A collection of alternate Game of Thrones names that my phone has decided to invent, taken from my twitter account today.

I added a few more of these because I’m so excited for the finale, and my phone is still giving me ridiculous autocorrect suggestions.

Sorry about the watermark. On my computer it looked more transparent but looking at it on my phone, I see it’s more opaque than I wanted it…

If you know someone with PTSD

Please be aware that one of the symptoms is hyper-vigilance. That means they have a high startle response and are hyper-aware, whether consciously or not, of changes in their environment.

It is NOT OKAY to repeatedly poke someone so you can watch them scream and flinch.

Or walk up behind them and scare them.

If someone you know has PTSD, despite how “funny” it may seem in the moment, it is not nice to activate their startle response on purpose. It does not feel good for us and can sometimes take a while to calm down.

out of all the aspects of millennial-bashing, i think the one that most confuses me is the “millennials all got trophies as a kid, so now they’re all self-centered narcissists” theory

like— kids are pretty smart, y’all. they can see that every kid on the team gets a trophy and is told they did a good job; they can also see that not every kid on the team deserves a trophy, and not everyone did do a good job

the logical conclusion to draw from this is not “i’m great and i deserve praise”— it’s “no matter how mediocre i am, people will still praise me to make me feel better, so i can’t trust any compliments or accolades i receive”

this is not a recipe for overconfidence and narcissism. it is a recipe for constant self-guessing, low self-esteem, and a distrust of one’s own abilities and skills.

where did this whole “ugh millennials think their so-so work is super great” thing even come from it is a goddamn mystery

[geardrops]

what fucking kills me is, yeah, maybe we got the trophies, but who gave them out

[violent-darts]

this is not a recipe for overconfidence and narcissism. it is a recipe for constant self-guessing, low self-esteem, and a distrust of one’s own abilities and skills.

Which is pretty much what mental health practitioners observe happening.

It’s also what I observed happening as a singing teacher: the older kids literally would not believe a positive word I said until I had proved I would tell them they screwed up/had done badly/etc. I did so in as useful a way as possible (“So this passage. We really need to work on this passage. A lot. This passage is not good yet.”), but with almost every adolescent I taught I had to prove I would give them straight-up criticism before they would parse my praise as anything other than meaningless “the grownups always do this” noise.

my mom’s like “ppl are so overstimulated by social media and stuff and they wonder why add is on the rise”

me: “thats…. not how it works.. you dont get adhd from playing video games or something”

mom: “well when peoples brains are overstimulated for.. decades… and then those people start having babies… it’ll be harder for the babies to focus on things”

me: ok fine that’s . ok

[thatadhdfeel]

im the social media

[punkdunsparce-deactivated201708]

@thatadhdfeel ironically, there are studies that show that extended and repeated periods of understimulation/monotony can cause ADHD-like symptoms. Still haven’t looked into them personally yet, though. So, a grain of salt with that.
