Rant about "having ADHD is not an excuse for everything"

souperk@reddthat.com to ADHD@lemmy.world – 170 points –

If you haven't heard this cliche while discussing your neurodivergency with someone, then I envy your luck. Yesterday I fucked up, I feel shitty, but also I am pissed.

Our brains are impulsive af and tend to forget the most important information. We mess up, our RSD (and empathy) kicks in, we feel terrible, we vow to be more careful, but guess what? Thats fucking exhausting.

As a result, we start overthinking our every waking moment, stressing over every little thing. Because, we are trying to be aware of the things we cannot perceive.

At some point, hopefully we realize that we cannot live like that, and we start to arbitrarily ignore our compulsion to overthink. Most often that works out great because most often the threat is not real, but sometimes we make the wrong call.

The times we overthink are still more than the times we do not, and we still mess up. Let us have our fucking peace.

All a person can do is deal with themselves and grow

Then why are you projecting your own view of ADHD onto it? Not really dealing with yourself if you're judging everyone else with ADHD based off your own difficulties.

Only thing I'm rolling my eyes at here is blatant hypocrisy. Pathetic really.

I agree, systemglitch@lemmy.world sounds like an angry turd projecting their self hatred outwards.

Yeah.... their other comments don't really do anything else to dissuade someone from that conclusion either. Their other comments are all me me me. Calling everyone else selfish because they dare do something that systemglitch doesn't do. The narcissistic self attention here is on full display. They are taking everything about themselves, painting it on everyone else and then judging them for it because they can't bear to look inwards.

i am feeling attacked

Unless you're an alt of theirs then you're fine <3

Unrelated question: why is my Star Trek lemmy feed no longer constantly filled with your hilarious memes?

A combination of working stupid early hours and depression

Pathetic huh? Maybe dont be so desperate to paint other as the villain.

Good luck in life.

Maybe dont be so desperate to paint other as the villain.

Dude, you started whining and complaining about people who you've invented in your head after basing all of the troubles of people you've never met off of what you've personally gone through. You literally started this. You don't get to whine when someone points out your behavior is no different than what you're complaining about. You created a strawman and lit it on fire.

You're a narcissist. I'm going to block you now because I can see absolutely zero value from anything that you're contributing. It's just malice, hatred, small mindedness, and self absorption. Especially when looking at your other comments in this thread like "I don't care about peoples birthdays, it's selfish bullshit and everyone loves me for it once I point that out." Jesus christ.
