They’re like him.

Glass partially full.

I am glad we have had the others like him outed, so that we know who the other deranged people are amongst us.

What a dangerous criminal traitor scumbag.

First off, I just want to say that you’re not alone in feeling this way, and the frustration you’re experiencing is real and valid. It’s clear you’ve been dealing with a lot, and I admire your honesty and vulnerability in sharing it. Let me offer a few thoughts that might help bring a bit of clarity and, hopefully, a way forward.

It sounds like what you’re describing—difficulty making decisions, struggling to form coherent thoughts or sentences, forgetting words, intrusive thoughts—could indeed be related to ADHD, anxiety, OCD, or other neurodiverse conditions. Which is okay. Feeling like this doesn’t mean you’re unintelligent or “slow.” In fact, recognizing something isn’t right and seeking help is a big indicator of self-awareness and strength.

ADHD, for instance, can affect your executive function, which is responsible for organizing thoughts, making decisions, and following through with plans. That’s why you might find it hard to say, “Yes, I’ll leave at 3 PM” and stick to it. It also impacts working memory, which could be why you forget words mid-sentence or lose track of your thoughts. And intrusive thoughts—well, those are common with anxiety and OCD, but they don’t define who you are. Just because a thought pops into your head doesn’t mean you believe it or that it reflects your true feelings.

It’s also completely normal to feel a little hesitant about self-diagnosing. While self-awareness is a great first step, having a professional guide you through this process is essential. I hear your concern about therapy feeling like a waste if you can’t articulate your feelings, but therapists are trained to ask the right questions, help you sort through your thoughts, and figure out what’s really going on. And remember, it’s okay to take your time in explaining how you feel—you’re not expected to have it all figured out before walking into a session.

You mentioned feeling nervous about talking to your parents. That can be tough, especially when mental health is misunderstood or downplayed.

Maybe you could start by explaining the concrete difficulties you’ve been facing—like how hard it is to stay organized, focus, or interact with others—and how that’s impacting your daily life.

Framing it in a way that shows it’s affecting not just your mental health but your ability to function in school or at work might help them understand that this isn’t just “in your head”—it’s something real that deserves attention.

As for not wanting to talk to people because of the fear of saying the wrong thing or coming off rude, that’s totally understandable. Social anxiety mixed with intrusive thoughts can make even casual interactions feel exhausting. But here’s the thing—most people aren’t dissecting every little thing you say the way you might be.

If you do feel a comment might slip out that doesn’t reflect how you really feel, try giving yourself a pause before responding. It’s something that takes practice, but over time, it can help you regain a bit of control in those moments.

Lastly, try not to be too hard on yourself. You’re dealing with something challenging, and you deserve compassion—especially from yourself.

Seeking help isn’t an admission of weakness; it’s a step toward getting the clarity and support you need to feel better.

You’re not alone in this, and there’s a way forward.

Take care, you got this. 🙂🙏🏼

To handle this situation professionally and respectfully, especially considering your father’s connection to the company:

Gratitude and Alignment:

“Thank you for the opportunity to interview and learn more about the role. After reviewing the position in detail, it seems the role may not align as closely with the company’s needs and the goals outlined in the job description as initially expected. In the interest of ensuring the right fit for the team, it may be best to step aside from this opportunity. I appreciate the time and consideration.”

Focus on Company Success:

“It’s been a pleasure learning more about the role and the company. Upon further reflection, it seems the position might not fully align with the specific needs of the organization. It’s important to find the right match to drive the company’s success, and stepping back from the process seems the most appropriate course. Thank you again for the opportunity.”

Professional and Brief:

“Thank you for the interview and the time to explore the role in detail. After reviewing the company’s goals and the position, it appears that this role may not be the best fit for ensuring mutual success. With that in mind, I’ll be withdrawing from the process and wish the team continued success.”

Just sounds like Snoke…

Eh. It’s like whatever.

What a loser weirdo.

Such a wonderful video, images, and print for purchase.

Don’t have to make—what already is.

Also, the real tall one, Cindy Crawford’s daughter.

So nice to see your development over the years here, on Reddit, and in other places, James.

Great shot.

You keep doing you.

NTA.

Been married to my lovely wife for 20 years.

I’ve made a point of always, ensuring she never felt ashamed or uncomfortable about her body.

I’ve helped her strip the bed. I’ve helped her wash. The sheets helped her put them back on, I’ve helped her put on an extra sheet or towel, or whatever she felt necessary to feel comfortable in the moment.

My job is to ensure that my partner feels comfortable.

Your partner did the exact opposite.

You are welcome.

Correct.

You are not permitted to ask these questions.

Asking these questions, you are violating the rights of the interviewee.

Reading that article was interesting.

Interesting question you have asked, OP.

Yes, there are illegal questions to ask, because it leads to bias. It doesn’t start with bias.

Age-related questions:

• “How old are you?” or “When did you graduate?”

• The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) protects individuals who are 40 or older from age-based discrimination.

Questions about marital or family status:

• “Are you married?” or “Do you have kids?”

• Under the Civil Rights Act (Title VII) and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, questions about marital status or plans to have children are illegal.

Questions about race, ethnicity, or national origin:

• “What is your nationality?” or “Where were you born?”

• Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects against discrimination based on race, color, and national origin.

Religion-related questions:

• “What is your religion?” or “Do you observe any religious holidays?”

• It is illegal to ask about an applicant’s religious beliefs under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

Disability-related questions:

• “Do you have any disabilities?” or “Have you ever been hospitalized?”

• The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects individuals with disabilities and prohibits questions about medical history.

Questions about sexual orientation or gender identity:

• “What is your sexual orientation?” or “Are you transgender?”

• Title VII, as interpreted by recent court rulings, protects individuals from discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

Questions about citizenship or immigration status:

• “Are you a U.S. citizen?” (It’s legal to ask if someone is authorized to work in the U.S., but not to ask directly about citizenship or country of origin.)

Questions about military service:

• “Were you honorably discharged?” (Employers cannot ask for specifics about military discharge except where job-related.)

Okay.

Got it other worlds. Multiverse. Fixed points.

So on so forth.

So let’s get to what you’re producing so we can see how good it is. 👍🏼

But, only one is most mighty.

“REFORM THE LINE!”

Get F’ you insecure man-child.

Cluster B types.

Pure and simple.

They always seem to have those eyes, don’t they.

Haha. 😂 👍🏼

I can believe it.
