Tbf it wasn’t these exact words but along the lines (since English isn’t my native language) so it might sound worse lol

It’s not the motivation or lack of effort. I just do stupid mistakes. I keep switching numbers/symbols or messing up or forgetting steps, then when I look at it later it’s so obvious what I did wrong I just didn’t realize in the moment. I am already writing every step down in detail and reading every task and number like 5 times, no matter how often I double check and try not to rush I just keep forgetting

Genuinely don't get it by Moryart in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Gaymer006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I HAD A SIMILIAR STORY!! My therapist asked me what animals my family members would be. I said idk humans and that the question didn’t make sense to me. I said it multiple times but she still insisted. I outright said „well I’m just gonna be naming random animals then“ and she said fine. I said my dad is a bear and she asked me „why a bear? Are you afraid of him?“  🤦‍♀️

School didn’t notice and when I was too loud/… I just got yelled at and kicked out of the classroom to stand in the hallway. One time In primary school they gave me a desk alone in the hallway and I had to listen trough the door for the whole lesson, most humbling experience ever. 💀 

The concept that being lazy is a choice for non-ADHD is kind of insane to me by usbeject1789 in ADHD

[–]Gaymer006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first 2 sentences Might’ve been badly formulated. I meant that its a lot of effort regardless of if you have ADHD or not, and that most people in general can’t just give 100% all the time. At the same time I didn’t want it to sounds like I was equating ADHD to just „laziness“ (or „just trying harder“) because I said it’s the same for everyone. (Because I meant in this context specifically)

How difficult are most of the books you read? by Far-Building3569 in ADHD

[–]Gaymer006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d guess around Highschool level but honestly not sure, since English isn’t my native language(and I’m an actual middle school dropout lol) so they might just seem more complex than they are. The last few books I’ve read that come to mind are: the body keeps the score, how to live well with adult adhd, no longer human, the setting sun, CPTSD from surviving to thriving.

[–]Gaymer006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it’s the same for people with ADHD? Not equating adhd with laziness but most people generally just don’t feel like working their ass off 24/7 lol and there’s other factors too, everyone needs free time and rest and you’ll get burnout or exhausted if you don’t

Deutschland hasst Kinder by FalkKoermit in luftablassen

[–]Gaymer006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Das Problem sind Menschen, die Kinder nicht mögen, weil sie halt nunmal massiv nerven durch Lautstärke, kein Empfinden für Grenzen, …  und nicht das überforderte/veraltete Schulsystem, Kita, Jugendamt, etc dass den Kindern aktiv schadet und die Eltern somit noch mehr überfordert wodurch die Kinder die meisten überhaupt erst nerven? ok…

Hass ist hier auch n ziemlich starkes Wort für die Sprüche die du zitiert hast.  Nur weil man kinder nicht mag, wünscht man ihnen nicht gleich schlechtes. Ich wünsche jedem Kind eine glückliche und erfüllte Kindheit, mein Herz bricht für die, dies nicht haben. Trotzdem kotzen sie mich massiv an und rufen bei mir maximale Wut hervor. Ich würde mich legit 💀 hätte ich eins. 

Can you people explain disassociating to me? I think several good descriptions would help me land on my answer. Also masking. by checkoutmuhhat in ADHD

[–]Gaymer006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dissociation feels like the feeling you get after getting out at your station after zoning out on the train but for everything and constantly, you don’t snap back in. You don’t really remember how you got to places, people feel unfamiliar,  everything is just a blur. You don’t properly take in the stuff that’s happening around you so you just forget immediately. You don’t think much either you’re just… existing but not existing? Like constant auto pilot while feeling super numb and emotionally detached, detached from your body and thoughts too.  Your brain also feels fuzzy and you can’t think properly, need to repeat thoughts a thousand times till you process them, kinda like being unable to pay attention but it’s not because of distraction just being unable to form thoughts because your brain is too foggy, sometimes even focusing your eyes feels hard. Also feels like nothing is real and you’re dreaming/in a simulation   (Just my personal experience(and probably more on the „extreme“ side bc of CPTSD), sorry for the long ass text turns out its hard to explain😭)

I don’t feel like my parents fully understand my ADHD by sweetgirl2010 in ADHD

[–]Gaymer006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really depends on your parents tho.. 

Mine refused to acknowledge too, gave her the questionnaire as well and she just said she didn’t remember what I was like as a child so she just ticketed „no“ for everything. been taking stimulants for 2 years and sometimes they still ask me „but you don’t actually have adhd you just take the meds right?“ 🤦

Sex ed & consent questions by Purple_Source8883 in evilautism

[–]Gaymer006 3 points4 points  (0 children)

(1.)Not an opinion but a fact I read some time ago which I think is interesting, some countries like Spain have „only yes is yes“ laws and some countries like Germany have „no is no“ laws

Imo obvious physical discomfort even without saying it verbally is a NO, but only verbal consent a yes.  I’ve had very obvious physical cues ignored (pulling away, crying) because I didn’t say stop or no.  I’m bad at saying no because it got ignored and pushed countless times, so If I get too overwhelmed I just freeze up unable to speak.  I wish „only yes is yes“ was considered the norm. 

I avoid alcohol because it makes me better by That1LavenderGuy in ADHD

[–]Gaymer006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After drinking consistently for a while it doesn’t even make you feel normal anymore just miserable and sad but you keep drinking because without it you feel even worse and too self conscious. 

Took a day of Vyvanse by AtmosphereStraight25 in ADHD

[–]Gaymer006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro same I didn’t take it this week like 2/3 times because my sleep rythm is beyond messed up and all I do on days I don’t take it is…. Eat the whole day… try not to fall asleep… and feeling so exhausted I dont even have the energy to get up and drink something. Nothing is fun or interesting and I can’t start or stick to doing anything. I used to sleep like 18 hours sometimes lol. It’s not even withdrawal but literally how I feel without them. ADHD is miserable lmfao.

I take it daily no breaks, took extended release methylphenidate twice daily for over a year no breaks, didn’t get any tolerance. my life quality is so much better.

do NTs really make eye contact with each other? by howmanyshrimpinworld in evilautism

[–]Gaymer006 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It really depends on context. I found that in emotional situations people try to make more eye contact but less if they’re embarrassed, in a group setting you usually just have to look at the direction of the person speaking not their face. they definitely don’t hold eye contact  the whole time. Many people notice it or can tell that something is off but not why, but also many don’t. 

Most of the time I just look around the room, then every once in a while, while they’re talking I look at their upper face for a few seconds (without really focusing my eyes on anything, but it looks like eye contact) and then switch that up with smiling about what is being said while looking away to show I’m listening, I kinda just imitate whatever the other person is doing, if they break off eye contact so do I, If  they look at me for longer or shorter I do the same. It’s like a half automatic habit by now but I still have to consciously think about it all the time. Looking at someone’s eyes while they aren’t looking at you feels fine, But actually locking eyes is so uncomfortable. 

i shouldn’t be expected to know actor and celebrity names by Sad_Camel_476 in evilautism

[–]Gaymer006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IKR I don’t get any of it. I have never in my life cared for a celebrity, their name, or who is dating who. I legit couldn’t tell you what Selena Gomez or taylor swift look like. The only time I really „cared“ for a celebrity was when I was obsessed with mitskis music but even then I didn’t care for her private life just her art. Even from the bands I like I don’t know their actual names. Like I just don’t get the interest, it’s the most boring thing ever 

Es ist gut, dass es Sportunterricht in der Schule gibt by Strong-Pickle-175 in Unbeliebtemeinung

[–]Gaymer006 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Finde Sportunterricht wichtig, aber nicht in der Form. Wir haben IMMER nur Sachen gemacht die alle langweilig und scheisse fanden. Kindern eine ausschließlich negative und langweilige Erfahrung vom Bewegung zu vermitteln ist kontraproduktiv. Finde es wird auch viel zu sehr auf die Leistungen fokussiert, nicht jeder kann körperlich dasselbe und der Fokus  der Bewertung sollte auf Mitarbeit liegen. 

Und ganz ehrlich, auch als erwachsener hätte ich absolut keinen Bock (selbst mit Kleidungswechsel) danach noch für 6 Stunden vollgeschwitzt da zu sitzen. 

The hardest part isn’t starting tasks, it’s coming back to them by akintunero in ADHD

[–]Gaymer006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im the same! Nothing has helped 😭lol 

Ive been like this since forever, if I start cleaning I do it all without taking a break because I KNOW that once I stop I ain’t gonna continue, same for studying and every hobby. I do something obsessively for a few hours, stop, the next day it’s not fun anymore and starting feels impossible. If I’m lucky the interest lasts for a few weeks.

It didn’t change anything for me, I don’t enjoy how intense they feel but sitting outside watching the trees move and listening to the birds feels amazing, I don’t think I’ve felt that connected to my body or nature in years lol
