[doing things I’m bad at] “ugh, I suck at everything” [doing things I’m good at] “this doesn’t count because it’s easy for me”
ADHD symptoms be like: • annoys teachers • hard to parent • not great at jobs • kinda creative? • too quiet • too loud • too sensitive • too much
ADHD is always hearing “you’re doing it wrong” even though your way works.
“I hope that made sense” “I’m fine either way” “Anyways, sorry I’m rambling a bit” “Just a thought, whatevs” — little anxiety-fueled gifts I like to send along with any communication in an attempt to shield myself from rejection
If boredom feels like literal pain, you might want to look into ADHD.
ADHD is thinking about all the things you have to do, getting stressed about all the things, worrying about the consequences of not doing the things, but still feeling stuck and unable to do any of the things.
Lazy = I don’t want to do the thing. ADHD = I desperately WANT to do the thing, but I just can’t seem to START doing the thing.
The hidden burden of undiagnosed ADHD is constantly inventing excuses in an attempt to justify behavior you don’t even understand yourself.
Any friends gonna be at PAX West (video game nerd conference) this weekend? Would love to say hi!
me: [about to do something that I want to do] someone: "you have to do that" me: I've never wanted to do something less, I will fight you
[casually googling ‘worst mariners shut out in history’] “Oh look, a new record.”
Kinda chic to ignore every important task in my life so I can hyperfocus on the only (horribly unimportant) task that happens to sound interesting in this very moment.
Strengths: works well under pressure Weaknesses: doesn’t work otherwise
This is THE best third party bsky app on the App Store. Reminds me a lot of Ivory for Mastodon... I've missed that a lot since I moved to bsky but this is nice

@mjwhansen.com did I somehow miss it, or did you forget to actually say where @leenyburger.bsky.social got hired in the new ep? At one point you say something like “and Colleen was hired by… oh wait we should talk about why you aren’t at Geocodio anymore” and I don’t think you came back to it. 😂
[spends months building up a new daily routine] [forgets one day] [never does it ever again]
One of the hardest things to explain to people without ADHD: • when it’s interesting, I can start on it • when it’s uninteresting, I can’t Note that the second one is not “I don’t want to.” I literally CAN’T. I have to convince my brain it is interesting to even get started.
I hate deadlines (but I need deadlines) & I hate structure (but I need structure)
I never played the original Star Fox 64. Is the new Switch 2 remake worth checking out for someone without the nostalgia hook?
The ADHD urge to think I can learn a new language before an international trip next year… Or next month… Or next week…
My toxic trait is saying yes to things I have the ability to do, without considering if I have the time, energy, or motivation.
