I start the day as the latter, and turn into the former as I run out of energy and the mask comes off.
Nested parentheses, I like your style.
gotta fight the urge to open a million of recurring parathesis
Right? I wish it were socially acceptable to use them all the time
Aren’t you supposed to use brackets if that happens? {Like (this?)}
Your are supposed to use [], not {}
You use {} only when [] and () were already used {So[this (is)] how}
Ah yeah that’s right. The funny part is I was looking for [] but couldn’t find it on my phone
Ok new gamer tag name for me. Because I do love them
I’m the type that sits quietly doing everything except the thing I should be doing, feeling anxious about that thing, and staying so quiet that people even forget I’m there.
My partner and I are both of those. She’s the anxious one and I’m the “fuck it” one. It works out alright, she can get more done, and I can calm her down when it’s not actually as important as she thinks it is.
Hey, I’m held together by more than anxious coping mechanism. Substance abuse isn’t necessarily anxious.
My wife is the first time and I’m the second type. By our powers combined, we’re barely functional!
People constantly telling me i was so relaxed growing up. No shit, I avoid stressers like the plague, to the point my brain threw out my emotions in high school. Everything only started resurfacing when I became an adult and I couldn’t avoid stressful stuff like being healthy and having to work and clean up after myself
Are you me?
My coworkers think I’m the latter no matter how much I demonstrate I’m the former
Absolutely “fuck it LMAO” type. I don’t have the energy to do anxious, if I try something snaps, usually sooner than later, and takes out a bunch of things like a broken chain. My life is kind of a disaster.
Anxious coping mechanics here
Same, it’s like a tightly wound string around here. Pull too hard, and it all breaks loose. But it keeps up appearances.
I’m the latter.
How the fuck am I always both
I’m chaotic anxious. I don’t have the energy or the resolve to be fully the second type but I have the energy to be anxious about not being better.
I love how the top comments are complete opposite for the same reasons, lack of energy. Personally I’m so goddamned anxious changing the conversations 10 times a minute to try and distract people from how anxious I am. Also stroking my beard constantly, chewing nails to nubs and pacing around constantly
Omg I twril my mustache like I’m Snively Whiplash all the time for the same reason as well as stroking my beard.
Yes me too
Reading the Getting Things Done Method edition 2 I noticed the author seemed to have established excellent strategies for coping with both ADHD and mild megalomania brought on through a successful self-help writing career
