Another Question

I know I’ve asked a question already but is there anyone that has a pet? It struck me as I was cleaning our birds’ cage (we have two, a male and a female) and I was curious! So do you have any pets? If you do what’s their names and whats your favorite memory with them? 🙂

I have 2 guinea pigs (Lucien and Edgar), 3 fish tanks (Baby, Bean, Atropos, Lobo, etc), 5 rats! (Amethyst, Aileen, Poppy, Rum Tum Tugger, Kedemono), and technically a pink toed tarantula that is name less rn.

hey. hey. when you’re in a relationship you CAN NOT do things like threatening to self harm or even kill yourself when something goes wrong and you dont want to talk about it 

thats manipulation. you’re trying to manipulate your SO into backing down and doing/saying what you want them to do, whether you notice it or not. you’re teaching your SO they cant argue or defend themselves bc theres the danger of you hurting yourself

stop doing that. there’s literally no excuse for it.

please remember that in a healthy, adult relationship (romantic or not), you should be able to talk about things that are bothering you. if you are bottling up your emotions and holding it against someone when you haven’t told them what is wrong, you’re not engaging in healthy behaviour. but also, if your friend/significant other makes you feel as though you can’t talk about what bothers you- i.e. has made you feel guilty/gotten extraordinarily angry when things were brought up in the past- they are not engaging in healthy behaviour.

It’s probably not surprising that folks with executive dysfunction often have little difficulty getting stuff done when there’s someone around to tell us what to do and supervise us doing it. What’s perhaps more surprising is that it’s not necessarily due to fear of punishment: having a supervisor is effective even if the supervisor in question has no ability to actually compel obedience. Basically, “following direct orders” seems to be a totally separate executive pathway from “self-motivating”, and having trouble with the one doesn’t necessarily mean having trouble with the other.

Which, of course, is why you can end up with situations where your own self-care is garbage, but caring for your pet is totally fine: the benefit of having a supervisor ordering you around can be realised even if the party giving the orders is a cat.

Along that same vein of I tell some one ill do something i tend to do it, vs if i just tell myself to do something and then lay in bed for 3 hrs before doing half of the task is given myself.
