In This Viral Thread, People Are Exchanging Tips And Hacks For Living A Better Life (30 Answers)

This is why I tell myself to literally bite my lip. I have ADHD, and I get so excited to share. I do listen and process, I just get too excited.

One that I haven't seen on this list is ride a bike, scooter or skateboard for at least 30 minutes per day. The air rushing past your face REALLY clears your mind!

Birds..."Henry! Are you listening to me!?"

Any advice for adhd people?

Which is super hard to do when you're talking to someone you just met and you're so preoccupied with overthinking your own behavior that you forget why tf are you two even talking in the first place 😅

I knew I didn't want children. I met a man who didn't want them and he's my best friend.

Sadly this is not true. There are some places where women have little to no reproductive rights. If they are raped, and a baby is conceived they have no choice in the matter at all. There are other places where women who choose not to have children are refused medical treatment to prevent them becoming pregnant.

Depends on where you live...

You have to have kids, they said. You'll regret not having kids, they said. Lemme check, nope, no regrets here. Just because I have a uterus doesn't mean I must procreate.

I know, but tell it to those dumb people who think everyone have to have children and keep bothering and insulting those who don't want to.

I mean ... I'm really mean to myself but I wouldn't tell people what I think about! Sometimes I wish people could trade places, but still think what the other person thinks, yk? People could realize what having other mental disorders is like, it could be helpful for people . It could help a lot of people, like me.

I really think this one is something all of us needed to hear. I appreciate you, OP!

I am currently working on this with my therapist! Self talk is so important I had no idea how badly I talk to myself until I became aware of it.

Nah. I don't think I'll ever talk to myself in any way different than what I'm doing now. My kindness is for the people who deserve it, not for myself. I don't give a f**k about myself nearly enough for that.

No, I am obliged to be in contact with parents. Hard to explain but that is how it is

Just stated this before. Blood relation does not mean you have to stick around to be a punching bag.

I have minimal contact with my family, I mostly see my mom, and I am very happy. I realized I do not owe my family anything.

You don't have to put up with abuse, especially from a family member.

Love this. I'll add that it's also ok to change your opinions over time as you gain experience or learn from others. It seems to me that many people believe that we're supposed to pick an opinion to hold for life, never question it, and be willing to go to all out war over it. That mentality seems very unhealthy to me.

I took it a step further and decided not to have an opinion on anything!

you don’t have to lean one way or the other. the world is not just black and white

Looking at you, BMW drivers.

A middle finger is NOT a turn signal

And properly, too. If you got blinkers on and turning a left, I will not know you're actually making a "U-y".

My favorite is when someone uses one and then turns in the opposite direction. On my life, it happens weekly on my drive to work and home.

lol I know this girl and she always forgets when she’s turning left.

But not if your overweight or a woman because then "you're just fat" or "you're just emotional"

boy I keep complaining about this, and my stomach hurts all the time. I've been to like 6 different specialist, including two gastroenterologists. NO ONE KNOWS WHATS WRONG. I'm starting to give up and accept being in pain. I'm also starting to think that they're not listening to me...

Absolutely! I ignored symptoms for so long because 'Suck it up'. Finally got so bad i went to Doc and found out i had stage 3 colorectal cancer. Cancer is gone but so are parts of my digestive system. If I had gone in right away, I might not have been stuck with a colostomy bag for life. Still incredibly grateful for all my doctors and nurses who helped me stay above ground and sucking wind!!

When you are female, most doctors don’t care to listen. If the iron levels in Your blood aren’t low, “you just need to exercise more, lose weight, try to relax, etc., etc.”

Great , I'll get right on that as soon as my PowerBall numbers come up.

'I'm sorry, that just doesnt work for me' is also a good way to get out of things.

It is easy, except that there are people who won't accept it and who will try to punish you for it in all kinds of annoying and even dangerous ways. It helps to be prepared for how you'll deal with guilt trips and other manipulative reactions.
