Hi mint

Hey! It's been awhile 😊
-
Have we met once before? I have bad memory
-
Oh this is a new account. I was on the forums back in like 2014ish and I think we talked then!
-
Cool then! How goes it?
-
It goes well! Very tired but that's the name of the game
How are you? It's been awhile -
Wow two jobs and I'm still only getting 20 a week. That's insane. The recession is so bad for small businesses 😓

"what is the ideal human?
This is the question I've spent a lot of time wondering about lately. -
I tried to think of the kinds of people I admire. They are different to me so I am trying to manufacture their qualities. Biggest thing I wish I had was natural charisma and execution confidence.
That's simple to understand though. My natural qualities hinge on Fi and Ne. I'm trying to developed Si and Te. Knowing the logic behind it doesn't make the work to get there any easier though -
Today I was trying to approach the idea from a less robust point of view and more of an sensitive one.. I thought about my dyslexia and how that's a "flaw" but then I thought about correcting that "flaw." I was thinking about correcting everyone's perceived "flaws."
At some point you stop getting humans and you end up with machines. I don't think it's wrong to strive for excellence but it's important for me to remember that just as I celebrate everyone around me for what makes them unique I need to celebrate my own strengths and quirks too -
Anyone who reads that might think it's very cringe or stereotypical but it's genuinely something I've been putting a lot of thought into.

I think it's a lot of societal pressure too you know? Anyone here who knows the struggles of being neurodivergent in the workforce knows how at times your employer treat you terribly simply just because you don't possess the qualities that they deem to be valuable. Society values you based off how much money you can make them.

I wonder how much of me wanting to be the "ideal human" is really what I want and how much of it is a trauma response.
They say fake it til you make it with confidence but how can I do that without actively masking or repressing my trauma? Hmmmm now I have more thoughts to think about -
Tori amos's cover of smells like teen spirit has to be an all time favorite for me. It's absolutely perfect in every way
