excuse me, i have a suggestion you might not have considered. Have you tried...not being depressed?"

😜

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't find this funny :(

[–] the_post_of_tom_joad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

Me neither friend, my emotion indicator is a spoonful of sugar.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

"Have you tried just being neurotypical?" 🙄

[–] thepreciousboar@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

Bro first of all you are breaking the only rule. Second, it's a joke, we all know the best thing to do, the difficuklt thing is doing it

[–] AFLYINTOASTER@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I agree with you, you need to take manageable bites to even begin to get a grip on executive dysfunction. The downvotes seem extreme.

1% more each day every day, baby.

[–] BeAware@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The downvotes are because we aren't here to be critisized for our way of doing things. If that's what we wanted, we'd have went to our very own parents. That energy isn't well received here, obviously.

[–] AFLYINTOASTER@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I don't see a critic, I see someone trying to help.

At some point you need to choose agency and be your own parent. It takes a horrific amount of work and you need to choose agency like every fucking nanosecond which is exhausting but it's already exhausting and horrific being depressed and screaming at yourself to stop staring at your phone and do something, anything, please, so you might as well get up and do five push-ups so you can say you moved your life 1% forward that day.

A defeatist mindset only leads to weaponizing ones incompetence, which is cancerous.

So like, we're in adhd memes tho not... life skills advice. We totally know. And the context of where we are is important context mr helpful likely missed. It's fine, no one is mad, we're all adults. Sometimes people miss what comm they're commenting in. Since that is the case, perhaps you can see how OPs unasked for, and (quite frankly) ridiculously ignorant advice, here, is unwarranted and outright disliked?

Again, we're adults, talking about something we have been dealing with our whole lives. Capice?

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You might know, the next one might think "oh, so that is the way".

[–] the_post_of_tom_joad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Lol where the hell did you guys come from and how soon till you leave? Cuz i keep trying to be nice and it seems like it is only inviting more ridiculous people to show their asses like a kid in their favorite underpants.

I'm hope that you take this comment as a literal lesson I'm teaching you, for having the audacity to lecture me on something thing you know capital n Nothing about.

Now please, if you would, kindly "oh that is the way" yourself to the door.

Some people. Christ

[–] BeAware@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

If "what a terrible way to think" isn't criticism to you, then let me not critisize your opinion and say that it sucks.

Have a good day.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 23 points 6 months ago (2 children)

How can I explain this to my partner?

[–] old_machine_breaking_apart@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

You just have to talk and explain everything. Oh, wait...

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 months ago

But then apparently I'm overexplaining and repeating myself...

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

This video actually does a pretty good job as far as I can tell and it's only a minute long 🙂

[–] Raptor_007@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago

I sometimes identify with this, but lately I mostly skip panels 1 and 2 altogether.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Anyone want to get into woodworking or smithing? I've got an idea, let's veg out on the sofa doing nothing while we decide which would be a better use of our time.

[–] thepreciousboar@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Bought all the tools, got satisfed and rarely use them

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You didn't forget to feel satisfied the moment you completed the Amazon order, feeling no sense of joy whatsoever by the time it arrives and you're back to your overwhelming life of failure at mundanity?

[–] thepreciousboar@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

Every single time.
