If you haven’t heard this cliche while discussing your neurodivergency with someone, then I envy your luck. Yesterday I fucked up, I feel shitty, but also I am pissed.

Our brains are impulsive af and tend to forget the most important information. We mess up, our RSD (and empathy) kicks in, we feel terrible, we vow to be more careful, but guess what? Thats fucking exhausting.

As a result, we start overthinking our every waking moment, stressing over every little thing. Because, we are trying to be aware of the things we cannot perceive.

At some point, hopefully we realize that we cannot live like that, and we start to arbitrarily ignore our compulsion to overthink. Most often that works out great because most often the threat is not real, but sometimes we make the wrong call.

The times we overthink are still more than the times we do not, and we still mess up. Let us have our fucking peace.

    Lol sure, you could neglect your children, that’s always an option. Makes you a bad person though. Potentially a criminal too, depends on the exact nature of the neglect.

      In the case of children i would say that having them in the first place(in majority of cases) is a promise that they can rely on you so it is kind of a bad example

        Exactly. I was talking about just not having children if you know you can’t properly take care of them. Result is no responsibility/obligations. It must’ve been known beforehand that one is unreliable, and thus this needs to be taken into account for the decision to have kids.
