yep as someone diagnosed with adhd i really hate hearing the words “sorry i have adhd” coming out of my own mouth. i try to distance myself from it when i can because i recognize that it’s something that has negative impacts on my own life and on my relationships with people. i only use it to explain some of my bad habits if i have to. i work hard, and im ambitious. it’s not something that defines my personality. it’s just an obstacle.

tiktok has convinced everyone that they have a mental health issue using therapy speak and trying to categorize everyone. and you know what sometimes people just have quirks. sometimes people genuinely do just not want to do their hw because they’re tired. it’s not adhd. some people are just shy. it’s not autism. suggesting that it’s a condition means suggesting that it needs to be treated or is unfixable. it’s such a cop out that ignores human complexity

and yes i agree with you so much. my relationships suffer the most with people when i say “oh i have ADHD” instead of trying actually to stop interrupting people, START asking them about themselves, etc. things CAN be overcome and im not a mental health issue
