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.

Very cool! I hope this is this part of a set 🤩

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?

Do you have any good resource for beginner to learn about this?

I know I play video games much less now, but it is not because of the lack of interest, just time and energy.

Always hesitated to start playing when all I can think about are my responsibilities. The one time I tried playing the new Stardew Valley-like game, I Loved it but also not, because it was suddenly 3 AM on Monday 🥲

If I suddenly have 1 million in my bank account, I'm sure I'll find my passion for video games back hah

There are many games that I still can't wait to play and I'm in my mid 30s too. Then again, I care more about story and characters than (fast-paced) gameplay so maybe that's why?

I always upvote unexpected Homestuck. 👍

Also agree it is a banger.

Just want to report that I don't have this problem with my lemdro.id account using Voyager app. Not sure why.

Iirc someone said it's because of the different version?

Hi, really love your positive vibes <3

Something cool that happened to me this year? I would say meeting my LDR partner after not seeing him for almost a full year!!! The best thing is, the LDR part was so painless because I just fully trust him and his commitment to the relationship.

I have some hydrohomies and/or dad jokes memes saved but this one just absolutely got me.

<you won't regret this "NSFW" meme, i guarantee>

I'm interested in Strange Horticulture because it is in my wishlist for awhile! :D

Edit: Changed the game I picked and remove any mention of previous game. 👍

~~This is the perfect example of "things physically attractive people can do to strangers without negative consequences."~~

Edit: in retrospect, I think this statement is true for people that are intentionally meeting each other (as long as they don't smile unprovoked too much, attractive or not).

I'm from Indonesia and it's common to see distinctively different kind of pears. There are pears that are significantly yellow even when ripe, they are also more round-shaped than the usual pear-shaped pear.

Sometimes they can be more crunchy like apple.

Tbh I don't know the exact name, I just called them "yellow pear."

How is it compared to other note taking software such as Logseq or Joplin (if you ever tried them too)?
