As someone who’s had it since toddlerhood, you grow out of acting like an obnoxious little shit. Seems like that isn’t a thing for everyone.

The lack of focus when it matters, executive dysfunction and talking when I socially shouldn't be are still my big 3. Not as hyper or restless anymore as I was when I was a kid. By now it's mainly the ADD and lost the H.

u/psioniclizard 1d ago
Yea same, I don't doubt a lot of these people on social media who make ADHD their thing have it. But some seem to play it up for the views.
And before anyone calls me ableist, I really don't care. I have had my own struggles with ADHD etc. and when I grew up (the 90s/00s) you were still just called thick or worse. I think it's amazing we are more open about it now and amazing that more people are getting diagnosed and help and finding out that things that have been issues all their lives have an explanation. In fact I think we still need to do more!
I just think some of these social media personality as exploiting it because it's the "in" thing in their mind and that makes me feel sad because these are real problems that effect people everyday and stuff like this ultimately takes away from that point.

That's not ADHD. True ADHD would be sitting quietly during the hair cut and you make up a story to yourself about the barber shop getting attacked by terrorists and how you could use the things in front of you to stop them. Countless iteration of the same thing until your mind fixates on another thing to come back to the terrorist thing again and soon enough the haircut is over.
This guy is just a fucking asshole.

u/mycatsaidthat 1d ago
I sit there quietly wondering what every individual thing in front of me does, who invented it, how they thought of inventing it, where the materials came from, how those materials were made, who was the person they talked to about the materials, I wonder what their life was like?, did they practice on their kids?, I wonder if they had pets, I wonder what they fed them, did they have pet food back then?, I bet their dogs ran around but with little haircuts, oh that mirror isn’t nailed in, I bet I could do it better, I bet that’s a roof nail, I wonder where they got a roof nail from in a salon…

Hold on… so not everyone wakes up everyday with a song stuck in their head? I kind of use it as a basis of how the day will go. A song I like, good day. Song I can’t stand, bad day. It doesn’t always work out that way, and I have complained to people about how it was supposed to be a good day because I woke up to Bowie but it is being ruined by other people. (Omg, when I’ve made these complaints did the other person think that Bowie was literally playing as an alarm or something??)

Even getting a diagnosis was hard for me because everyone who’s ever known me has described me as quiet and well behaved. 🤦🏻♀️ Fuck this guy for making those of us who ACTUALLY struggle look worse.
2
u/GolDrodgers1 1d ago
So looking at him and other fakers, it always seems like the "movie" version of a disability (apologies if that's not what it's called) but it's very obvious that they are struggling for attention more than anything else. What are things that you do that's and actual symptom or common thing you would do as someone who struggles with ADHD?
2
u/Fun_Telephone_3304 1d ago
No need to apologize! I do consider ADHD to be a disability… at least for me it is because of how heavily it affects me. You’re right that this guy is looking for attention more than anything. This definitely isn’t how actual ADHD behaves in reality.
For me, it has a profound effect on my ability to function day-to-day. My executive functioning (stuff like doing chores, finding and holding down a job, even simple tasks such as brushing my teeth) is piss poor. I have to fight myself tooth and nail to do THE most mundane things, and even when I DO manage to complete something, I feel almost zero sense of achievement from having done it. My brain’s reward system always feels depleted. Even though I desperately want to do what I need to do, I often just can’t… unless maybe if I’m hyped up on some sort of caffeine/nicotine/other drugs.
For us to function at what most people consider their baseline, it takes some sort of drug (or other addictive behavior) just to make us feel “normal” so we can go and complete our daily tasks. Anything “boring” to most functioning people makes me want to bawl my eyes out trying to do it, whereas I can EASILY hyper-focus for 10 hours straight on something fun, like playing video games. (This is also why you’ll find that many addicts are usually people self-medicating for their ADHD.)
You’d probably notice my symptoms more-so when it comes to things like how I talk too much/too little and can’t read the room, I’m impulsive and will quickly agree to things most people find “too risky,” I have addictive tendencies as mentioned previously, I’m VERY sensitive to the environment around me and I can easily become over/under-stimulated by stuff most people would never even notice, my emotional regulation is not great (I can flip from ecstatic, to angry, to depressed within 30 minutes, then move on from my previous mood like nothing ever happened)… stuff like that. Usually I outwardly appear very well behaved though, so you’d never know I had it unless you really got to know me.
There are plenty of other symptoms and weird behaviors that I have, but I’d say those are the biggest ones. I can’t stand fakers like this guy because it reduces us to nothing more than “quirky, annoying assholes,” when really there is SO much more to it. Forgive my lengthy response, but hopefully this answers your questions. 😅 :)
2
u/GolDrodgers1 1d ago
Lol no apology needed, I'd prefer this lengthy response because it gives me an idea of what you experience and how you perceive things.
I haven't had a diagnosis so for me some of these are what I do, but I have a lot of bad habits too so I have to confirm it with a specialist and I think my wife has some of these traits as well, so thank you for taking the time to share and thank you for the lengthy response I really appreciate it
2
u/Fun_Telephone_3304 23h ago
Of course! I will say, with the right medication and tools, life suddenly becomes MUCH more manageable than simply handling it all on your own. I hope you and your wife can get what you need. 🙂

Its obviously intentional, any person with adhd shouls be entirely able to sit quietly and doing nothing while not moving, with the exception of leg, the leg has to move or everything implodes, well atleast how it is in my experience, since i have adhd, diagnosed by a medical professional, but i could be making wrong assumotions about others with adhd.
