G’day again….yeah, that’s part of the frustration though. I know what I need to do, but sometimes things just get blurted out anyway, ‘filter’ and ‘hand-brakes’ on or not! It’s why I tend to stick to the periphery and try to avoid the cut and thrust of social events because I’ll inevitably embarrass myself by offending somebody or everybody. It’s much easier to just tune out and disengage, no? 🙁
REPORT ABUSEHmmm, what’s the question? My only distinctive achievement is in taking mediocrity to previously unplumbed depths, and sex for me was and is just another bodily function…*yawn*…it needs to be a bit interesting to even pique my interest lol
Anyway, I’m certain that my jibberish hasn’t answered your question, but at least I replied, eh? G’day to you anyway….*flutters eyelashes*….
REPORT ABUSEDoing nothing is what I do best!
REPORT ABUSEApril 23, 2013 at 8:46 pm in reply to: Stressing out during chaotic situations…advice please! #120152Hmm, interesting. It might seem bizarre, but I generally find myself calm when in the midst of some chaos. It’s almost as if an ‘automatic pilot’ switch is sub-conciously activated and takes over from the erratic and bored pilot…one of my deepest dreads is the ordeal that is going shopping. I loathe it with a passion! Frenzied consumers charging up and down the aisles with their goods laden chariots are as missiles fired at me by Mammon herself! I do not linger, just grab that which is needed, and try and get to the gates of Hell itself as the consumers line up to pay for their perishables….the longer that I’m compelled to wait the higher my blood pressure goes. A few years ago I had what my wife calls a ‘panic attack’. It was Christmas Eve and I’d drawn the short straw to get groceries with my kids as a ‘human shield’ from the Philistines. It was akin to starring in a nightmare. The stampeding herd had amassed outside the supermarket awaiting my arrival with conspiratorial malice. The distinctive clapped out Wallace jalopy was the cue for the Consumerist SWAT team to saturate the aisles and jostle like ravenous swine for the last dregs of the fetid swill that glinted with evil intent at the bottom of the trough. By the time that it had come to park my chariot in the swelling carpark for processing I was as red as a tomato, could scarcely breathe, and had to suppress a yearning to bulldoze every last desperate squealing oinker that was between me and freedom! Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhhhhh
Emancipation was only possible by uttering a short sharp burst of profanities about not being willing to be a bit-player in that seething cauldron of evil and with a symbolic shrug we abandoned the chariot and made our way through the choking weeds that would surely have seen my ignoble demise attributed to cardiac arrest in a hillbilly supermarket on a Christmas Eve, and duly given the epithet as the arsehole that had the selfishness to die on this evening of all evenings just to hold everybody else up just that little bit more as some sort of perverse form of revenge….
REPORT ABUSE*sigh* It’s the cross that we must bear, no? Even by the purgatorial standards of my gloriously dysfunctional family I was tagged as the scapegoat, the fall guy, the convenient presence upon which the household infractions were nailed to! Even when I wept and gnashed teeth for a belting over something I hadn’t even heard of and I was as innocent as a foetus, I was the handy file for trouble…it was infuriating bearing the punishment of my next brother time and time again for his sins due to his inherent cowardice and rat cunning as I’d blundered into an unfolding Royal Commission and the Court would cry in unison ‘Guilty, Yer Honour’! If I thought that school was going to offer some respite I was crestfallen to run foul of the old bag Head-Mistress who humiliated me with some slaps, rough pushes, and unmentionable profanities for giving a big mouth turd a blood nose! Served him right for making fun of my Scottish accent, no? *shudder* It only got worse from there. I’m so accustomed to being in trouble, being a trouble, or troubled, that if a day or two passes without an uproar or tumult I’m beginning to think that everybody has just chipped in to hire a hitman and be done with me!
REPORT ABUSEI must have muslims on the brain, I read that as ….do not lead to any goat!
What is the difference between ‘lying’ and ‘bullshitting’? It’s a fine line, and I do occasionally lapse into those fallen states. Not very often mind you! Very rarely in fact….
REPORT ABUSEAha, an appropriate time to re-introduce myself methinks! Apart from the online scrabble that I play I think this is the last place (out of 3 fora) where I’m not banned, or suspended…it’s a bit rough. A 30 day ban for allegedly upsetting muslims no less! Huh? Who’d of thought that people affiliated with those that stone people to death, behead people for the hell of it, promote paedophilia, beastiality, necrophilia, and ever other perversion known to man and some sustained satire induced a facebook jihad! Ah well, so be it! I was well and truly bored with goading those peculiar people, so the ban will wean me off my addiction to ridiculing the ugga ugga’s….
Yes, I do talk too much, rarely listen at all, and it takes unbearable restraint to keep my mouth firmly shut when within earshot of the banal, the boring, or the blowhard! Age, and a fraction of wisdom has trickled through since the days when I was a walking warzone, argue and fight with anybody and think that it was a bit of a hoot into the bargain! Okay, I’ll shaddup now, au revoir!
REPORT ABUSEHmmm, procrastination, eh? That old chestnut….*shudder*….
REPORT ABUSEUm, so I’m a retard, but what is EMS? *runs away*
REPORT ABUSEHmmm, I’d just blurt it out I reckon. If the diagnosis was something like ‘bi-polar sociopath with paranoid schizophrenic delusions garnished with an anti-social personality disorder’ or something similar I’d keep probably keep that to myself lol….
You’ve gotta tell him, no way around it! ADHD shouldn’t matter one iota if he loves you, and if he gives you a hard time about then you know what you have to do without me suggesting it…bear in mind that I’m no Dr.Phil though, and my track record with relationships is best not discussed. I think that some of my ex-girlfriends still burn my effigies to this day, and I’ve been married for nearly 16 years!
Anyway, g’day 🙂
If it all goes pear shaped maybe we could….
Don’t worry, just kidding 🙂 Good luck with it all…
REPORT ABUSEG’day space cadets! Funny I should land here in the exercise yard after a bit of a hiatus, because I’m kicking off a fitness regime in 2 days time! I’ve been preparing for it with some easy stretches, and some not too taxing exercises! I’m doing the exercise thingy as I’ll be giving up the smokes so I hope that I don’t run out of puff too quickly! *slaps self for shit joke 🙂 * How do we get the funny faces up here?
REPORT ABUSEGee whiz, how does one get those facey thingy’s up? It eludes me…
Hmm, nah, I don’t think that my glittering career has been a process of elimination. In the early years having a job was just a way to deflect scrutiny from my oddness, and as I never ‘aimed high’ I just blundered from one crappy mundane job to another, and it was always the same story: quickly bored, heaps of sickies, and then a game of cat and mouse as to whether I resigned or got the sack first….
As for the uproars, that’s just what happens when I get bored and mischievous. Playing tricks, joking around, and manipulating dull environments to become a bit more entertaining lol….nothing sinister or nasty, just a bit of fun! I’m an introvert though, and don’t do well in social situations. Over time I’ve learnt to keep out of the way and to keep my mouth zipped up as much as possible before I offended one and all with something not properly considered and weighed up before delivery…*grimace*….often I’d express my bewilderment with a ‘what did I say?’ Meh, I dunno. I haven’t given it a great deal of thought, because, quite frankly, I’m not really good at anything…*blush*…
I love animals, and it’d be a delight to feed and play with baby animals in a zoo or something. That’d be a blast, and wouldn’t feel like a job. The regimentation of any job has also been a source of angst for my masters from the gulags too. Invariably late, not servile, and strong willed…not the attributes of a malleable serf, eh?
As for education I’m a high school drop-out, and my CV, such as it, reads as an obituary for a bona fide loser lol! I’m still at the point of coming to terms with ADHD, and who knows, maybe I’ll reach a level of maturity which will see me salvage something from my train wreck of a career…
Research does sound interesting though. I’d never considered a job doing that sort of thing, and anyway, I wouldn’t know where to start. When it comes to work prowess, or whatever it’s called, I’m too acutely aware of my own lack of suitability for any job that might require a humble primate to apply basic deductive powers lol One thing’s for certain, I’ve never been ‘headhunted’ by a Corporation…tee hee
Anyway, easy is boring…even as a tike my mum always said that I always had to do everything the hard way! I’m content to just blindly blunder along the highway of life just navigating my way through the impediments and obstacles as they come at me like heat seeking missiles lol
I’m gonna go and have a game of scrabble or 10 now! Cheerio for now xo
REPORT ABUSEG’day Marie! Yeah, I’m kind of unemployed at the moment…I have been doing a few days here and there in various gulags weeping and gnashing teeth whilst barely measuring up the the limited demands of menial labour! Tee hee
As for circuitry things, I haven’t the foggiest idea. I just used to like taking things apart and looking inside! Those cute and colourful little things attached to wires fascinated me, so I’d resist the temptation to demolish my latest radio for as long as I could before yielding and demolishing it…alas, I’m afraid that my curiosity about those sorts of things never cultivated an understanding of how they worked, and they’d just become my Hiroshima or Nagasaki for my next wave of bombers (pens that i’d set on fire to drop those globs of burning plastic)…
Sorry to sound like Captain Negative but I’m afraid that I have as much commercial flair as a dung beetle. I couldn’t run a lemonade stall, and perhaps the only things that I seem to have an intrinsic ability to do well are causing mischief, and fucking things up! If it’s an uproar that you want then I’m your guy! I could cause a full blown riot in a buddhist temple with only a handful of sleepy and gentle elderly monks hundreds of miles from anywhere in the middle of nowhere! I can break the unbreakable too. Somehow. I don’t even know how I manage to wreck stuff that has survived manhandling from A grade troglodytes!
I’ll figure out what my niche is one day…I’ve had so many jobs, well in excess of 100, and have loathed them all. Business stuff bores me unto death, and I apparently have issues with authority types, so even if I had the inclination to try hard at something somewhere, my unwillingness and inability to backstab and kiss butt would ensure that I remained dangling precariously from the bottom rung of which ever gulag was stuck with me…researching things sounds interesting though. How does one get a job doing that? That’s another thing, I’m not a pragmatist and waste so much time going around in circles wondering what’s going on…
That book ‘the art of non-conformity’ sounds very interesting too! Sounds right up my alley! Some of us just seem to be able to do it without any effort, eh? 🙂
xo
REPORT ABUSEA very sad post ‘thisguy’…it breaks my heart to read about your plight. I hope that you and your daughter manage to have a special day today…
Those drastic thoughts that you’re entertaining must be pushed away as soon as they pop into your head. Your little girl needs you, and not only do you have an obligation to love and protect her, she has a right to having her daddy to look after her too. Kids that are fatherless are vulnerable to exploitation from predatory types, and life’s tough enough for a kid without having to deal with no daddy, eh?
Those of us with ADHD know only too well the crap that comes with it, and it’s a bitch, but we have to just keep plodding along and deal with the shit as best we can. It’s a vicious cycle: attempt something, fuck it up, give up, endure scorn and ridicule, procrastinate for a bit, make another belated attempt expecting to fail, do fail, and on and on it goes…If there was an award for ‘Loser of The Year’ I’d be in contention every year!
By the sound of it most of us aren’t the social butterfly type either, and you’re not abnormal by not having a busy social life. I could count my friends on one finger, never mind one hand lol….as for your meds, on their own they won’t be a panacea. You’ll need to join a support group in your area, and you’ve made a start by joining an online group. We understand the challenges that are there every day, so sound us out, eh? My email addy is harlequinwallace@gmail.com if you’d just like to unload…every time you have a bad thought you think about that tiny little girl and remember that despite what you and others might think about you, to her you’re the greatest guy in the world and she loves you more than life itself. You are her world. Make this your turning point to make her world a better place, a less anxious place, and be her security. She needs to know that, no matter what shit life throws at you guys, that you’re going to be stoic and that if nothing else, she’ll always have who she sees as the world’s greatest guy by her side looking out for her…peace and love to you! *gives thisguy a big hug*………
REPORT ABUSEG’day Larynxa! Thanks for the explanation….
I’m not very computer savvy anyway, and I’ll just bumble and blunder around…
I have no idea what ‘Beta Mode’ is, and what is a bug anyway? Reporting a bug? LOL that’s funny, but I’ll leave The Stasi stuff to others I think! I bug people so maybe I’ll be the one being reported and getting hit with the cyber insecticide! The monthly deductions sound far more palatable than a single hit.
What happened to the facey thingy’s, and how do I put an av up? I’ll have a play about and see if I can fluke it…
