Everyone wants to be neurodivergent

...See more This is something that has been on my mind for long long time now and that a fair amount of people might get mad at. Before I start, im trying my hardest to not gatekeep ADHD and neurodiversity, I believe that the more correct diagnosis are given, the better. I feel like so many people these days are looking for anyone to validate their self diagnosis of ADHD. On every adhd centered social area I have ever been in, the constant message is "Oh I took an online quiz and it said I have adhd. How do I get a diagnosis?" And my immediate reaction is "you shouldn't be saying that you have adhd, when no doctors have diagnosed you. And an online quiz doesn't mean anything." And I get pretty annoyed. Part of me knows that there is a large amount of people on the internet who really want to have adhd but don't. And a large amount who have it but don't know. And I run into those people all the time. And idk man it pisses me off. So here is where I will talk about it. I think one reason I get so annoyed is that as much as I hate being neurodivergent, it gives me some sort of feeling of being special. And when everyone says that they are special, you don't feel special anymore. The people like that aren't doing any harm or being offensive in any way, but I still let them get to me. Focusing on yourself is easier said than done. That's the deep down reason, but I still want to talk about it. I think that a lot of the people who self diagnose adhd online do not understand the struggle adhd provides to people like me. I don't think they understand the unhealthy levels of hyperfixation, I don't think they understand the comorbids, I don't think they really understand the struggle. But yet again, it's a little bit different for everyone, there is always going to be varying levels of adhd. But it still annoys me when those type of people undermine the serious psychological meaning of those terms by saying "omg I am like totally hyperfixated on my bf lol. It's my adhd acting up" (reak thing I have heard) Idk man, I'm ranting like usual. But it still bugs me when those people mention those things. Am I a jerk? Or do any of you feel the same? -Rack
I'm good at nothing

...See more I feel like I cannot get good at anything. With my adhd I pick up and drop hobbies all the time. The second i start to commit to a hobby, I loose interest in it. This forces me to stop improving. I feel like I am not good at anything. I'm not getting any funnier, I'm not getting any more athletic, and I'm not getting better at school. It seems everyone around me is good at something, Jacob is good at playing instruments, my sister is good at cameras and filming, Erika is good at swimming and soccer, Campbell is good at drawing, Leo is good with lizards, my dad is good with computers, my mom is good with teaching. It seems everyone has found something that they are good at but me. I swap interests like crazy. Even something I improve on when I'm interested, I drop. I already have such low self esteem, and seeing all these other people be so much better at what they do ruins me. It's not that I'm not confident, but I have burned the idea that if I get even a little bit proud in any skill I have, I will be a cocky @$$hole. School ends in two years, and I'm worried that if I don't get good at something soon, I will fail and flop. Even when I think I'm not bad at something, that voice in my head says "oh you aren't good at all, in fact, you are terrible" I'm trying to stick to drawing as much as possible, because I like creating things, art, music, writing. See the problem is that when I do become confident in my skill of and ability, I do better at that thing. When I'm confident that I'm going to draw something I'm proud of, I do. Long sob story short, I cannot seem to get good at something. I know your initial reaction is probably, "oh, you are young. Don't worry about being good at something, just do what you like" and to that I say, it's easier said than done. It's so devastating seeing everyone else in your life exell at something while you are left in the dust. It really really is. Anyway, peace out gamers. Untill next time -Ross J

...See more Hey, this is a place for me and you to rant/vent/etc, I got this idea from Astra (thanks Astra!). All of these posts are delayed from when events in them actually happened becuase I don't have internet access to directly post them, so I might post them a few days or so from when I write them. -your frend Rack
