Leilys

Honestly, the only thing I'd like to know is besides being within my rights to feel hurt regardless, what I can do to salvage whatever relationship is left.

But, I don't feel it's honestly something I can control. The ball seems to be in their court and I guess I shouldn't hold my breath.

I've maintained a policy of openness and honesty with people around me. All I asked for was them to not lie. People can say they'd prefer not to say, and I'd drop the topic immediately, because that's how I would like to be treated in kind.

I would've respected boundaries. I don't emotionally blackmail people to tell me secrets, like you're supposing. I didn't chomp at the bit for their relationship information, and when they said there was nothing on the few times it was very obvious and I asked, I stopped asking.

If a white lie ends up hurting someone anyway, does it mean the hurt doesn't exist because you meant well?

They're serious people, and they told their parents within a week of starting.

I care less about the fact it wasn't told to me, I would've respected it if they said they didn't want to talk about it. I just feel hurt that they resorted to lying.

Been hoping for that for a long time, lol.

I actually bought one for my collection. Takes a lot of tweaking, which I think is what detracts a lot of people, but it's not bad hardware at all.

Currently jailbreak is possible if you have firmware 9.0.0 and below, to my understanding. You can look up videos, but most people recommend text guides as they are easier to update and keep current. For PS4 it matters less since nothing has changed since the current jailbreak released.

You don't need to disclose the diagnosis to your employer as long as you're not seeking any accomodations. I've personally withheld my diagnosis from my boss since there's no need for accomodations beyond my medication.

I used to have a very hard time staying awake in meetings that didn't involve me directly, and medication has been a lifesaver. There will be people who insist you never had a problem before, etc, but I'd encourage you to just ignore them and do what's in your best interest. You know yourself best.

Have you ever found that game where it plays well, mechanics are solid and the art is also up your alley. But at the end of each round you play you just see the little battle pass section trying to prey on your sense of FOMO, trying to scrape out just a little more, even though the price tag upfront is already a bit higher than what you'd normally pay for a game in the same vein.

I found a game I probably could've genuinely enjoyed for a long time. I was talking it up to my friends to buy it on release together so we could play co-op. The demo was really great.

For it to come with a Day 1 battle pass (plus online only access when it had singleplayer modes) makes the developer's intent very clear: we want more money, and we'll use every FOMO trick in the book to achieve it. And once you pay, you still have to work for those rewards you paid for.

Cosmetic DLCs are fine. I play a fair bit of DST and I enjoy collecting twitch drops and free skins, and if I wanted to support the Devs more I could buy a pack. That's upfront and transparent. I don't get reminded every time I build a chest that "There's 16 more skins you can unlock for this item". That would be scummy.

I majored in communications because I was so burnt down after secondary school that it was more a process of elimination - I couldn't do everything from A to Y, so that only left Z. But I would've liked to go into something to do with computers.

My father's a software developer too, and seeing my neurotypical younger brother following in his footsteps now is a bittersweet experience. He gets a lot more attention from our dad, and I feel like he's the white sheep of the family, where I'm the black sheep for not being able to do well in life

I don't know if I'll ever retrain to pursue that career, but I'm in my mid 20s and there's time if I'd like to. Right now I have a stable career, and I'm working towards life milestones one day at a time.

Are you also a recipient of the "You have potential, you're just lazy" award?

Its sad to see that we all bear that weight of all these great expectations we just couldn't seem to meet, despite our best efforts.

My partner was also the one who suggested I get checked. I hope you'll be able to find the support and help you're seeking soon, because it really makes a difference.

All those flaws you've kicked yourself over for a lifetime suddenly become manageable and doable with medication, in my own experience. It's such a: "Wait, that's it? That's all it takes?" moment.

I forget if Vyvanse is available in my country, or if it's only available in longer effect doses here. I've also heard about Concerta (is that the name?) but so far I've only tried Ritalin and it works pretty alright if I'm not overstimulated when it starts kicking in.

I have gotten overstimulated when I went out shopping once while it was in effect. Not a pleasant experience, but definitely a new one.

That's a pretty interesting fact about Vyvanse though. What's the window of effect for the one you take?
