Dude. I have a friend JUST like this.
They always think they are bugging me by merely sending me messages - regardless of how often I tell them that’s what friends do (chat, that is).
Doesn’t stop them from apologizing…
Stamets narrows his eyes
Fuck you, I’m telling on you. I don’t need to be called out like this. You’re my friend, how dare you attack me like this. No apologies. Suffer.
I hate inconveniencing my friends by talking to them!
Exactly the kind of friends you don’t need: ones that hate to hear you talk.
They can fuck right off.
This is why I was convinced up until the last few years that I didn’t have it. I’m certainly not fucking hyperactive, so how could I have ADHD? is what I used to think.
A lot of people
used tostill think this.And, let us be clear: they judge based on this bullshit view alone. 🖕🏼
Think of the ‘hyperactivity’ as more related to your thoughts. In that everyone has a stream of thoughts going, ours is just overactive. And it’s only that some people do actually physically express the hyperactivity.
(Still not the most succinct word for it though)
I can’t sit still during break, I can’t hold a conversation where the person does not get to the point within 3 seconds, because I can’t be holding my breath for 3 seconds.
I like to think of it as the “hyperactive” part being my brain.
For people trying to get a diagnosis, mainly mention the internal and social aspect of your disorder not the obvious stuff. Doctors can see highly visible symptoms without you saying. The only reason I have one is because I opened with “the social issues from ADHD are killing me…” nobody knows how to complain about those without actually having the disorder.
The hyperactivity describes what goes on in afflicted people’s heads, not (necessarily) that they can’t sit still.
Yes, because when we deal with psychological issues, most people focus on treating the symptoms.
That framing actually explains a lot more than the name ever did
Who is “they” in this context?
Neuronormative psuchiastrists.
No all the normies got together in a secret normie meeting and voted on it
It’s not a secret. People are actively marginalized and pushed out by bullies without scruples.
Remember that time Durkheim had to plow a crowd of people to get WEB Du Bois to the stage because they didn’t want to look at Du Bois speaking? Dipshits.
The death of a thousand cuts. Every day. 🥲🤷🏼♂️
True for most disabilities they center the “ideal norm”.
Idk how I went from genocide all normies, to ok, maybe I will try to build a community and help people. But that is one of the reasons I was where I was.
ADHD Hitler for a time.
