Seriously. I don't have the energy to keep track of that shit. If somebody was shitty to me they just get labeled as "not friend" and get treated like an acquaintance. Anything more requires me to care about them in some way, and I have shit to do.

[–] intelati@programming.dev 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you're a work friend/acquaintance, yeah who gives a flying.

Now, the top ten "anime betrayal"s, those are the one's that hurt/stick with me.

[–] jcg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah it's easy to just drop people when they're not really a part of your life. Not so when you've been building a relationship for several years.

[–] CarlsIII@kbin.social 49 points 2 years ago (8 children)

You mean you don’t hyper fixate on a few uncomfortable moments from your past and hold grudges based on those?

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 years ago

I barely remember my own life so I indeed don't hold grudges because I have no idea why I held them or if it was actually my fault that something happened.

[–] weirdingmodule@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 2 years ago

That's definitely my flavor of ADHD.

[–] argentcorvid@midwest.social 8 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah, that too.

[–] WYLD_STALLYNS@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

I do this often, so not sure every ADHD symptom is common to everyone.

I mean, i do that too, but it's always something i did rather than something others did to me.

When others are shitty to me, it usually doesn't stick with me for long, because although bad at the moment, it wasn't my fault, so i'm guilt free.

[–] Captain_Waffles@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I didn't need to be called out like this 😓

„Here's the ten bucks you let me borrow, sorry it took so long, I hope you aren't angry at me“

I gave this person money?

You just reminded me of how some years ago I found my wallet that I totally forgot about behind my bed because it fell in there. The joy is real.

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

Finding old christmas cards you never took the money out of is the best

[–] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sometimes I leave money in glove boxes, cupboards, and whatnot as a surprise to my future self.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 years ago

Omg, this had happened to me a few times, hahaha.

[–] Shinji_Ikari@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

The other day at work, a coworker was like "I owe you for lunch anyway" when we were putting in an order and I had no idea what he meant till he reminded me like 6 months ago i gave him an old NES that needed some work with the promise of a lunch at some point.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I only hold one single grudge in my life. The one fucker in high-school who took the accountant role when my mother died of cancer, took the money my class raised for my family, and spent them on luxury stuff for himself.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

...Please tell me something happened to him in legal terms.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Haha no... However they got hit by "divine justice" The same day they bought these, they got hit in the street by a motorcycle and ended up in the hospital.

[–] argentcorvid@midwest.social 18 points 2 years ago

I was featured in a story told by someone at a funeral regarding some disagreement/fight I and the deceased had.

Don't remember it at all, nothing about it even rang a bell.

[–] Turious@leaf.dance 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mine is a fun sort of specific. Years later, I'll remember that I hate a person's guts but will completely forget why I hate them. But that visceral hate stays with me.

I recently had a conversation with my ex-fiancée of 15 years and she was apologizing for things I didn't even remember her doing. But I remember the bitterness from those things.

[–] misanthropy@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

People will forget what you do, forget what you say, but they'll never forget how your make them feel.

Most of the time when I'm replying to posts I'm doubting if what I'm typing is related at all to the post because I forgor what it's about as soon as I'm at the comment box and I just hope nobody notices when/if I'm typing pure bullshit.

My memory is such shit but I guess for stuff between me and my best friend I used to have it did help that I was never able to hold a grudge. I learned apologizing real quick and the last few arguments we had I apologized to her within a minute or two of starting the argument because I didn't want to lose her anymore (though we used to always come back to each other sooner or later anyways). Not the last one we had though, I miss her with every last piece of my heart 💔.

So much time.

[–] ReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

I guess I'm different. If you burn me enough to illicit disgust, I will remember that over all else and I only forgive if deserving. I've had to many people take advantage of me. I don't hold grudges, I identify if you are a positive or negative effect on my life and treat accordingly.

[–] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wait, bad memory is a sign of ADHD?

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

As someone with adhd let me also tell you one of my favorite internet quotes of all time:

Every pees too but if you’re peeing 60 times a day that’s when you see a doctor

[–] thisonethatone@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

When you have OCD and ADHD so you hold onto the grudge because what if you forget??????

[–] QubaXR@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

So weird to see a liberal content creator use that weird selective title case that became submissions with conservative posters. (You know, capitalizing the first letter of some words)

Edit: to clarify, I'm not trying to create drama or accuse anyone of anything. I'm just curious because I always associated this style of capitalization with certain discourse (or with German language)

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 7 points 2 years ago

It's usually to Brand™ a concept. Democrat Witch Hunt™ The Deep State™ Do Nothing Democrats™

It's one thing about Trump that I could say "he knows what he's doing." He's all about marketing, he knows how to create brands, he just doesn't know what to do with them after he creates them lol

[–] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 7 points 2 years ago

They've co-opted capitalization??

[–] Bunnylux@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is a conservative thing? I always thought it was a cutesy thing, like from Winnie the Pooh.

[–] Grayox@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It makes blocks of text easier to read for folks with ADHD.

[–] Faresh@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Does it? I do not have ADHD AFAIK, but to me it looks a lot less readable, because I at first read it like the sentence ended somewhere around "Big of Me" (because new sentences generally begin with a capital letter), and because it is unclear what they are trying to convey when they capitalize those words: Is it a title? A trademark? Something else?

[–] xkforce@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Meanwhile there are people that I have literally had a grudge against for decades. All they have to do to get themselves off the shitlist is to not be cunts to everyone around them. That's literally it. Except Connie. I want an apology for what you did.

[–] AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

That's why you need to read Building A Second Brain by Tiago Forte. Then you can just have you Little Black Book in the cloud so you never forget.

[–] Abraxiel@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I tend not to hold grudges because I don't see the point of holding anger. If someone wrongs me I might increase the distance between us socially or not trust them with certain things if I feel it would be unwise to continue. Sometimes there needs to be some kind of reconciliation for things to be close again. I've definitely stopped being friends with people for reasons that were unlikely to change or where it wasn't worth continuing, but it's very hard for me to stay mad at them or wish them ill. Even the people who've done awful things to me or who are now contemptible in many respects, I just kind of hope they do better in the future, far away from me.

I've never considered this to have anything to do with my adhd, but maybe? It would definitely be something more complicated than just forgetting though.
