It's Internet Explorer's last day, so it's mandatory to post this relic.

Friendly reminder that this world was designed for neurotypicals and if you’re neurodivergent or mentally ill and you’re struggling, please be kinder to yourself because you’re doing your best in a world that wasn’t designed for you

you didn’t deserve to get bullied just because you were “weird”

To all the people who constantly zoned out and daydreamed as a kid and probably told off for it, who learnt how to cry silently before the age of ten and maybe stopped crying entirely, who used books as an escape method and would constantly daydream about running off to a fantasy world, who is most likely now a burnt-out neurodivergent who didn't get diagnosed early so they self-diagnosed instead, and who now wants to groan at the thought of having to wake up another day,

how's the childhood trauma, deep-rooted love hate relationship with your parents, lack of self-esteem and sense of self, and raging queerness doing? you good?

Ok so we all love a hyperfixation but does anyone else ever avoid certain things because you feel like you don't have the time to be fixated on that, or that you aren't in the right headspace for this to become your latest obsession

Me, not talking: Ah fuck, I am being weird

Me, talking: Ah fuck, I am being weird

everything is so hard because i have so many Big Thoughts and not the words to explain them and it hurts it aches i wish i could just say things i think why is it always so hard to put thoughts and emotions into words

that adhd feel when you're on the internet and are slowly running out of dopamine giving activities to perform so you're just obsessively and frantically jumping from tab to tab with increasing desperation

the adhd urge to never have any emotion vs the adhd urge to break down over not walking on the right side of the street

Currently getting slightly mad trying to explain to people that I can’t just watch movies/tv shows, I have to wait for my random burst of motivation (which can take months to appear and only lasts for a few hours). People keep saying “you must not be interested in it then” or “just watch it now”. It doesn’t work like that. Or am I crazy? Idk.

Growing up with adhd/autism is constantly fluctuating between being too much and not enough for people like. Okay people have told me I'm annoying when I talk too much. But how much is too much? Because my normal is "too much" apparently. I'm just not going to talk at all and let them set the pace. Okay now everyone's saying "you're so quiet". Now I'm the weird quiet one who never talks. Fuck. But now how do I strike up a conversation? It's been too long without talking to them to get to know each other. I'm just going to wait for them to talk to me and then I can ask questions from there. Yay! They're asking me about myself! Wait. I said something wrong and they're not talking to me anymore. Fuck. *new person comes along* Okay. Don't talk too much and also don't talk too little and don't reveal too much about yourself because they'll think you're weird and stop talking to you and also-
