Plus I'm lazy.
What sort of things do you get anxious about?
As far as learning difficulties go, what do you have trouble with the most?
As for lazy, do you mean lazy as in don't excersise or lazy as in dont do anything?
Lazy as in motivation, getting stuff done, working at things. I can care less about being too lazy to play video games because they are not important in life. It can take me like five hours to do my laundry or take me a few weeks to finally clean the bathroom and then I have lot of fun doing it because I let it get so bad. I even have to force myself to go out and get stuff done and it has felt stressful. I just tell myself to shut up and do it and get it over with. I can't be lazy.
It's hard to explain what I get anxious about. It happened all the time when I was in school because of dead lines and stuff. That creates friction. I used to get anxious when I had to wait in long lines. When things don't go my way, I get anxious but when I am in control, I don't get anxious. I have lot less anxiety now because I am not in school and I don't live at home and I don't deal with people. My husband doesn't do anything to cause it. He lets me do whatever I want. I don't get anxiety anymore when I get stuck in traffic or when I can't find my keys in my purse. I just keep looking before I freak out because I have to make sure they aren't there or else I had anxiety over nothing.
Learning difficulties, my work had to be modified in school. I'm a concrete learner and I had difficulty with reports. Only time I found them easy is if the teacher didn't make it so rigid and saying how many pages it had to be and all. I also had difficulty finding answers in textbooks because the answers aren't exact. I needed help with almost everything in school. I was able to do Spanish on my own because it was concrete. It was just memorization and the teacher always told us what be on the test so I knew what to expect. Reports, I have difficulty organizing my thoughts and deadlines create friction so I hate them. My thoughts are all disorganized and jumbled up but yet I can write stories. I have no dead lines is why and will never join a story writing contest. I can write whatever I want and there are no rules and I just write parts and I can put them together.
Plus there's plagiarism and I have difficulty coming up with my own words. Most things I say come from what I hear or read so if I am expected to write a report using my own words, how do I do that without using words I learned from the internet or textbook?
I don't have any specific learning disability because I don't fall in any catagory. I just have a different way of learning but I am still considered as having one to society. If you learn different that it makes you need help from special ed, accommodations, you're considered learning disabled.
