Dramatic_Fix_3577 OP t1_je9h9z8 wrote

Well getting closer with my friends gf is no viable option for me. I wouldn't be able to Look at myself in the mirror. The only Thing i know is that no matter what, i want to go on being friends with him.

I'm just f*ing confused.

No matter what i have to talk to my gf to speak about what we want and if we do have the same goals.

What i have to See for myself is:

  1. am i overreacting because 15 yo me would be happy af? Is this kind of attention something i am lacking?
  2. how should i behave towards Jessica after she breaks up with my friend w/o being unfair towards my friend and my gf
  3. what do i really want atm in life or is it something else im nervous about.

I am sorry, but guys - please don't interpret my writing too much. I am fighting against auto correction as i am not a native englisch speaker and i am writing the post and answers in the little free Time i have at work

Well, i don't disagree that i am a moron. But i think i kind of misexplained the children/housing Situation.:

Just in my point of view i would really like to build a house / home and then have kids. Financially there wouldn't be a Problem.

My gf on the other hand doesn't know when she wants to have kids and when she wants to buy a house. She always says she can still get pregnant at 35 e.g. if she wants to but i'm worried what will Happen then and if she still even wants kids

I literally acknowledged that some parts of the world still may use that terminology - though when I did research for Germany specifically, they didn't even start acknowledging ADHD as a diagnosis until 2018 and I couldn't even find anything about ADD no matter how I worded my search. If someone can find a source for me, I'd appreciate it.

I came in hard because it was unrelated and the only time I see people using random diagnosis in their stories is when they don't even suffer from it.

As someone diagnosed with OCD, I'm all too familiar with the self-diagnosis annoyance. But we don't know if OP self-diagnosed - just that they decided to add that unnecessary tidbit to their story. You came in hard on them without having all the facts and I just wanted to clarify that not everywhere has shifted the terminology.

Whatever you claim to be diagnosed with still has absolutely no relevance to this story. You made a quick purchase because you're smitten and wanted to impress the new girl you've been chatting with. ADHD isn't a cute little issue of "omg, I can't believe I bought the wrong concert tickets". It's a genuine struggle for those who have it.

Idk wheee you live but here in Belgium my psychiatrist, and people in general, still use both terms. Im gonna go of a limb and say you haven’t spoken with everybody who is diagnosed with ADHD but if you have that would explain why you keep nagging about a conditioner you claimed was irrelevant for the story

Perhaps so, and good to know. However OP had no reason to list a diagnosis in this story, especially when added in randomly during a laughing fit and discussion of getting a refund. Too many people are making self diagnosis these days and it's beyond annoying for those who actually have to deal with it.
