I go through things periodically because it helps me process my life. If my room is a mess its because theres something I’m not processing.
I’m not totally sure if this is what it is, but from the outside it appears like my s/o just doesn’t process anything ever. His memory is shit, his emotional intelligence is kinda shit, he can’t focus… it’s all symptoms of adhd and it drives me mad cause on the outside it looks like it would be so easy for him to just stop for a second and think about what he’s doing but I know thats not how it works and its actually way more difficult than it sounds.

I kept having to manage it cause every so often he’d pile more on top and it would end up blocking the doorway which is a huge safety hazard in the event of a fire or some similar scenario.
I actually lost my shit on him once cause he’d piled cardboard boxes on top of an oven range we don’t use and don’t check often. I’d never been so upset at a person before. I used to work as an EMT and I had been to a couple house fires and they start exactly like that.
Anyway, he fixed it. We’re happy now

The therapy didn’t fix our issues, but it opened up communication so that we could start to fix our issues and very slowly, things did actually change. My partners habits are so much better now. Ive been slowly having them take over household tasks all year, we’re up to cleaning dishes and cooking. Its amazing.
Also! The “go-through” pile downstairs has vanished! No more pile!
Do recommend. Any therapist at all. It didnt feel like she helped at all but weeks went by and things were just better.

Wild that for us it seems to just be that we lack the political will to maintain our society

Yes its racist. No it didn’t used to be like that. Yes most of us wish it wasn’t like that, but for those who are glad its like that they’re very loud and they all voted in the last election while the mids piddled about over how much the democatic party sucks for blah blah whatever reason so here I am, handing out racist advice for the racist world I now live in.

I imagine most companies are building infrastructure like this, model agnostic.

Like, its right there, we could teach them how to be good people and then society would make them feel better about themselves, but that fruit is juuuuuust out of reach. Theres a whole subreddit making fun of how theyre SO close, and yet, whoosh.
Organizing my space is a preferred task to me though. I like going through mail, cleaning a surface, emptying the dishwasher. It helps my brain organize and put away its own thoughts.
I struggle way more with doing work I get paid for than I do with household tasks. My job is meaningless and only serves to contribute to the heat death of the universe while still somehow causing me stress anyway. Id much rather be doing the dishes, at least that helps me.
My s/o seems to be the opposite, he not only accepts the pointlessness of his salaried work, he thrives in that environment. Theres no way he actually seriously thinks about the nature of what he’s doing, cause then he wouldn’t be able to do it, it would cease to be a preferred task.
