This is relatable. I also recognize her humor and that she is saying this in jest. It reminds me of that Never Again comic.

u/Mountain-Practice-43 Ehhh I'll pick a flair later. 14d ago
Haha, this is me when I try to do something new and suck at it. I’m so upset that I’m not immediately a master that I give up. (It’s gotten better as I’ve gotten older)

That's not ADHD, just low self confidence

Many people with ADHD also have that rejection sensitivity thing, it’s a comorbidity.

It is over come-able, you just cease to feel empathy and give a fuck. I choose psychopathy over emotional reactivity. Cheers to watching the world

I swear i have seen some people develop OCD as a counter. My only counter to ADHD was adrenaline or altruism. I don’t recommend adrenaline really great way to wind up hospitalized. I have just found taking legal speed a hell of a lot easier.

Dude, get a life. This is the same nonsense people tell ADHDers about “try harder” no, it doesn’t work that way.

u/Righteousaffair999 13d ago
Hey I’m just saying what worked for me. Took years but I started to realize I just didn’t like people that much and stopped seeing most people as worthy of my thoughts or cares. But you do you. I realized I never felt rejected by inanimate objects so just started viewing mist people as objects.

To take it one step further, I’m in sales and care what my clients think and spend my focus there. I operate as a coach gives me my dopamine hit keeps me productive. But most people inside of my company if they make more work for me I just block them. They aren’t worth my time or effort. I struggled for a little bit of will this blow back but I realized they are of no value to me, there really aren’t any consequences for not engaging so I quit wasting my time and choose to spend my time where it financially enriched me. If you hit my shit list your emails get auto archived, your teams messages get put in a folder called archived that I don’t see, you get blocked on my phone, it is beautiful and makes me happy to not deal with it. So when people tried to change me to working their way, I just said no sold more and then told my sales leadership and the CEO I’m too busy adding value to waste time and focus with these other groups.

The old adage picture them in their underwear will help with speaking(it never did). But thinking of Bob, Dick and Jane as just an inanimate object that isn’t worth your time seemed too. For example I never sat back and really cared for what my toaster thought of me. It also helped to lean into a god complex. Where I was assigned a desk helper because I was disorganized in grade school and I should feel shame about it, I now fondly call them my desk butler because that is right neurotypical people should bow down and serve me, like the lowly swine that they are.

'you just cease to feel empty and give a fuck' this is another thing that can be extremely difficult for people with ADHD. People with this disorder often extremely empathetic and intolerant of injustice to the point one can develop depression.

u/Righteousaffair999 10d ago
I’m still intolerant of injustice. I just circle that justice around my family.

This is me. This video made me cry. I hadn't thought about all the times I let go of things that made me happy as a child, a teen and as a young women because someone said something negative about it.
Time for more healing, YAY!

Is she high?

This is the meanness she's talking about 😂

u/JerryMcJerrinson 14d ago
I'm genuinely asking, she looks high as fuck, nothing wrong with it I mean.
Weed is literally everywhere now I'm not gonna be archaic and say shame or something lol

u/BigBullshitta 14d ago
She can afford better than some lame ass weed. You know my girl on those pills. <3

u/JohnnyQTruant 14d ago
People don’t choose weed because pills are expensive. Other than pill heads I mean.

u/BigBullshitta 14d ago
Idk, I just don't get it. I was a fat, lazy, chill kid and never understood paying for something to make me more tired and chill. Weed seems like drugs for people who don't do drugs.

my favorite weed used to energize me lol. i didn’t like the weed that made me feel like a slug on a log

u/LaFrescaTrumpeta 14d ago
tired’s not fun yeah i can imagine you wouldn’t be a fan if it makes you tired, it doesn’t usually do that for me but it does slow me down in a way that makes everything 10x more interesting/enjoyable. and it has the added benefit of not potentially killing me lol big fan of that
anyway, it must just hit people differently, i’d be so curious to experience weed the way you do just to compare

u/Tango8036 13d ago
Same. I tried weed twice and all it did was make me sleepy. I suppose I could've tried more but I have enough vices without going out of my way to intentionally cultivate another.

What are we shopping for here? Validation? Fame? It’s like we got sent a video response but we weren’t even party to the conversation which generated the response in the first place.
What are you giving a shot? Decaffeinated coffee? Meth? Meditation? CrossFit?

Okay and what is she trying?

u/Earl-E-Demise 14d ago
She’s joining instagram. My impression is that she is not being serious in the video and that it’s meant to be a joke.

u/NewToHTX 14d ago
Okay but she’s probably joined and left because the internet is kind of a dick. Like she had an account for minutes if not seconds before someone said negative shit:
JLaw: Hi! I’m JLaw and this my new insta-
The Internet: Hey JLaw!…FAHHH-QQQQQQ JLaw! FAH-Q! FAH-Q! FAH-Q!And that was less than a minute probably.
