So I just realized

[(Anonymous)]

I can't take seriously anyone who talks about their "spoons" in relation to how much energy they have. I've yet to see anyone use the term and not sound like a pretentious attention-seeker.

Re: So I just realized

[(Anonymous)]

I have exactly no idea what you're talking about.

Re: So I just realized

[morieris]

Nor do I...

I've never seen anyone use the word like that before... So, uh, "I have so much spoons today!" means they have a lot of energy? O_o

Re: So I just realized

I have no idea what you're talking about but I'm rolling my eyes almost as hard as I did at the sexuality question.

Explanation

[(Anonymous)]

There was this article: http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/wpress/articles/written-by-christine/the-spoon-theory/

And now everyone is all "I don't have the spoons to do this today" and such. See also: http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/the%20spoon%20theory

Re: Explanation

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

Oh, that. I vaguely remember reading that years ago, and not thinking very highly of it. Can't believe people are still harkening on.

Re: Explanation

[(Anonymous)]

So people are comparing being lazy to having a degenerative illness? I don't even know what to say to that. I guess I haven't seen this because everyone who knows me knows I have a degenerative illness and they're aware how amazingly offensive this is.

Re: Explanation

[(Anonymous)]

The spoon theory is a cutesy, convenient way of describing the problem of allocation/opportunity cost, which everyone deals with in their way because everyone has limited energy. The limits may be in different places but anyone can reach theirs.

Re: Explanation

[(Anonymous)]

Actually the spoon theory, as linked above, is a cutesy, convenient way of describing living with degenerative illness. I don't blame AYRT for finding it offensive when people use it to describe not wanting to get off tumblr and attend to their RL responsibilities.

Re: Explanation

[(Anonymous)]

No one would extend it to describe the problem of limited energy if it didn't do that very tidily; on the other hand, a few people who live with chronic illness have chosen to see energy limitation as a problem unique to themselves.

I am pretty well over the spoons thing too. It was a good explanation when it first started but now it seems like every time someone's a little bit tired they're suddenly OUT OF SPOONS OMG.

Granted, idk everyone uses it and idk their circumstances so I try not to get too frustrated with seeing it. :\a

Re: So I just realized

[(Anonymous)]

In case of spoon emergency, you only have to ask: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cjTv36At4U

Re: So I just realized

[(Anonymous)]

^ epic clip response!

Re: So I just realized

[(Anonymous)]

Huh. I didn't realize it had caught on that way, although I'm not surprised. I've used it privately sometimes in regards to my depression, but that is really a shame.

Re: So I just realized

[(Anonymous)]

Same. Thank goodness it seems to be fading away.
