You see, I don't speak much when I meet new people and they think I'm an introvert or dislike them, while I actually keep quiet because I don't wanna them to know that I'm an idiot.

I did it, again. I bought a real-life, hold in my hands planner because I'm about to become a student again.
And the first question it has for me is:
'What time of the day do I feel most productive?'
and I know the true answer is somewhere around midnight but also, that is so not healthy and it's unsustainable and I'm desperate for more sleep in my life. My brain does not work as it is.
So I've not answered and closed it and put it aside.
(It made me think of this and so failing to find the gif I tracked down the specific interview and took photos because that I can do)

I might try again tomorrow.

word search games are my favorite time waster. forget tiktok- why watch random videos of random people doing random things for hours on end when i can waste the same amount of time finding every word in the english language except the ones the level wants me to find so i can get bonus points? wayyy more fun

I have a question for ADHD people and if please someone could answer me, I would be glad.
I have been known that my memory is not good or that I usually zone out during conversations and I forget things that someone told me about a meeting the next day or stuff that are told during a conversation.
I have been told usually that stuff were said or not said and that I just don't remember. And later I am thinking was it said or am I crazy. I have started thinking I am crazy.
Have you found a solution to that, have you experienced it?

when you have echolalia and it sounds so good from whatever source but you can't say it out loud in the exact same way and it doesn't sound right 😭

Me touring my highschool when I was in 8th like:
Me: Wow this place seems so inclusive! The people here seem nice. I think I’m masking well-
The guy touring me: are you retarded or are you ‘one of those kids’?

I have adhd and that's like having several Notebooks and 2 laptops with different operating systems that have hundreds of tabs open and music plays from the computers and at times the music gets on your nerves so you look for that one tab the music comes from to close it. Or you try to ignore it because sometimes the music is not as bad and it's just background noise.

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.
as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."
NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

Please, for the love of god, please don’t be this person. No matter how long it’s been since an update, no matter how many unfinished stories are sitting on their account, no matter what - do not be this person.
Not only is it insanely rude, but you also do more damage than you think be being such a self-entitled ass about something someone created for free and for fun. “This author” can see what you say.
RIP decency indeed.

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.
you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.
you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.
don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.
if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.
you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:
how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!
aren't you happy yet?

soooo… i think it’s become obvious that this blog has turned into another addition to my unfinished adhd projects collection. i didn’t mean for this to happen but i keep forgetting to post and i’ve already started like 3 other projects (send help!) so i think it’s fair that everyone knows that i probably won’t be on here much anymore. i’m planning on leaving everything up still, but yeah… i’m sorry guys!!! i’ll probably find this blog again in a few months and start posting again for a few weeks and then wash, rinse, & repeat lol. love you all!!!
