I got creative with the chat that some people hate so much. It converges with you regarding anxiety, lol.

  • ADHD: Enhanced multitasking and creativity, leading to innovative problem-solving and adaptability in fast-paced environments.
  • ASD: Exceptional attention to detail and a unique perspective that contributes to meticulous work, precision, and out-of-the-box thinking.
  • Anxiety: Hyper-awareness of potential risks, ensuring thorough planning, risk assessment, and a proactive approach to challenges.
  • Depression: A heightened sense of empathy and emotional intelligence, enabling the creation of more authentic connections with colleagues and clients, resulting in improved teamwork and rapport.
  • Suicidal tendencies: Exceptional strength in overcoming personal challenges, cultivating an unwavering determination to confront difficult situations, and fostering a unique perspective on life's struggles, which can inspire resilience in others.

Image Transcription:

Black text on a white background reading:

'"If you are good at something never do it for free"

Below the text is a screenshot of a Google search reading 'how to sell anxiety'

Hell yeah. Props to you for making the fediverse a more accessible space.

Just a fun fact, this was your 69th comment. Nice!

[–] bamfic@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

that's easy: become a comedian

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or just art in general. Can you think of any happy, well-adjusted artists? No.

[–] angrystego@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Agree, turning anxiety into art is the traditional way.

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but most of the time their work doesn't make money until they're long dead.

[–] angrystego@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Which helps to develop even more anxiety.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not a fan of "If you are good at something never do it for free." There's a whole lot more to life than money, and you shouldn't gatekeep your own fun hobbies behind getting someone to pay you for it just because you're good at them.

[–] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, I had the same thought. But also… it’s just a silly meme about anxiety. It’s not like OP is going to ruin their love for anxiety by selling their anxious services.

[–] lorez@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

The other half is "it's not about the money, it's about sending a message". Proceeds to burn the money.

News anchor

If you're good at coping with your anxiety, there's probably a market for you to help other people do the same! You could run a tea shop, train therapy dogs, report on uplifting news, be a professional gardener, compile self-affirmation booklets,...

Not so much of a (legal) market for the unhealthy coping mechanisms. Run a liquor store?

Good news, I've replaced your baseless anxiety with actual fuckin problems!

Ummmmmmm Become a therapist to fix yourself and then do it to fix other people too

[–] Jikiya@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Feel like all politicians are selling these days (and probably most days in the past) is anxiety. "Vote for me or [X]!"

[–] eltimablo@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Sysadmin. Trust me on this.
