Reply to comment by Smooth-Mulberry4715 in [Text] How do you fix your life in your 30s after wasting about 8 years unemployed and living with family by sleeplessbearr

None of the health care providers I've seen (doctors, therapists, and shrinks) had a clue how to diagnose ADHD. I don't have any options until I get a job, but I was hoping someone could tell me what to look for. Is there a word for a provider that specializes in it?

No matter how much you want it to be otherwise, your opinion of yourself doesn’t mean shit. I mean, it does to you, but the only one that’s you is yourself.

Your opinion of yourself is hugely, incomprehensibly outweighed by everyone else’s perception of you, which is why, essentially, only outside perspectives matter regarding what sort of person you are.

This was my first thought as well. I'm not afraid of failing because of others. I'm afraid of putting in time and effort and getting nowhere, repeatedly. I'm afraid of confronting reality about my own limitations.

The self-help, blanket statement mantra: "Other People's Opinions Are None of Your Business" is ridiculously simplistic and misleading.

Was more concerned with falling than what other people thought, but that was me. Have zero interest in what other people think.
