Tag yourself, I’m figure #4 today. 🫠
I’m mash up of 2 and 5.
I wanna be a 3.
But I’m a 2.
I’ve heard that suffering is found in the gap between what is and what’s desired. I am also a 2.
I too wish I was fabulous…
Today my best is not disturbing my sleeping cat who is sitting on my lap
Not all heroes wear capes.
This is a household trump card.
When one person has a cat all of their requests must be obeyed.
Too bad my family and employer don’t see it that way.
That’s when you think of Homer Simpson. “Lisa, if you don’t like your job, you don’t strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That’s the American way.”
Some wise, tortured soul once put this more succinctly than I ever could have. Yes, it’s in the context of mental illness but it applies just as well to all sorts of neurodivergent conditions.
The worst part of having a mental illness is that people expect you to behave as if you don’t.
I needed to see this today. Thank you.
But… does it bother anyone else that there are 6 words yet the person is only in 5 positions? Or did they transcend their body and become the sun one day?
They did the text on one day and the drwaings on another day…
Yes, this made me want to commit arson. Thanks for reminding me.
Does anybody really do their best every day? Fuck that shit lmfao.
Do appropriate work, appropriate leisure, treat yoself when you can. And most of all, use your resources like meds and CBT so you don’t shit on yourself constantly.
Taking the L graciously goes a long way in life lol.
I think it’s all about how you define and measure “best.” A lot of us are subconsciously using other people’s definitions of “best” and throwing it on ourselves. That doesn’t always work, and here’s why:
A Prius can technically join NASCAR, but should it? No—it’s better used for saving gas. There’s other cars out there that are built for racing (but not too gas-efficient). And neither a Prius or a NASCAR car should drive through a tornado, but we have extreme weather cars made for that purpose.
One big problem in our society is that people who feel successful tend to project their own experiences on others without taking the time to put themselves in other people’s shoes. “What do you mean? It was so easy for me, if you can’t do it then you must be choosing to fail at life and therefore you’re a bad person.” Then, those that don’t feel successful tend to take on this standard set by others who seem to be more successful than themselves. The problem with this is that everyone is in a different place with strengths, skill levels, growth, life circumstances, and more that make things require more or less effort from us.
Everyone’s 100% is different from person to person and with different life circumstances. For me growing up, I was constantly running at 150% overdrive which was someone else’s relaxed 75%. You can only go so long at 150%, and it’s even worse when you’re giving that much but believe and were told that you are only giving 75%. On the contrary, my 75% effort writing code or analyzing every ingredient on products that I buy would be 150% for someone else.
My point is, maybe “Doing appropriate work” like you said is actually “Doing my best work.” And maybe we need to pay attention to others a little bit more so we can see that.

Right, but you are choosing to do that, nobody else lol. And if you’re choosing to do that constantly and you’re pretending like you’re not, that’s still a you issue.
Very, very, very few people are giving it their all or their best every week, let alone daily, or at home.
Recognizing others have it hard means nothing because they aren’t mind readers lol.
Nobody knows what anybody is feeling or going through in life. People themselves barely know that. Expecting others to give you some sort of virtual nod of the head means nothing. Triply so if you’ve never articulated it or ask for help.
Nobody has 100% to give.
If all you got is 40%, and you gave it 40%, you gave it your all.
Yup yup yup
Everyday is actually an adjective. Should be two points, one for ‘every’ and another for ‘day’.</pedantry>
Posting a graph with neither the X or Y access labeled to a sub about Autism should be considered a war crime.
