That two hundred and sixty-nine unread messages make my brain hurt and fills me with existential dread.
It's like staring into the abyss and you see a notification pop up.
It's like work email. Mine were 100% read for 16 years. Then I let one go unread, then two, and now I'm up to just under 1,000 unread emails. It's an adrenaline rush, like Russian roulette. I doubt I'll read any replies to this comment! I need help.
You guys check your emails?
Just try and stop me
I'd offer help but you wouldn't read it.
Plus I'm wildly unqualified.
If they're anything like me, they're piled up 2FA codes that I can't be bothered to delete
I have tons of those. I still mark every single one of them read. Only time I ever leave anything unread is when I need a reminder to get back to it later.
well look at you with your working executive function lol
It’s all cope! I didn’t finish college until age 40. Now I’m struggling to get a job and I’ve got half a dozen hobbies in various states of active / pause.
I was totally dysfunctional 20 years ago (just playing video games all the time) and even dropped out of high school before that. I’ve since learned coping strategies that work for me but it’s still way more difficult than it should be!
Make a filter and work with folders. If you can't, get a sane client software. Thunderbird, Evolution, Kmail, Claws are pretty good.
Hahaha came here to say the same.
ADHD lyfe. I literally have a bit over 13 000 unread emails.
Autism+ADHD life, I can't stand to have emails in my inbox for more than a day and I also can't be diligent enough to achieve that
Yeah I gave up long ago. I regularly miss important emails but my life is kinda clown shoes anyhow so that's the least of my worries
Posting this because of how much it is going to annoy people.
Wow, you can just paste images into the textarea, how sweet is that.
