Jumping in, I also have a lot of BPD experience (example, a marriage of well over 10 years).
This is very BPD-adjacent. I’m not saying OP’s gf has it per se, because there is no way we can know from here, but this is definitely on brand.
If you read between the lines, the social conversation could written as this:
“Heading home, I need support”
“I’ll support”
<Doesn’t support>
<She feels abandoned, fight or flight kicks in and it turns her attachment-avoidant, results in silent treatment>
<OP gives space, which is interpreted as further abandonment>
<OPGF can’t take it anymore, and asks questions that feel like they’re out of left field because in fight-or-flight kicks in, clear thought is nearly impossible>
<OP finally gives reassurance that he didn’t abandon her>
<Normalcy continues>
RyanLiu@lemmy.world read through this comment chain, therapy is the answer here.
Don’t have that type of two-to-one in LEGO bricks. You’d need a 1x2 plate and then plug the head stud into the middle indexing pin of said plate.
Yes, shared joy is double joy. Where’s the question?
Light slaps like you’re packing a can of dip.
Good luck on your travels! The road to enlightenment is lifelong, not a race. I wish you the best!
Ok well if you are neurodivergent, a couple things:
Autism self diagnosis is valid if you do your research. University of WA recently did a study that figured that out.
ADHD typically needs a diagnosis from a professional to be sure, but it’s not super hard to guess if you have it. Some symptoms of ADHD can be caused by other conditions (anxiety especially) so navigate that one with caution.
If you are neurodivergent, typically the answer is routines rather than habits. I find them much easier to implement. Just decide the task you want to make into a routine, decide the steps you want to do it in, and then decide to always do it that way, or at least until you want to optimize or tweak it. A simple routine I do is “keys, wallet, phone, ear buds” while tapping my pockets on the way out of the door.
Not sure if you are per se, but this is a commonly felt sentiment in the neurodivergent community. Especially ADHD and Autistic peeps.
It’s true, my wife is autistic and can’t even eat a single food meal. She has to have a side or something.
I’m the opposite, she used to constantly question me for taking the exact same lunch for YEARS hahaha.
In case it’s not clear, we are both legitimately autistic.
Idk if this was in the movie as I didn’t watch it. But if the thing they’re attached to us hardened steel a hacksaw wouldn’t have a chance of going through it. It would wear the teeth right off.
A variable resistor would do a perfect job and still be very low cost. Some high quality LED lights do this, but it is rare.
I got the context I was looking for from the other comment but I knew you were trying to be kind/helpful so I was attempting to reciprocate! :)
No worries, I didn’t take it as super literal. But I always saw all the “Rule” posts and was curious.
Gotcha, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
Gemini guessed that this is “Gone Home” by Sam Greenbriar. No idea if that’s correct but it seems plausible.
