    Man, seeing myself in all these memes almost makes me think I could have ADHD. That would be too funny, right? …right?

      It’s complicated. Many ADHD traits are common in normies as well but usually to a lesser extent.

      “Haha, we all forget things from time to time, anon”
      Yes, well, some of us lose things literally every day, are literally incapable of paying bills on time, regularly don’t remember to eat or drink water thoughout the day, etc
      (This is a small selection of the many issues ADHDers have)

      Another example is this meme itself.
      Everyone does some people pleasing here and there yet in my life people pleasing has serious effects on my personal relationships and I’m having to learn to deal with this.
      “Mac, it’s not that we dont care and dont want to please them, i know. It’s that we arent going to please them at the expense of ourself, right?” Yes, brain… 😩

      If you feel that ADHD traits are actively having a negative effect on your life and causing you struggles then it might be worth getting checked out.

      This image describes me but Im 99% sure i dont have adhd. So it might not be the most accurate way to diagnose yourself.

            It is deleted on the post, I can still see it in my saved tab on my lemmy profile. Do you know why it was removed by a moderator?

            Take out #1 in the meme and it describes essentially the entire population. #2 is not indicative of having ADHD. In fact, ADHD symptoms are related to less appreciation of humor. In general, memes supposedly related to a disorder just describe things common to nearly everyone
