Thanks for listening and owning up. I know it's hard to break a habit when casual sexism becomes your norm.

[-] strawberry_enjoyer42 10 points 2 days ago

I honestly have a tendency to avoid taking responsibility and acknowledging when I'm wrong, but I'm trying to do better. Feel free to correct/confront me in the future.

[-] Wren@lemmy.today 8 points 2 days ago

I appreciate it. As someone who fought some hard rejection sensitivity issues, it feels way better to own up than to double down when I know I'm wrong.

[-] strawberry_enjoyer42 5 points 2 days ago

Oh. I looked it up, and that sounds like me. I wonder if it's connected to my social anxiety.

Also, yeah, owning up does feel better than digging my heels in.

I learned it's part of ADHD, which I have. Naming it has helped me acknowledge when it's happening. Since anxiety goes hand in hand with conditions like ADHD, it might be related.

I feel like I'm an egg, but for ADHD.

So many signs, but I won't say I have it unless I'm diagnosed.

[-] Wren@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago

Depending on where you live a diagnosis can be very hard to get but worth it to start working toward sooner than later (fucking impossible with ADHD, I know.) You learn a lot along the way even if you don't end up having it.

The book Scattered Minds by Gabor Maté started my journey.

I don't particularly want to be diagnosed with anything. I'm definitely autistic, though, but I'm not diagnosed.

Permission to DM?

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
