That guy's a bitch.
On the other hand, if you still feel the same way after 8 years in a job, is it still imposter syndrome or just verification of incompetence?
I dislike the "So in other words you mean that " technique used in a conversation. Especially if it's not in a form of a question but rather a statement.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Do you mean that ?"
A nicer way to put it, in my opinion 🤗 Takes more of the blaming out of the reply, keeping it a bit more neutral ❤
.
Don't get me wrong - sometimes it is needed to assess negative things people do.
But it can be done in a more polite way.
No need to be more harsh than what a situation/conversation really needs.
Heh. A comic is one thing, but they can be starting points for a comment or lesson well done, received and learned ❤
But it is tho. Being an actual adult is taking care of yourself and maximizing what you can do and how to do it. How best to support onesself. Not suffering for the sake of suffering and then insisting everyone else suffer as well.
Huh? I dunno how to break it to you, but being an adult is about handling your shit. You get your shit done. No excuses, no h alf-assing things.
If you use a disability as an excuse to not handle your shit, you aren't adulting. And that's coming from a physical cripple. You find the tools you need, you find accommodations that get the job done.
Now, much like with physical disability, neurodivergence can mean that you simply can't do the same things as anyone else. That's why things like ssi and ssdi exist, they give you room. I'm not talking a literal job in all cases, I'm talking about getting the shit done that is within one's ability to perform.
But there's always a point where a person has to decide to either handle their shit or punk out and use their limitations as an excuse. And that's what the cartoon is about, imo.
whoosh
"Nothing could go over my head. I would reach up and catch it."
The orange dinosaur is that little asshole voice some of us don't always keep inside our heads where it belongs. As you have just done.
This is called irony. It is also ironic that I am talking down to you, now, using my own orange dinosaur asshole voice. It really makes my explanation ring hollow, if you think about it.
Please don't respond. I don't speak any English. I only know how to copy and paste the above incredibly situational, admittedly rude, comment, in the vanishingly rare situation where it applies. And also this explanation of the previous sentences.
I dunno how to break it to you but no one in this comic is suggesting to half ass things and no one is giving excuses. You're getting worked up over literally nothing.
