This is like asking someone: "Are you sure you have a bad heart? You don't appear to be having a heart attack right this very second."
Having concentration problems does not mean one can never concentrate. Especially ridiculous to propose in response to such a short comment.
What are you talking about? How on earth did you extrapolate that?
Or did you take the fact that concentration problems aren't typically constant as a positive trait somehow?
If someone has seizures every hour, it doesn't make their seizures a positive trait just because they're not constant.
Holy shit. This is the most ick fucking cringe reply you could come up with.
This is the reply equivalent of people saying that climate change isn't real and global warming isn't happening because it gets cold in winter.
I get that you're trying to look at the potential positives of a situation. But your telling a group of people who are struggling to keep their heads above water how amazing it is they can hold their breath for so long. No shit we can hold our breath, the alternative is to drowned.
Bro, this shit is straight up insulting. Just shut the fuck up about things you very clearly don't understand.
What about it? It's not something we're in control of. It just kinda happens. It can be extremely disruptive to our lives, hence the qualification of it being diagnostic criteria for a disorder. For someone who experiences it as something destructive in their life, it's pretty fucking insulting to hear some jackass mythicize it as some "superpower". Especially after demonstrating a lack of knowledge on a subject they seem to feel entitled to have an opinion about anyway.
Are you trolling, or are you just legitimately that oblivious to the experiences of others?
This trope that ADHD is somehow a fucking gift needs to die. It's not. I don't need it to be who I am and it sure as fucking fuck didn't help me get ahead in life. It wasn't the price of being smart, everyone else is my family is smart without having to worry about things I do. Just... No. You're wrong about this.
I have EDS. I am 31 and haven't had a day without pain since 2nd grade. It's made me a tough son of a bitch with a crazy pain tolerance. That's come in handy, like when I jumped in to save my dog from a stray that attacked him. You can say my pain tolerance is a positive outcome of my degenerative joint condition.
If you came up to me trying to frame my suffering as something I should be chipper about, I'd probably chew you up and spit you in the trash.
This is just blatantly ignorant to anyone with any sense. You're just being disrespectful and demonstrating that you are disconnected from the reality of the situation.
I've thought of it like that before.
But it's like when I think about politics and human progression or regression in society. There're a lot of ideological ways to 'fix' the world in theory, but if one were to make those ideas plausible reality would have to be completely different. Ime it's hopeless to have that mindset, it's a set up for failure and negative social dissonance. But even though I know that... I still find myself doing it.
I can think of great things but at the end of the day it doesn't change the world or help me.
Wishful thinking is sometimes better in small doses?
Sorry I'm probably way off track. ðŸ«
thanks for using Leebra!

Hyperfocus is great. Too bad you don't get to pick what you focus on. ADHD isn't a lack of attention. It's a lack of control over attention.
Anyway, I'm going to go back to learning everything about cashews. I don't want to know about cashews, but it's not my fuckin choice, now is it.
