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.

[-] hobovision@lemm.ee 17 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

[-] django@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

I don't find this funny :(

[-] the_post_of_tom_joad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

"Have you tried just being neurotypical?" 🙄

[-] thepreciousboar@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

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 1 month ago

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 1 month ago

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?

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

[-] the_post_of_tom_joad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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 1 month 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 22 points 1 month ago

How can I explain this to my partner?

[-] old_machine_breaking_apart@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago

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 1 month ago

Bought all the tools, got satisfed and rarely use them

[-] blazeknave@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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?
