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.

Maybe get a pillow to make yourself more comfortable.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 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?

"Have you tried just being neurotypical?" 🙄

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 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.

How can I explain this to my partner?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bought all the tools, got satisfed and rarely use them

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Every single time.

And then the company he runs gets awards for ethics.
