ADHD memes

I'm a neurotypical, but this is me too! I sometimes wanted to type a whole paragraph arguing with tankies/fascists, then realize, what's the point, so I just ignore them.

Haha that's so--

Actually, never mind. I don't care that much.

I have a strange fear of being engaged by trolls. The thought alone is exhausting. I may or may not take the bait but the possibility of wasting my time on a useless argument means I'm hesitant to post. Not sure if anyone else has felt like this.

Not necessarily anything to do with ADHD. Sometimes I just realise that writing whatever I'm writing would just trigger someone to start a fight. Then I stop.

Do you ever type out a multiple paragraph argument about something and then just delete it because it’s all bullshit anyway?

Mostly it's like I keep editing and editing to get the right tone for a somewhat offensive style joke so I don't have too many people not understanding it's a joke before I think "fuck it, this is too much work for a stupid joke."

I started 4 responses in this thread and submitted 2 of them. I'm proud of myself. Oh! This one makes 3!

When you realize that you don't have to reply to a person on the internet, then you are truly free

I was about to respond but then I

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

I completely

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

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.

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

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.

Or that I don't actually have anything to contribute and that my opinion has already been stated so I won't be adding anything original to the conversation.

Yup. I just suddenly realize that I don't actually give a fuck.

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

I totally didn't do this multiple times today.

Daily lmao.

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.

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.

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.

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

Für mich, es ist nicht nur Kommentaren, aber

hahaha, I do this all the fucking time it's funny how similar we ca-

I do this allll the time. I'm like do i want to engage in this conversation? NOPE lol

I have a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition that 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.

Pfff. I ignore most replies all together. Half the time people didn't even read my comment. But also because I'll have moved on and don't care anymore.

Same goes for this comment.

I don't care enough to hold whatever rubbish my brain is spiting out so I send it anyway

Ditto

Had something really clever to say about this but then I
