That and "you are every intelligent, I've never before had a patient who understands and knows so much, you can go so far if you just get past these issues."
Ok, thanks, that only makes it worse. The "issues" are everything, they're not just small bumps in the road. And you putting that kind of weight on me, that I'm expected to go way beyond just having a functional life, just makes makes it even harder to aim for a possible goal. I just want to get to a place where cleaning, hygiene, doing the most badic things expected work without feeling like it takes up more than twice the battery I have. It feels so disrespectful.

A fun lyric from a song I like called Pretending by Orla Gartland.

"All the people over there They don't seem to have a care I'm so fucking self aware, it's exhausting."

Nervously chuckles in social anxiety. 😭 👌

Yeah, it's the oblivious asshole bullies who are the happiest. I still don't want to be one, but I can't deny that life would be better if I had (say) my father's limitless self regard.

Stupid mother fuckers (the scientific term) are rarely aware of the negative impact they have on those around them. Case-in-point: some lady at a green light just turned her hazards on and sat there blocking traffic for some unknown reason when we were coming home today. She's way-too checked out to actually think about the people inconvenienced by her behavior or she'd be too horrified by what others thought to do so. I mean, some people are genuinely uncaring about others, but I think the majority don't think past their own action rather than being sociopaths. They just aren't thoughtful people.

In short - you think too much

more self awareness is nice but too much can make you a hermit

A lot of unaware self aware people in here... Jesus.

The problem isn't YOUR self-awareness, it's everyone else's LACK of it.

I often marvel at the way some people can just bobble along through life bumping into things.
