This is based on a lifetime of feedback that folks don't understand (or don't care about) my emotional response, and it's really hard to explain how these things feel.
Stuff hurts a LOT, it's easy to be overwhelmed, and you just can't help it. There's no safe outlet.
LRT: The more I learn about emotional disregulation and RSD in connection to ADHD, the more relieved I feel about finally understanding my emotional landscape.
I've learned to distrust my emotions and try not to show them whenever possible.

"Why criticism hurts so much"
I've been working on a series aiming to explain why we can get so afraid and deeply hurt by disapproval that it will interfere with our life decisions.
Coming soon:
2/4 "Where does it come from?"
3/4 "How can I spot it?"
4/4 "What can I do?"

Hey folks, I know Biden sucks donkey balls, but my life will be a lot less scary with him as President instead of the orange nightmare we have now.
Please think of those more vulnerable than you in this election. Do what will cause the least harm if at all possible.
Someone brought up this question and I'm really curious about the conventional Twitter wisdom on this. What's this difference between a bunny, a rabbit, and a hare?
And which one am I? ;)
Spoke to my Mom after maybe...a year of not being able to because she keeps losing cell phones and is a terrible person.
30 minutes of non-stop complaining later, I think I've filled my quota for the rest of 2020. Lunch well spent. >.>

I really needed to see this affirmation and learn not to shame myself for my emotions.

For those of you new to my story, I’ve been happily sequestered at my girlfriend’s family’s rural vineyard for weeks. I feel like I live here now. I guess I do for the foreseeable future. They’ve been excessively welcoming to me. Anyway, I went inside to see what was up.

...as I figure out how to be an active and engaged friend to people again. Give me time, and let me know when I make a mistake that causes any of you to feel ignored.
I'm doing my best. :) I'm always trying to do better.
Good morning, Twitter. <3
I feel like I've been pretty aloof with a lot of people over the past few months, and for that I'm sorry. I'm frequently overwhelmed and need to withdraw from interaction, but I'm trying to be better about that.
I appreciate your patience...

Listen. 2020 has been blow after blow after blow, and all of us are struggling with what's happening now in one way or another.
Especially today, please be mindful of that and let's give each other the space we need to process, grieve, be angry.

Hey, you.
Stop scrolling. Trust me, you're not going to find any answers past here.
Go read a book instead. Watch a movie. Call a friend. Start a project. Do anything besides continuing to scroll through Twitter's chaos.

THIS. I'm a much bigger fan of the "call-in" these days. Take a concern directly to that person and see if you can talk it out. It's so much more productive than calling out on Twitter
RT @VegaTKG@twitter.com
Look. There is a lot going on.
Before you start pulling triggers on people for interacting with a tweet know that people follow/like/RT/comment for SO many different reasons. If you have concerns about how someone reacted maybe ask them privately? Not everything is cut and dry.
