genuinely curious to see if this measure actually has any impact because that little quarter second pause it takes to register this statement could interrupt the brain to finger process long enough to let the thought "do I really need to add to this?" get through for some people

or interrupt that little blast of rage that lets the initial thought be the only thought before hitting send

idk im not really the target bc I generally tweet with intention but a lot of people don't

i still get weirdly surprised by how thoughtlessly ppl spit out words but I guess not everyone is constantly pushing down the rage monster that wants to lash out at everything and everyone so they don't learn to always take a breath after the 1st rxn and check it for veracity

(obviously I don't always succeed at that but the goal is mitigation and I haven't totally blown up a friendship in awhile!)

we really don't talk about anger management enough on this hell site

gotta make some ADHD relatable style graphics with the coping strategies

people get annoyed by the prevalence of adhd self-diagnosis but I mostly just want people to realize that a lot of those symptoms are also symptoms of other mental or personality disorders too and maybe look at what others things you experience that might not be as talked about
