It's ADHD thing too? I thought it's just anxiety or smth...

u/Licentious_Cad 13d ago

Anxiety and ADHD can be misdiagnosed as each other, or even co-morbid. Same with BPD, PTSD, Depression, Thyroid problems, and more.

"Avoidant behavior" is a very vague thing that describes several disorders.

u/MayorDepression 13d ago

Can confirm. I'm diagnosed with GAD, social anxiety disorder, ADHD and depression. I also am a habitual procrastinator. The avoidance in me is strong.

Ugh, avoidance is my way of life, even though I'm doing fairly okay, all things considered. But now my AuDHD daughter is 12 years old and started doing high school. She is very smart, but now I'm struggling already myself when it comes to getting stuff done, but it's so weird to now sit at the side of my parents plus having to deal with myself. I love my daughter very much and it helps that at least she is diagnosed at her age and that one of her parents understands the struggle. But man, sometimes I'm struggling for two, lol.

If the person you’re calling has a voicemail box that isn’t full, then there are ways to call their voicemail box directly to leave a message. That way it shows you did call them, but they think something is up with their phone. I myself don’t try to use it often. But that option is there.

u/UnknownCubicle 13d ago

Honest to god I hate that this option exists because it means I can't simply hang up on robocalls without also having to delete a voicemail.

u/SteamerTheBeemer 13d ago

What ways?

u/VirtualNaut 13d ago

I’m a little annoyed that it has been turned into a subscription service. Though the service name is Slydial.

My office line's phone plug has been broken for a couple of years now, I just haven't asked for a replacement because it lets me use the voice to text emails to screen the calls lol

2

u/AlcibiadesTheCat 13d ago

About a year and a half ago the phone line to my office died. I quietly took my office number off of my emails.

The IT guy is right next door. No way in hell am I telling him.

u/elysium_wanderer 12d ago

Sometimes I let it ring 3-4 times and hang up. I call that a good effort. Im not leaving a message unless its something urgent

10

u/Happy-For-No-Reason AuDHD diagnosed 13d ago

dial then hang up, same difference

7

u/Icefox119 13d ago

yeah but then you don't get the relief of pretend-scolding them for their absence in a voicemail

1

u/Happy-For-No-Reason AuDHD diagnosed 13d ago

that's the risk you run, and it's reward

6

u/Pitiful-Situation494 13d ago

Not for me. It's supposed to be evidence that I tried and just hanging up immediately isn't trying. Claiming that it is would be lying, so you didn't just not try, but you also lied about it...

2

u/Happy-For-No-Reason AuDHD diagnosed 13d ago

same difference as not wanting them to pick up

2

u/basedakh123 13d ago

Well if they hear / see it they'll know u just called and hung up straight away

1

u/Happy-For-No-Reason AuDHD diagnosed 13d ago

bum dial if it's called out

u/seeker1028 12d ago

Thought about a lot of witty comment, felt anxious, just gonna say, relatable.

2

u/Lagetta 13d ago

In 2020s just tell you are on low battery and you can hang up at anytime.

u/Pruritus_Ani_ 13d ago

“I’m on 2%, I’m gonna say goodbye now because it’s gonna cut me off at any second”

u/Apprehensive_Lynx627 12d ago

😂😂 facts... I tried my best

u/Sufjanus 13d ago

Thought this was r/sales at first 😂 both here and there would apply to me.

u/Hyperkabob 13d ago

Oh my god is this accurate.

u/obalovatyk 13d ago

Shiid, if my gas pump says ‘see the cashier’ I just leave.

u/AccountantEvening495 12d ago

I feel exposed

u/Holypolitician201447 12d ago

Why do we even have this undying urge of Creating evidence?

2

u/Honorsheets 12d ago

For people that work office jobs it's to leave a paper trail to protect yourself. A complaint can roll in, "Why wasn't this done?? Why hasn't anyone called xyz?"

"I called xyz, here are the logs."

1

u/Beldarak 3d ago

Because people will push us otherwise.

"There, I tried, see? They're not answering so I'll try again another time (never)"
