Opened AE and actually made notable progress on a new project for the first time in perhaps a year #HighFunctioning #Overachiever #SufferingFromSuccess #GiftedKid #Workaholic #BusyBee #Busybody
Sigh. I can probably count on two hands the amount of times I’ve been shown “concern” as a young person by people of this ilk that wasn’t in some way supposed to be corrective or absolutely patronising
You could almost mistake them for truly caring with how insistent they are on “protecting the kids from all the scary stuff” girl I need protected from the environment that YOU are trying to foster by telling me to bend a knee to it
Waking up and knowing I’ll have to pretend to everyone that I’m not predicting I’m going to completely waste the day or else I’ll be seen as a self-pitying quitter and risk being given up on
I like to think I’m surrounded by people who are understanding of me regardless of what I have or have not done but like urgh. I feel like I’m on the track to really damaging my own life and inconveniencing others in the process and it is really frustrating and anxiety-inducing
