IIRC, heart attack is the “default” way if the cause of death is not specified, so supposedly I can write that Jane Doe dies peacefully in her sleep.

Interesting response for someone with your username

But I agree. I would probably use it as voluntary euthanasia tool for painful incurable disease/condition.

Have you tried to engage your core more? edit: Sorry in advance for the reddit link, but here you go https://old.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/1h4j9sl/tifu_by_never_using_my_core_muscles_for_thirty/

I think finding a community of people from your country might help alleviate some of the homesickness.

Maybe check/follow your ambassador social media and see if they have any event?

Sorry for the late answer and the text wall

1. Depends on the severity and how much they know about my avoidance habit. I would say sorry (as genuine as I can) and told them about my problem (or most likely make up a believable one that neurotypical person can accept) that made me unable to respond to them in timely manner. That it is wholly a Me problem and not a You problem. I would try my best to complete what they ask of me or help them with something else just to keep it even. This vulnerability talk will exhaust your mental energy tbh, some people will definitely have negative reaction and rightfully so, especially in professional setting. Tho some bridges have been burnt so bad I don’t even try 🫠 Still, it’s very much worth it, rather than spiralling down to depression town, sinking in the guilty mud trap.
2. I too wish I have an answer for this one. If you have the means, try finding out the reason. Maybe it’s ADHD, maybe it’s AvPD, maybe it’s both, neither, or something else. So far, applying CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) has helped me improve, but it’s not a bulletproof solution. My avoidance mostly comes from my tendency to be a perfectionist (which comes from past experience, upbringing, yadda yadda), so I try to accept that sometimes it is okay to be flawed, to disappoint, to not try my best for someone else’s sake just to get their approval. Try to have healthy habits that improve mood/health. I also try not to spend too much time inside all day without actual human interaction, because I can definitely get more anxious when I haven’t interact with real people (actual interaction face-to-face, not text/chat with people online) to keep me grounded.

Just keep on keeping on one step at a time.

I used to think white wall and floor are just too basic, but having stayed in my friend’s almost-all-black studio apartment made me appreciate how easy it is in white/bright-themed bathroom to see any impending cockroach before it crawls on any of my limbs :(

It would be a clever move from Paradox if they’re actually not stopping the development now that EA is cancelling The Sims 5.

Ghosting someone (multiple really) when I just couldn’t handle all the things they expect me to do. It’s childish and very much my own mistake for not being clear with my boundary and overestimating my mental energy.

Slowly making it up one person to the next.

You just gotta prepare something for their birthday next year. No need for something big, just thoughtful. Add a sincere apology or two and I’m sure they will appreciate it.

I also tend to forget someone’s birthday other than my partner and immediate family so I just put them in my calendar. No more accidentally forget about friends’ birthday, unless I’m really busy and my ADHD acting up.

Can I be your friend?

In general, I mostly focus on pet > plants > bathroom > kitchen > everything else.

Wait, I don’t get it. The alternative that the guy propose sounds like a win-win though? What if one of them likes vacuuming twice a week and the other once every month? What’s the right way to divide it fairly?

(I’m a woman who vacuum as needed.)

As a leecher with atrocious upload speed. Thank you so much for your service.

(I almost though this is a One Piece bait question.)

But seriously, yes I will, without hesitation. If I don’t take it, someone else might and I won’t even have a job as a geologist or genealogist.

Yes, because I need Adobe to do my meh wage part-time job in developing country from my one and only working laptop and I don’t have the luxury of surplus money, time, and mental energy to do anything about it.

But I get your point. If I have the means, I will fix my broken Thinkpad and definitely install Linux there the first chance I get. Either that or Adobe finally release Linux version, which will probably be released after Half-Life 3.

I can’t wait to try Endeavor (so I can finally be an obnoxious person who say “I used Arch^{-based distro}, btw”)
