Can you self diagnose yourself?

[habitualhealth]

If so, I have ADD.

I can't tell you the number of people who come in my office and start talking to me about randomness and I seriously stare a hole straight through them.

They walk away feeling like we've bonded and I, for the life of me, can't wrap my head around one word they said.

I'm pretty sure I feel guilty about it.

 

[patsfan1379]

what?

 

[jnevin]

I think you're probably just a dingbat.

 

[ksharp01]

omg! I feel like that all the time with customers but for me I think it is because they are telling me things that I really don't care about. I know that sounds ugly but who goes to there insurance agent and tells them personal stuff about family & income?

Family and income are, more likely than not, the reason they have insurance.

 

[mountain muscle]

You suffer from "Don't give a shit."

Trust me, it is a blessing.

I feel guilty because often my husband will be engaging in a converation (i.e. he is talking) and I'm totally not with it. I'm not listening at all. In fact, at times, im totally in the middle of doing something else or putting my attention to something else besides what he's talking about. But luckily, he is steadfast and nothing can keep him down. When he has something to say, by God he's going to keep on talking. I admite his perseverance. Sometimes, though, I have said, Im really sorry but Im not listening to a word youre saying right now. Im prety sure he keeps on talking. Luckily he loves me anyway.

okay smarta@@, no that is not what they tell me! I hear how much they make or don't make and what family member just went to jail and for what...I mean seriously personal stuff you wouldn't just tell anyone. What can I say the me!

 

[habitualhealth]

I'm sorry, were you saying something?

Haha. I've had a few people actually say to me "Um, you're not listening to a word I'm saying are you?"


Me: "Huh? I'm looking right at you, doesn't that count?".

How about when you forget things on a routine basis that you just thought about a minute earlier? Like I'll be brushing my teeth and see a letter on the table that I have to mail, and by the time I'm done brushing my teeth I'm out the door......without the letter. Or when I'm cooking eggs on the stove and then go to my computer to check my email, then start surfing and only when I either smell the eggs burning or get thirsty and go to the kitchen for a drink do I realize I had food cooking. I could give many examples but I won't.

You're married, it doesn't count....you're expected to ignore your mate.
The important question is,"Do you listen to people who matter?"

Re-reading........reading some more....yep, i'm pretty sure nothing I posted fit any of these symptoms.

not learning from experience
no sense of responsibility
inability to form meaningful relationships
inability to control impulses
lack of moral sense
chronically antisocial behavior
no change in behavior after punishment
emotional immaturity
lack of guilt
self-centeredness

Besides....I have more friends than you do, so there.

 

[Smurfy]

That's me. 100%

I have been known to say calmly to both my husband and son - LOOK GUYS. HOWAZABOUT WE HAVE 5 MINUTES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO TALKING? CAN WE MANAGE THAT? YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS YAPPING ON ABOUT SOMETHING. HOW ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF PEACE? I THINK I DESERVE AT LEAST THAT. THANKS

I SAY and do the EXACT same thing to my wife. However, she doesn't just keep on talking, she storms off all pissed off that I just said that. Good times, good times.

You never listen to me, I just need to be heard! Just wondering how many times she said that to you? and also has she tried the crying guilt trip on you? That one usually works on me!

lol luckily my husband loves me enough to understand, just as I understand his need to verbalize just about every thought running through his very active and high functioning brain

No - that doesn't work. Not on something as trivial as this and she knows this.

Self diagnosing is the mother of all navel gazing you want the truth go to a certified shrink.

soaked. i don't know what's wrong with that girl. she can't keep any liquids in her mouth. by the time we left, her shirt looked like the floor of a mens toilet.





i wish she had worn a bra.

So this morning Im trying to get everyone ready to head out the door by 9am. Im getting breakfast ready for myself and my son, etc, going about my busniess - I like efficiency. And lumberg is doing his usual talking, and talking, and talking. I tell him politely - yeah, Im totally uninterested in Borat or anything having to do with that movie. He goes "yeah", And he keeps on yammering and yammering on about it. For like a straight 20 minutes following me around the house while Im doing my stuff and he's like reciting scenes or something, which is weird since we have not seen the movie. But eventually, my son and I are like wtf he has not shut up since he came downstair after waking up. We all kind of laugh about it, but I did tell him - it's considered impolite to talk incessantly when clearly your target audience is not interested.

Do not go to shrinks. Biggest mistake I ever made.

I wouldn't do that if I got paid $100/hour. And I need the money.

My wife is like you. I'll be talking & she won't hear a word I said. But Lord help me if I ignore her.
