I do Uber in a tourist area during peak times. And I feel this comment.
Weekdays it's silence other than the NPR radio talking points. Friday to Sunday it's chatter that I submit to in fear of losing out on the seldom tip.
My disassociations are boring. I basically just stand there while I'm swept away by my chaotic stream of thoughts.
But, I somehow figured out if I let things get super chaotic, it becomes background noise and I'm suddenly meditating. As an added bonus my brain decided that would be my pain response, so now my pain tolerance is crazy high (like getting a vasectomy without anesthesia and only saying ouch under my breath a few times).
Mask at work and chaos at home!
I stopped masking at work and it was one of the most liberating things i did in life
I think this division exists in any population that has something other people call a "disorder". There's always the yeah I have it, go fuck yourself group and the no no no, I'm totally normal just like you group.
I'm one of the "fuck it lmao" types and I wouldn't change it for anything. Life is suffering, but I'm also very easily amused and thrive in chaos.
Huh. I guess I'm the fuckit type. I got no patience for pretending to not be me. Not anymore.
(No, it (really) isn't.)
Type 2 here. I literally just walked out of a therapists office who essentially said exactly this.
Totally type 1 here. People even ask if I’m ok when I’m not random and chaotic as shit.
