    My adhd says this is a lie. If I’m not good at something the first time, I’m bad at it and there’s nothing I can do about that. Ever.

    (Yes I know my brain lies to me, but it also takes shortcuts which directly lead to failure, so it isn’t entirely wrong, just right for the wrong reasons… and when it doesn’t take shortcuts it gets stuck in the planning loop and never progresses, because then it might fail…)

    Edit: wait. Wait. I understand the point of this post now… damnit.

      I realize you understand now, but I want to make perfectly clear that my intent in this post is not to discount or disparage people with adhd, etc.

      It’s people who deliberately try to misconstrue things for political reasons that I think is harmful.

      Edit: I thought this was a totally different post lol. Time to sleep.
