Seriously. I don't have the energy to keep track of that shit. If somebody was shitty to me they just get labeled as "not friend" and get treated like an acquaintance. Anything more requires me to care about them in some way, and I have shit to do.

[–] intelati@programming.dev 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you're a work friend/acquaintance, yeah who gives a flying.

Now, the top ten "anime betrayal"s, those are the one's that hurt/stick with me.

You mean you don’t hyper fixate on a few uncomfortable moments from your past and hold grudges based on those?

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 2 years ago

I barely remember my own life so I indeed don't hold grudges because I have no idea why I held them or if it was actually my fault that something happened.

[–] weirdingmodule 9 points 2 years ago

That's definitely my flavor of ADHD.

[–] argentcorvid@midwest.social 9 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah, that too.

I like to turn the grudge inward. Me am my nemesis, bane to others and self

[–] WYLD_STALLYNS@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

I do this often, so not sure every ADHD symptom is common to everyone.

„Here's the ten bucks you let me borrow, sorry it took so long, I hope you aren't angry at me“

I gave this person money?

You just reminded me of how some years ago I found my wallet that I totally forgot about behind my bed because it fell in there. The joy is real.

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

Finding old christmas cards you never took the money out of is the best

[–] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sometimes I leave money in glove boxes, cupboards, and whatnot as a surprise to my future self.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago

Omg, this had happened to me a few times, hahaha.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It bothers me to an absurdely strong degree that random words are capitalized.

[–] Classy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not random. They are capitalizing words for emphasis, similarly to if they said it as big of me or hold grudges — using title case like that also makes it seem like it's a sort of monolithic idea worthy of a formal noun, like Always remember to Brush Your Teeth!

[–] strykerx@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Even then...those are weird parts of the sentence to emphasize.

[–] Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Compounded by the fact that's not how capitalization works. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Ya gotta learn the system before getting creative with it; blowing through a trumpet is not "jazz", it's just making fart noises through a tube.

[–] Promethiel@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

As a decent writer with ADHD who is constantly receiving unbelievable smoke up my ass from my readers; It's not very Cash Money of you to judge what you're perhaps not understanding or worse, not considering.

Random titling of That which We Believe To Be Of Import, is—however triggering unto itself—just another of the ways we're out here coping with the "Mind Bees".

Consider the community you're in. Isn't it enough to be misunderstood and prejudged by those whose minds aren't divergent to the same degree?

Be the Change You Want To See.

[–] jcg@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

This Whole Comment is actually pretty Cash Money.

[–] z500@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The way I read it, being the bigger person and holding grudges are ideas that are so ingrained in society that they treated them like proper nouns for emphasis. Which seems appropriate for a meme-y delivery format like a tweet. Sort of like Patriot Caps, but less haphazard and more self-aware.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, it's weird but not as weird when you notice that only the keywords have the first letters capitalized.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I only hold one single grudge in my life. The one fucker in high-school who took the accountant role when my mother died of cancer, took the money my class raised for my family, and spent them on luxury stuff for himself.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

...Please tell me something happened to him in legal terms.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Haha no... However they got hit by "divine justice" The same day they bought these, they got hit in the street by a motorcycle and ended up in the hospital.

[–] Turious@leaf.dance 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mine is a fun sort of specific. Years later, I'll remember that I hate a person's guts but will completely forget why I hate them. But that visceral hate stays with me.

I recently had a conversation with my ex-fiancée of 15 years and she was apologizing for things I didn't even remember her doing. But I remember the bitterness from those things.

[–] misanthropy@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

People will forget what you do, forget what you say, but they'll never forget how your make them feel.

[–] argentcorvid@midwest.social 14 points 2 years ago

I was featured in a story told by someone at a funeral regarding some disagreement/fight I and the deceased had.

Don't remember it at all, nothing about it even rang a bell.

[–] ReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

I guess I'm different. If you burn me enough to illicit disgust, I will remember that over all else and I only forgive if deserving. I've had to many people take advantage of me. I don't hold grudges, I identify if you are a positive or negative effect on my life and treat accordingly.

[–] genoxidedev1@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

Most of the time when I'm replying to posts I'm doubting if what I'm typing is related at all to the post because I forgor what it's about as soon as I'm at the comment box and I just hope nobody notices when/if I'm typing pure bullshit.

My memory is such shit but I guess for stuff between me and my best friend I used to have it did help that I was never able to hold a grudge. I learned apologizing real quick and the last few arguments we had I apologized to her within a minute or two of starting the argument because I didn't want to lose her anymore (though we used to always come back to each other sooner or later anyways). Not the last one we had though, I miss her with every last piece of my heart 💔.

So much time.

[–] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Wait, bad memory is a sign of ADHD?

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago

As someone with adhd let me also tell you one of my favorite internet quotes of all time:

Every pees too but if you’re peeing 60 times a day that’s when you see a doctor

[–] Ataraxia@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

I mean that's a lot of things and also can be normal. Don't tik tok yourself a diagnosis considering even different psychs will come up with different conclusions. I'm dealing with that now trying to get a diagnosis one says def adhd the other thinks bipolar... another depression. They just pick something. There's like no science behind psychology I swear.

[–] xkforce@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Meanwhile there are people that I have literally had a grudge against for decades. All they have to do to get themselves off the shitlist is to not be cunts to everyone around them. That's literally it. Except Connie. I want an apology for what you did.

[–] QubaXR@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (7 children)

So weird to see a liberal content creator use that weird selective title case that became submissions with conservative posters. (You know, capitalizing the first letter of some words)

Edit: to clarify, I'm not trying to create drama or accuse anyone of anything. I'm just curious because I always associated this style of capitalization with certain discourse (or with German language)

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 7 points 2 years ago

It's usually to Brand™ a concept. Democrat Witch Hunt™ The Deep State™ Do Nothing Democrats™

It's one thing about Trump that I could say "he knows what he's doing." He's all about marketing, he knows how to create brands, he just doesn't know what to do with them after he creates them lol

[–] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 7 points 2 years ago

They've co-opted capitalization??

You've got to be making this up, for real?

[–] Ataraxia@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

What did I just read.

That's why you need to read Building A Second Brain by Tiago Forte. Then you can just have you Little Black Book in the cloud so you never forget.
