I get that’s not your intent, but just FYI, this is a line used to shame people with ADHD and it sucks to hear it. There are a lot of things I really care about that are hard to do because my brain has issues
yeah i thought about this and idk if this is selfish or insensitive of me but tbh it also feels shitty to have ppl coming in and decontextualizing 1 tweet out of 4 where i’m clearly trying to talk about a different generalized pattern

Do you sincerely believe that everyone is 100% capable of doing things they really want to do? I can honestly say that’s not true for me—if anything, sometimes the things I most deeply, desperately want to do are the hardest specifically because their importance locks up my brain

like no i understand that yes a lot of ppl truly are working with shitty hard limits and it sucks! but a lot of people simply aren’t and the current framework for the language of disability just doesn’t give space for anyone to talk about that

in this case yes i understand the connotations of the phrase and i do apologize that it echoed hurtful things you’ve heard bc that sucks. at the same time i...have also dealt w mental health issues and idk i know there’s extenuating things but it’s something i believe

I agree 100% with the point. “you really care about something yet you can’t trust yourself to do what needs to be done” is almost the diag criteria for ADHD tho we use drugs/strategies to turn motiv into action tech folks w/o ADHD overuse the same drugs/strategies to be boring?

I mean, that’s why I didn’t quote tweet you and try to do a twitter dunk, and we don’t know each other IRL so I don’t want to be a creep and slide into your DMs. This was my attempt to offer some pushback/feedback in the politest way possible
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
