#talking with a much younger coworker about how suddenly life kinda flipped upside down through no fault of anyone#its done that twice to me. once when i was seven and again at 19.#the first gave me lasting ptsd and the second...also gave me lasting ptsd with a side order of chronic pain#and explaining that you haven't done anything to maintain your state you've just been lucky was ah. hmm. interesting.#and then there was the conversation about how thats not fair (i agree) and that im so nice (ehhh...) and positive (/ehhhh.../)#and that's when i was like honey. darling. i have severe dyslexia and grew up in rich kid catholic school.#i maxxed out on charisma and deceit by like age 9. gaslit my teachers into thinking they lost my homework multiple times.#told one who gave me detention that i forgot about it. i did not. i just didnt care and wasnt telling my parents.#the people i couldnt charm into leaving me alone i blackmailed. [Coworker]‚ you know that I like you because i get bitchy sometimes.#*freshly eighteen year old girl*: holy shit I would have never guessed#yeah girl thats the whole point. is that if i were BAD at it you'd know.#anyway its been years since ive been to a psychologist that wasnt aiming to help me adjust to being physically disabled#i keep thinking about copperbadge's diagnosis with ADHD--and clinically extremely charismatic.#i didnt even know that was a diagnosis. but im pretty sure that I'd get it.
