​@@missmericana I mean you can walk , unles your door has those locks with screen that has a code lock pin thingy that are probably super expensive

Where does he live? 'cause I live in a city and you can't juse "go outside your house" for fun, you only go out if you have to, there's no point going outside for fun if someone is going to stab and rob you or hit you with their car. Maybe if you live in a nice little rural town with 2000 people who all know each other and there's no crime, but it's 2023, in urban societies you go outside on the street sparingly, unless you're totally comfortable with being shot if someone thinks you looked at them the wrong way, which, surprisingly, ost of us aren't comfortable with, so you can't blame people. Like the actual privilege honestly, of living somewhere so nice you don't have to worry about gang crime and people driving on meth while you're trying to walk to the store, but understand it's not as simple as "lol go outside bro" in most parts of this world, there are even countries where you can't go outside at certain times, it's literally illegal.

Pretty much bi-monthly I decide that I’m only negatively fueling my ADHD with my smart phone and seriously consider switching to an old school flip phone. Then I immediately start to rationalize why I ‘need’ my phone and hyperventilate at the idea of not being able to immediately find info about the random questions I simply ‘need’ answered. Ya know, like who the actor in the movie I’m watching is currently dating, or why was the tapeworm diet a real thing, or what areas have the highest amount of light/noise pollution. I think after I get unpacked I might make one of the cardboard boxes into a makeshift phone ‘time out’ box. (Psh, yeah right 🙄)

Fr!! I also have adhd and I fkn hate that shit

@@loveitftw I have ADHD and I love it, I bow down to the capitalist overlords who want to monetize my mental disorder, they definitely know what’s best

Facebook/IG ads don't have settings to target people based on things like that. There's a lot that's against their policies, and things like diagnosis are definitely not one of the interests you can select. These ads are most likely targeted based on age/school situation, and then the more you engage with them, the more you'll get. Also, you can go into your settings and see all the topics you're being targeted based on, and you can eliminate the ones that you don't want to be targeted by. Facebook is absolutely scummy but there's a lot you can do to personalize your "experience" on the app, people just don't know about it.

I KNOW RIGHT it's like "an app won't just get rid of my brain"

The most annoying part is they show up as "free" apps with "in app purchases" but they're actually fully subscription based and they waste my time 🙃

Don't say that around former alcoholics, though.

This is how an addiction works

I think its when its viewed as sonething like ‘just watching youtube’ all day on your phone, but also failing to take into account that youtube is both free and full of educational and helpful/insightful content. Like yeah, watching a ton of stuff on a screen before bed isnt great for you, but so is doing just about anything else thats not just laying down with your eyes closed.

​@@indecentthinking That is not true in fact getting up to do something for 30 mins when you are lying in bed but can't sleep is like the first recommended shrinks and docs recommend. The problem is the kind of content and the amount of it. Screentime I silent the issue its that most of what people spend doing on their phone is incredibly unproductive. I don't know how you are misinterpreting that. I don't think anyone is claiming that using your phone to listen to music while you run is bad for you etc.

Tv and video games are also included in screen time btw. It's a distraction and doesn't engage the brain the way reading, crosswords, jogging etc. Being outside instantly improves my mood instead of being on the internet which is 90% toxic discourse. Plus I worry about all our spines. Looking down like that for hours upon hours upon hours is going to really fuck us up when we get old.

@@taliag09 that says more about your use of the medium than the medium itself. Again, there is more to the internet than twitter and tiktok, just like there's more to tv than gogglebox and more to videogames than fortnite. I feel a lot better staying at home experiencing an amazing story in an indie game than going outside and seeing all the chavscum that live in my town or breathing exhaust fumes and cigarette smoke.

@@taliag09 I'm sorry but if you think video games are 'just a distraction' you have never played an rpg ...or a strategy game... or a puzzle platformer. Video games are the sole reason why I have dedicated 100k+ words to writing fanfiction and countless hours to reading it.

adult ADHD ruins lives honestly

Yes. There really needs to be more help for adults with ADHD. Do they think it just goes away when we're older??

Its so stigmatized as the "little boy" disorder. Its so frustrating.

Thanks to those ads I will never be sure if I seriously have ADHD or I just think I have it to explain problems I face.

@@cyjanek7818 I think it's always like this. There are a few people who are allergic to gluten or lactose or etc. but since 90% of the people claiming to be allergic are lying just to be quirky or to receive more attention etc. the people with the real problem suffer from the banalization of their struggles. All the people claiming to have ADHD because they don't want to admit they are just lazy are undermining the efforts of the people with real ADHD struggling with their day to day life. We already saw this with the "autistic spectrum" which is real... for some, but not for a lot claiming to be "on the spectrum". This is my personal opinion, based on common sense.

I've been loving crochet lately - it's perfect for keeping my hands and part of my brain busy whilst i occupy the rest of my brain with screen time :) (I probably have ADHD too, naturally) If I wasn't so against letting myself keep sharp things, I'd probably love needle felting - it's a hobby based on just stabbing things till you like them. And socially acceptable and legal stabby stabbies are very fun.

I sew or draw, but I always have a video playing in the background 😨

I love carrying around a tiny little notebook to take out whenever I have the impulse to reach for my phone instead. I saw someone do that in a RU-vid video, and I just thought it was such a neat way to replace that impulse with something less distracting

I also love doing crochet to occupy my hands! I especially love large projects like blankets because they are such a mindless repetitive stitch. I often crochet while in a lecture or when listening to music, podcasts, video essays, and streams. It’s super great to just have something to keep you busy, and for me, helps me to keep from spacing out in class lol

You find the perfect place to put contour by sucking in your cheeks. It helps you see where the hollows of your cheeks naturally are and where the natural shadow would fall. Always blend upwards and towards the ear and the outer face because towards the nose, cheeks tend to be less sunken in. I hope that can be somewhat helpful for the next time you contour!

YOOO Tourette's gang! The dopamine theory is irritating, I'm not gonna make myself depressed to stop ticcing. Also if you don't mind me asking, how did you go about managing your anxiety? Terrible coprolalia on my end

I have OCD and my parents refuse to accept that the obsessive behavior was developed because for years I had no idea how to manage my stress. Just refusing to give into my compulsive need to count every part of the door 3 times before I leave the room wouldn’t make it go away. It just means I have no stress output and fighting my compulsions makes me super stressed. Meaning I’m compelled to do it more I dunno if your situation is super similar but I can imagine you relate

As someone who got diagnosed with ADHD, I've learned the greatest medicine for it is reading, painting, playing instruments, going outside, and NOT GOING ON MY PHONE!

​@Skylark as someone who's had ADHD since way before the internet was everywhere (and there weren't gonna be smartphones for another decade or 2), those things do not treat ADHD. It's present all the time. Doing things you like to do are always easier to focus on than things you *need* to do. Painting and going outside will help 0 ADHD people focus in math class or manage our time better or prioritize tasks without it constantly being a struggle.

I feel this. I don't think people realise that adhd can absolutely cripple your day to day life. do you think I WANT to be lying on the sofa staring at the ceiling for an hour mentally berating myself because I can't get up and do the dishes? of course not. it's not a choice, it's horrible

@@flyinginthewind111 Those things can be very helpful with mindfulness which can be a useful practice for people with ADHD, but they aren't replacements for therapy, medicine, or other proven coping mechanisms. Helpful? yes because they are good for the human body, but not ADHD specific

​@@wormofalltime ADHD doesn't make you incapable of moving your body or performing tasks that don't even require directed focus. If you're laying in bed for hours while ruminating about things you should do but can't get yourself to do them at all, that sounds more like depression.

deadass when I stopped using social media like that, my mental health got so much better. I try to use it sparingly now as a treat, like someone who cares about their physical health would do with junk food

i used to have my feed carefully cultivated to only show me fanart and non-discourse fan posts, but ever since twt became barely held together with duct tape and i started getting bombarded with drama, i realized this is 100% true. i've gone from being on the app all day, to only spending short 10-15 minute bursts once or twice a day to check for new art since i know if i spend more time i end up just getting upset and frustrated.

yessss same, for me it was when the Russia-urkaine war started and I felt bad not looking every day. but then you just realize that no, you're not a bad person for doing X thing and it's fine to prioritize your own mental health. glad you got off that gross site

@@mysideacc2770 my twt feed used to be more curated too. I would spend 2hours like Drew since all I ever encountered were cats and things I personally found funny (plus the occasional politics or brain dead takes) but now since Elon’s taken over, my feed has been littered with sports for some reason so I never use Twitter anymore.

For me it was rooted in the fear that if I stop, I’ll lose track of the conversation and be outcast. Not just that I’d be left behind, but that stopping looking at discourse for even a moment would make me slip up and commit faux pass. Internet discourse moves so fast, and once something is decided everyone likes to pretend that they knew it all along. To not know is to show vulnerability, and once you’re vulnerable you will be cannibalized by the colony. What helped me is remembering that a whole world exists outside internet discourse. Even if I commit internet faux pass, I’m still safe, I’m still here, I’m still breathing. Nothing material has changed, and I have a support system of people outside of niche internet communities who also exist and breath and live just like I do. Remembering this makes social media feel much less urgent, and curbs my desire to open and scroll.

@@nicomoist5336 100% I am a tumblr evangelist for life. I recommend it to all my friends who say they hate twitter but never delete it

I stopped using Twitter more than a year and a half ago, and my mental health went up significantly!! It felt like going on Twitter was a part time job for me and I'm glad I never go there anymore😎❗

I have twitter to just see what other things the ppl I follow do, and I don’t know how or why, but every. Single. Day. I get a notification from twitter that’s about Taylor swift, and now it’s Dan and Phil. I don’t interact w their content or fans, so I have no clue how it happened and it’s so annoying. Also yeah, twitter sucks, and it’s a bug vortex of negativity

go further... delete your acct... before a major data breach that is. At least Tumblr doesn't coast you to log in to use it. Also tiddies are back

I mean it’s kinda required to have a phone, for work, for personal life, and for enjoyment. And if you don’t you’ll be made fun of. No one should feel guilty for being attached to their phones, the only guilty people all the phone and app companies exploiting that attachment

@@placeholderdoe I don't think it's good to accept the fact that you're addicted to your phone and not feel any guilt about it. The dependency and constant need for stimulation that we experience is unhealthy and damaging in so many ways.

@@hava8563 I agree that it’s unhealthy, but the guilt isn’t on us. It’s the people who designed the phones and apps to make them addictive and continue to

What about just listening to a podcast or music or a video, while doing something else? I feel like that's sort of a good compromise for me where I don't feel under-stimulated OR as if I'm wasting my life. Seek out educational content and also do something productive IRL at the same time. On a side note, phones suck compared to using a laptop IMO, and I figure the only reason they got popular is because other people aren't on disability and actually need to leave their homes every day. Remember visiting actual websites on actual computers?

He described my experience and exact attachment to twitter to a T. I hate it and everyone is dumb and it just makes me angry but I can’t help but get sucked into the anger vortex. So I finally log out to cleanse my mind then am hit with this overwhelming fear that people are going to say something about me and I won’t be there to see it and defend myself. So I log back in and get sucked in all over again. It’s a disease lol.

Its literally a business tactic more then a pro consumer move though. Binge watching on the other end does give the consumer more power and is a move that favors them more. The weekly releases and having the people do the marketing for the companies and be the hype machine for the shows to feel part of an artificial sense of community is in their favor, not ours.

​@@charpool169 Oh, fully aware that is a business tactic and, for me, there's nothing wrong with it. It is not a zero sum game, as long as people enjoy it. I'm happy with the trade off of less choosing power (on whether to watch 1 or 5 episodes at a time) from time to time to be able to create a ritual with friends and talk about a certain episode on twitter.

Honestly that's how I feel about content creators getting early access to games. The internet will be spoiling it left and right, meanwhile I'm unable to play it for at least another week.

Too bad HBO is getting rid of a lot the shows that would foster that community

I hate it when shows that are steaming only release weekly and I can’t choose when to watch them or skip around, but at the same time I don’t like it when TV shows are filmed like a 12 hour movie ie with binging in mind
