Flipside: someone who always asks you to decide what‘s next is too much emotional labor.

the constant idk, ok, ye, yeah is just exhausting. I hate being the only reason the conversation keeps going

this is good advice. we are both guilty of this. I'm going to try using this wording of "not sure, let's explore" kudos!

I get it but when you carry all the mental load you can’t even make small decisions like where to eat. Sometimes I truly don’t care, just feed me.

The buffer words such as “we can try and figure something out together” help the other person even if you struggle with having a real answer. It helps the other person know you care about them

if you are going to say "I don't know" you have to express or explain further

I don't know said consistently with zero followup translates to I do not care & the topic isn't even relevant. 😭 I'm so tired of being the only one asking (or answering without being asked)

here is an idea, teach adults not to speak in code or look into responses so "i dont know" doesn't falsely become "i dont care"

Can you give advice for someone who instead of constantly says "I don't know" constantly says "Whatever you want to do"?

Neurotypical scare me. I say idk because I genuinely do not know. Why would it mean something different? Wouldn’t I just say idc if I didnt care?

I think the issue with my partner and I is that we both have ADHD, our brains go 1000mph, so sometimes we truly don't know.

If I genuinely don’t know or don’t have an answer, I’ll say ‘I don’t know because-*explanation*’ or ‘I can’t think of something’

I don’t know is one of 3 things: 1. I don’t care or I am not interested; 2. I can’t hold a conversation; 3. I can’t form my own thoughts and opinions

I dated someone who constantly answered "I don't care, whatever you want" to every single question for 3 years. It really does affect you.
