    I can’t drive because I am neurodivergent and traumatized, so I get panic attacks when I drive. It’s too fast, too much power and responsibility and my schizoautismo brain shuts down not knowing what to do. So I ride my bike everywhere.

        Funnily, driving is one of the few things that keeps my ADHD at bay. Danger is immediate, reactions are required, action is mandatory. It’s exactly what my brain needs. I usually need a 2 day warm-up to make a simple phone call but if somebody does an emergency stop right in front of me, I react like a cat.

      i have adhd and i’m terrified of driving, well, i’m terrified of other people driving. if i knew everyone played by the rules that’d be fine, if i knew everyone didn’t play by the rules i’d also be fine. but in my country i’m expected to assume everyone follows the rules and blindly trust people do as expected or i’m “disrupting traffic”. fuck that! i wouldn’t trust a random stranger with keeping an eye on pet rock let alone my life!

      pretty much everyone in my life tells me i have to get over that fear but i’m not in a hurry, i’ve got my electric bike and i’m happy

        I cannot figure out what some people are doing in their cars when I’m on my bike. I’ve been hit before, both with it being my fault and not. I’m getting better at familiar strips of the area. People don’t realize life can be fundamentally different if you leave your little pocket of reality. Drivers in NY are not the same as drivers in AZ.

                Jesus cannot live rent free in your ass because he lives rent-free in my ass every night and day. Plus he’s black, and you’re too racist to love that throbbing dark meat.

                See, you’re saying random shit. I’m being honest. There’s a difference between you and me, and that is why I am Anonymous, as my phone’s keyboard’s predictive text tells me to tell you, boy.
