Har fået en mail fra EDC om at de er blevet hacket, og de anbefaler at oprette en kreditadvarsel på borger.dk, for at undgå at der kan optages lån i mit navn.
Jeg er så også igang med at købe bolig, så jeg skal lige præcis have godkendt et nyt lån i denne måned…
I really loved A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers.
It hit me right at a time when I needed it, and made me feel that change might actually be ok.
I don’t really notice that I’m thirsty, so I used to go full work days without drinking anything other than a glass of water that my colleague gave me at lunch, then feeling strangely tired when going home.
The end result was a kidney stone. After that painful experience, I always have a bottle of water in my office, and make sure that I drink one bottle before lunch and another in the afternoon.
On days off from work, I still forget to drink, because I don’t have my water bottle there to remind me.
At my age, this has happened more times than I care to admit. With some people, it’s like no time passed at all, and everything is great.
With others, it has become very evident why we lost touch.
I haven’t discovered a way of seeing who is what type without just trying to reconnect and seeing what happens.
I run into this in periods due to working too much and just not having the energy. The key for me is to give up on any intellectual ambitions for a while, and just go for something that’s quick and easy to read.
After I’ve started reading regularly again, I can then ramp up the difficulty until I suddenly reach that stage again where I feel like “it’s weird how I just don’t read anymore”, and I have to start over.
Er der ikke også noget med at man kan linke direkte med [email protected] ?
I’m not so keen on the recipes that use yoghurt, I feel that it gives me the wrong texture, so I’ve settled on this recipe that I think gives great flavor and great texture for very low effort.
Thank you, that's a helpful analogy. I'm self taught in most of the things that I enjoy, but since this is something that I don't enjoy, I might try to find myself a coach for this one. :)
That's a good point. I should change my ambitions and join something more local and regular instead of trying to break through instantly at a thing with 2000+ people.
You're making a lot of sense. I also struggle with phone calls, and the only way that I've found to make them work is to take out something that I can take notes on (or I will forget what was said during the conversation), and then just dial the number before I even have time to think about it.
It can be hard to remember in the moment, but I try to remind myself that the other person probably also wants the conversation to succeed.
Thank you. Looking at my own progression, it actually makes a lot of sense that practice without feeling anxious won't help (apart from training on what to say, or for example spotting when people lose interest because a story becomes too detailed.) I can talk all I want with those people I feel comfortable with, or in situations that I know how to navigate. As soon as someone I'm not comfortable with shows up, I still go numb.
So the only way to break down the barrier is to deliberately and repeatedly set it up and punch through it. I think I have something that could work for that, which happens regularly and which I have sort of wished that I could be a part of. Do you think it's possible for me to practice by myself, or do I need a therapist in the mix?
How to connect?
I just got back from two days at a giant conference. Every year I go, and my dream is to join in the community that it is a part of, and every year I come back, having talked to no one at all.
I can plan things to say, and then just shut down when the opportunity comes. I can also plan too far and figure that I won't have anything more to say after the initial contact, so why bother?
I've read various books on social anxiety and the old "How to win friends", but I just don't feel like they're helpful. Does anyone know of any resources that take autism and selective mutism into consideration?
