“You don’t have ADD, you just need to learn how to focus.”

Real r/thanksImcured energy there.

She’s literally describing ADD.

I thought i was in r/thanksImcured for a moment lol

I hate when people tell me that "you are smart and capable, if only you applied yourself more".

Or "you are always so unfocused. If only you cared, you wouldn't have forgotten about [something I actively tried NOT to forget, unsuccessfully]". Or telling me to "stop wearing those damn noise cancelling headphones everywhere, they disconnect you from real world"

Meanwhile even basic chores are unbearably hard.. :-(

My mom literally just said "If you're going to keep being.... you and forgetting not to feed the dog early, feed him half."

As if I'm intentionally forgetting when/how to feed the dog.
