ADHD memes

Start typing, get distracted. Come back and realise I never hit post

People think that this is a form of apathy but it actually isn't. According to research by Cornell University conducted in 2009, they found that

My usual thought process is: Can’t be arsed to do a full write up that covers all my thoughts on the topic, and even if I did no one wants to read it.

If I write a summarised comment then people will just nitpick the bits I didn’t address, and I can’t be bothered to respond to replies.

When I type out a well thought out reply and realize where I'm posting it. They will not appreciate my hot takes.

Usually for me I just wrote something in far more of an aggressive tone than I realized and the comment is not worth retyping everything I wrote so far.

Daily lmao.

i stopped caring about life alltogether. years start to mean shit when someone decides how long should it take to finish a curriculum or how long u ll have to grind to reach that higher pay position..i mean if nothing were up to me, why would i still care? this shouldn't be adhd exclusive, or i might hav adhd. bothways, idc ( at some point doctor called me bipolar, and in my mind, i was like: sure bro) psychiatry is sometimes overrated and ineffective, seems like big pharma funded snake oil kinda science, just a pretense to churn out ineffective chemicals for psychotropes. have problem: smoke weed or something, although i didnt try yet

When people start replying you questions that need super long responses and links that they can just find themselves from Google

And yet some have no such filter and start firing off comments without a second thought.

They didn't read article, didn't spend time forming an opinion, and yet they may still be the highest voted comment in the thread. It's like drive-by comment diarrhea.

I wish most threads had a "serious conversation" area separated from the humor/low-effort section.

Anyone else think this dude in this meme looks like a 20-something Gregory House?

Are you trying to imply people with ADHD, as in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, have an attention span long enough not to reply?

Had something really clever to say about this but then I

I have a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition that this

I think this is actually a positive sign. At least a step in the right direction. Increased awareness and cutting your losses, not being further drawn in by the sunk-cost or completion bias.

Same with entering into pote trial flamewars or debates. Too tired, dont care

People aren't that great online at hearing what you mean not what you're saying. The implications normally drawn by assuming the other person is either of basic intelligence or aware of the context are thrown out the window in favor of Internet points.

It's exhausting. Sometimes that's why I like mastodon or twitter or threads or nostr. Whatever pick your poison. Point is I want to say my fucking piece and not have to add all this extra context so the other person doesn't call me an idiot on some niche part of what I said.

Thinking about it from the commenters perspective: People online need to go back to just saying what they actually meant to say without prefacing everything. If that happened we'd at least have a more fulfilling experience. There's a reason folks leave knee jerk comments and don't elaborate further because the sentiment is popular too.

This happens alot, I feel strongly about a comment, start typing something up, then

Für mich, es ist nicht nur Kommentaren, aber

More like start writing a comment. Realize you said you weren't going to get involved so type out the rest of your spiel and delete it. This anytime tipping comes up.

I totally didn't do this multiple times today.

I still care. I just don't want to potentially start an argument I don't intend to engage in.

Sometimes I just hit send mid sentence and never look back.

That's why I would love a "save draft" option on Lemmy. First I could write down what I want, keep it and decide later if I really want to send it and even if I don't want to, I could keep it and maybe re-use it some other day or just learn from what I felt the moment I wrote this.

It happens to us all eventually, the longer we interact online. The reality is, it's necessary to counter misinformation for society as a whole going forward and while I try to jump in where possible, I've definitely stayed out of more and more controversial discussions. That's said, I respect and appreciate the next generation taking up the torch. We need you.
