Feeling Like Everyone Hates You May Be Linked To ADHD

Published by Sam Flores

“Task paralysis,” ADHD burnout, and “pathological demand avoidance” can all be linked to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. And another symptom, called “rejection sensitive dysphoria” (RSD), has also been linked to the condition. In fact, speaking to ADHD UK, psychiatrist Dr Shyamal Mashru said that it’s seen in “almost all cases of ADHD”. Alex Partridge, the host of the ADHD Chatter podcast, wrote his new book, Why Does Everybody Hate Me?: Living and Loving with Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria about his experience with RSD and ADHD. Here, we spoke to the Sunday Times-bestselling author about RSD. What is RSD? “RSD is a symptom of the emotional dysregulation often seen in individuals with ADHD, and it’s massively under-researched and misunderstood,” Partridge said. “None of us like criticism or rejection, but RSD is different. While a neurotypical person is able to recognise the rejection, rationalise it, feel bad about it and then move on fairly quickly with their day, RSD is physically painful, all-consumingand disproportionate to the event that triggered it. “It feels like a bull has …

Data centers are amazing. Everyone hates them.

Data centers are amazing. Everyone hates them.

And as to the jobs they bring to communities. Well, I have some bad news there too. Once construction ends, they tend to employ very few people, especially for such resource-intensive facilities.  These are all logical reasons to oppose data centers. But I suspect there is an additional, emotional one. And it echoes one we’ve heard before.  More than a decade ago, the large tech firms of Silicon Valley began operating buses to ferry workers to their campuses from San Francisco and other Bay Area cities. Like data centers, these buses used shared resources such as public roads without, people felt, paying their fair share. Protests erupted. But while the protests were certainly about shared resource use, they were also about something much bigger.  Tech companies, big and small, were transforming San Francisco. The early 2010s were a time of rapid gentrification in the city. And what’s more, the tech industry itself was transforming society. Smartphones were newly ubiquitous. The way we interacted with the world was fundamentally changing, and people were, for the most …

Trump Says Wife Melania Hates His Dancing: ‘It’s So Unpresidential’

Published by Sam Flores

WASHINGTON, Jan 6 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald ‌Trump ​draws cheers from supporters when ‌he dances on stage at his political rallies, ​but he revealed on Tuesday that first lady Melania Trump is not a ‍fan of dancing Donald. “My wife ​hates when I do this,” Trump said during a meandering speech ​to ⁠Republican lawmakers in Washington. “She’s a very classy person, right? She said, ‘It’s so unpresidential.’ I said, ‘But I did become president.’” The first lady was not present at the event. Trump often breaks out his signature moves at the end ‌of his speeches as the song “YMCA” plays over the loudspeakers, extending ​his arms ‌in a herky-jerky way ‍while ⁠the rest of his body remains stiff. “I said everybody wants me to dance,” Trump told the lawmakers, recounting what he said was a conversation with his wife. “‘Darling, it’s not presidential.’ She actually said, ‘Could you imagine FDR dancing?’ She said that to me.” “I said there’s a long history that perhaps she doesn’t ​know, because he was an elegant fellow, …
