  • I see what you mean.

    I honestly need to work on slowing down - being more mindful. I have very bad ADHD and even with good medication, I struggle to stop and think before acting.

    That definitely doesn’t help. The medicine helps but I have not been putting in the work often enough to be less reactive and random.

    Also - I’ve made progress over the past few years in accepting myself. I still want to blame myself 100% for everything though and I still allow my desire to improve to feed the negative self-talk.

    I appreciate your response and for reminding me of things that can help.




  • I really do appreciate your response.

    I have been limiting myself unconsciously - again - and ended up paying for it. I was so desperate for a friendship that I ignored some reddish flags and attempted to navigate them once they were obviously red.

    Those negative voices that tell me I’m not good enough to have friends and that I’m unlovable won.

    I didn’t mean to upset them so much but I’m glad I did. They were treating me like garbage at times and I am better than that.

    Your points regarding the examples of friendship we have are spot on. I was running on a sort of autopilot that was programmed by poor parenting (I’m being generous here) and unrealistic media.

    I have a lot of work to do on myself but I know that I can find people that I can bring into my life to some degree that will help me overcome that loneliness and maybe even help each other be better.
