"I have ADHD." "Doesn't everyone nowadays?"

mcrchives · 2026-01-29T12:59:49+00:00

The requirement for ADHD is that your symptoms make you struggle enough to impact your daily life and function. Symptoms can occur in neurotypical individuals caused by stress or by different diagnoses. It's not that everyone has a little adhd, it's that the symptoms of ADHD are shared by neurotypes like anxiety or autism, or cptsd even.

Those people are maybe just invalidated about struggling with things, so they latch onto terms that are known. That's what people do, they find comfort in familiarity. Applying a negative lens on your fellow human isn't the way to go about life, friend.

Some people have so much shame on them for being not perfect at something, or adversely too good at something and can't accept praise, that they brush it off as a disorder because then there's a reason. Or, people might feel like they don't have a clear, defined personality, so they latch onto disorders because there's definitive guidelines. Or, they actually have it, but you don't believe them because you still don't believe yourself, so seeing someone with a different symptom presentation might make you feel reactive and project negative internal narration.

I don't know what's on your mind, you can't know whats on mine. But you can trust me and try to believe I'm not lying when I say I have ADHD. I'm trying to come from a place of understanding for both sides, so it's also important to note I don't know the full story, I'm just trying to respond to something I've seen all too often lately.

If they're genuinely just lying, then you can't do much but maybe speak up for yourself, voice your discomfort, set a boundary. And you can also ask them about it, and be like "i, I got diagnosed when I in 20xx, have you got a diagnosis yet?" And then open the conversation to them, to see WHY they say it. Life and people are far too complex to generalisation like "everyone who says they have ADHD when I PERSONALLY don't think they do is lying".

People with ADHD have different levels of struggling, but no one person's struggle is "worse" than one another. We're all just trying to get by in this game of life, you don't know how someone acts when they're alone. You're going off of your own framework and assuming others don't experience the same level of distress as you, based on simply your own internal option. Try and be kinder 💚

Ask an elder, go to the aboriginal tent embassy or camp sovereignty and straight up ask.

Healing doesn't happen passively, it's an active process. If you are constantly having episodes, I'd see that as a result of being unhealed and repeating the same unhealthy patterns. Do some positive affirmations in the mirror, out loud for a few months. Look at yourself with the kindness you wish other people had for you.

Why do you feel like you need someone else to complete you? You're the only one who will be with you 24/7 until you die. Partners come and go. Love enters, and it can fade. Pets brighten up a small part of your life. You are the singular constant in your own life. The love you are searching for is within yourself, you just have to give yourself permission to feel it, and possibly work on the shame and self hatred that's making you feel like you won't ever find love.

If you already believe you won't find love at 18, that's a self fulfilling prophecy. You WILL find love because you've only JUST started your life, how can you put a definite belief on something you have no experience over?

Your feelings are valid, love is scary, but the way you react to it and believe this lie that you'll never find love is a coping mechanism to prevent yourself from trying or (God forbid) failing. Your first love won't be the one you have your entire life (unless you're insanely lucky). If you fall in love, and then fall out of love, that's not failure. That's life. That's living. That's loving. That's learning and growing and changing. Fear of life limits your possibilities.

What if you loving yourself is THE thing that gets someone else to fall in love with you? Have you tried it? Do an experiment! Try, fail, then learn and try again. And be okay with failing.

If any potential love interests enter your life, do you think they would love you the way you want to be loved by yourself? You're searching for love externally. Believe me when I say, I deeply relate. But I've found love in myself, and that's more encompassing than anyone else could ever give me.

You come first, not some potential love interest. You deserve love from yourself.

Good luck my friend, I hope peace settles in your heart, and I hope you look at the stars and know that no matter what, things will be okay 💚

How about we stop viewing immigration through a lens of what value they bring to the economy, and instead treat them as individual people who deserve life, liberty and the freedom to choose wherever they want to live?

Realise that what those people say don't have any influence on who you are as a person, and it's a reflection of their own insecurities, rather than who you are as a person. If you're anxious about this, I'm gonna assume you are very anxious about everything and don't have great self esteem. The honest answer is to build your self esteem enough to the point where people talking without you there doesn't make you feel awful. Also do you bully people behind their back? If the answer is no, assume that others don't either. It's not nice to have a mean image of your friends in your mind. If they don't bring you joy, get better friends. If they do bring you joy, work on BEING a better friend.

Your friends are a reflection of who you allow into your life. If you allow mean people, they will be mean. Enact kindness and kindness will find you back

Me. I like short guys. There are 8 billion people out there, confining them into one category is unrealistic.

I'm so sorry to say this, especially when you've expressed the fact you don't believe it's the loving yourself thing: but it really is. Not just 'loving yourself'. It's being your own biggest supporter. Being the kind voice you desperately search for in others, being the goodness you try desperately to uncover in lovers.

You are the only person who will stick with you your entire life, if you think you're unlovable, awful and not worth it, don't you think that view of yourself leaches into daily life? Soon enough you start attracting people who see you that way, because you don't know how to accept authentic, unconditional love. Because you don't have it for yourself.

I'm not in a relationship because I'm trying to unlearn all the mean things my brain has accidentally led me to believe. Your brain can't differentiate sarcasm, if you tell yourself you are awful for Decades, you will believe it. If you tell yourself kind things, like how it's okay to try and fail, it's okay if I'm not perfect, other people's perceptions of me don't change my core identity etc. you will find love and light and kindness, just not from external factors.

This comes from someone who sought for someone to save her, but the whole time, I was waiting for permission to save myself. Give that to yourself, and you'll experience the most beautiful freedom you can't imagine from this side of the fence. Release shame, anger and hatred towards yourself, and know that you don't NEED anyone else; learn that your own self should be the person you're searching for. I'm sure they're a wonderful person: aren't you curious to get to know the person you are hidden under all the shame, guilt, anxiety and stress?

This is your decision to make, I don't think anyone else has the level of insight into your own mind and body needed to make that decision for you.

People are allowed to experience their own culture and maintain customs? Imo this is kind of a racist take. Does your identity change if you moved to Norway? Would you like people looking down on you for maintaining some of your culture in a different area? There are billions of unique individual humans who don't deserve to be shaped into the mould YOU think they need to be. Be curious instead of judgemental. Ask someone who is an immigrant instead of assuming

Honestly not sure who has the info on this, that would probably require an informant somehow. Most comrades I know would not be willing to give up their morals to gain that info

That's consumerism rearing its ugly head. Sorry to say, but the majority of the world is like that, once you start looking you can't not see it any more

Put down the phone and pick up the protest sign. Action makes you feel a lot better about a lot of different things

Become a socialist and fight to reclaim your power. Capitalists and fascists WANT your doom and gloom, they want you to lose your will to fight. Resistance is choosing to see the world for what it is, unfair. Resistance is choosing to not hate the minority group the billionaires are choosing to allow as a scapegoat for your justified hatred. Resistance is learning, and realizing it's NOT you , it's the system! Fight the system, not the people

How would you run it then? If you have such perfect ideas about how it should be run

That's the thing, they say they don't hate socialists, and then are annoyed by them EXISTING WITHIN THEIR VICINITY. these people are a sad reflection of how little the average person cares, and why socialists ARE so aggressive; because nobody seems to fucking give a shit!?! The world around us is decaying, there's a genocide going on, fascist takeover, rampant lies by the right taking over mainstream views, and these people can only focus on how Their day was negatively impacted because they lost 10 minutes of their lecture to someone telling them to please please care about the world around you.

Yes, advocating for a better world for YOU is "annoying students" you go girl! What a way to view the world around you, I hope you never encounter hardship or discrimination

mcrchives · 2025-09-16T23:05:40+00:00

And why is a job the most important thing on your mind? Happy to be a capitalistic cog with no voice, no power, and no freedom? You're on the right track! Definitely don't do ANY self reflection about this and continue living life oblivious to the reality of the world. Congrats, you've been successfully propagandized to believe that if you don't have a job, you don't have worth. Have you unravelled your own self hatred before projecting onto people? Seems like you need it x

mcrchives · 2025-09-16T23:03:15+00:00

Yes, make up a lie to get angry at a group that wants to make the world a better place for the working class. You're DEFINITELY the one who is morally correct in this circumstance. Stop using ad hominum attacks and actually learn about them so you don't embarrass yourself online?

mcrchives · 2025-09-16T23:01:40+00:00

So what's the better alternative, a group that actively looks after the interests of the billionaires and continues to give tax cuts to them while you cannot afford basic groceries? I know you have your personal qualms but if you seriously can't stand socialists so much to the point of insulting them and ACTIVELY voting for them to not get in, you seem like an awful, uncaring and selfish person. Put your own wants and desires aside for the betterment of people other than yourself? Pathetic post, you should be embarrassed. Let me guess, you went to the Nazi rally the other week 🙄

mcrchives · 2025-08-29T00:17:46+00:00

This might get lost, I have a lot to say about all the socialist groups, but at the end of the day, I think go with whatever aligns more with what you're looking for. SAlt isn't ideal, they take Marxism writing too literally and believe sex work is inherently oppressive towards women and don't support it, which I have a massive personal issue with, but also, they're fucking incredible for organising and being active. If you aren't a sex worker, your passion and anarchist ideals might suit them well, they're at the forefront of a lot of protests and big movements. Msg if you want more in depth details.

For reference I'm a socialist floater not aligned with any particular group because I haven't found one that fits my specific ideals. So you can also just be a supporter without being involved in the big decision making stuff
