  • 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’m very interested, would like to have family dinner tradition too when/if I start a family. I just don’t have any idea how to start. Can you tell me more how does the routine go? Like, who is responsible for what? Do you cook/buy dinner? What are the do’s and don’ts while having dinner? How to enforce it while making sure everyone enjoy this routine? What kind of obligations are okay as an excuse to not participate?

    I know it’s too many questions, just the gist of it is fine.







  • This is the most comprehensive strategy that I can vouch for.

    Done all of them.

    I would say, the last one is underrated but very much useful not just for getting over a crush but for personal growth in general, which is a lifetime skill.

    You’d be surprised by how many adults don’t understand themselves or even avoid doing self-reflection. In consequences, stumble upon the same problem again and again without taking different/better approach to handle them.


  • 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.

    &lt;you won't regret this &quot;NSFW&quot; meme, i guarantee&gt;

    I’m interested in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade just because I never had the opportunity to fully experience FFVII as a kid because I was not the rich cool kid with PS1. I want to judge by meself who is the best girl haha
