I have ADHD.

I often meet other people who have it who seem to think it’s a bad thing or feel ashamed of it.

Which i don’t relate to at all because I love being ADHD. It’s my superpower.

I remember getting diagnosed when was like 7 and they couldn’t figure out if I was retarded or a genius. Then the results came back and they were like turns out he’s a retarded genius lol

The key when you have ADHD is to only do things that interest you and not spend a single second doing things that don’t interest you.

Now I know you’re like “but Hodl, as an adult you have to do things that are boring and uninteresting in order to live”

Nope. Not true my friend.

Somebody has to do them, but not you.

I let other people do that shit… wife, business partners, lawyers, accountants etc…

If you have an ADHD brain you have a superpower that others don’t have.

The ability to lock in on something with hyper focus.

Other people don’t have that.

That’s rare.

Don’t give up your rare thing in order to do average boring mundane bullshit.

Let the neurotypical’s handle that.

Our self diagnosing culture makes normal people think they have ADHD and label it as a hinderance even though they’re completely normal and experience normal people shit. That’s why they lament “having” ADHD because it’s their fixed, externalized rationalization for not growing up or taking personal responsibility. “Well my ADHD prevents me from…(basic human shit).” Those people are just retarded.

I’m not cool enough to actually have ADHD. I thought I had it until I learned about dietary self care. Then I realized I was just retarded. In my experience, 99% of people who self diagnose themselves ADHD are just retards who haven’t realized it yet.

I’m not self diagnosed. I’m diagnosed since childhood. I don’t use it as an excuse though. Like I said I love having it.

No your story sounds legit. You actually got diagnosed by someone before TikTok university started pumping out therapists. Your approach of seeing it as the strength that it is is great! If people really think they have it then, use it. I just get really fucking annoyed with people who claim ADHD or OCD but exhibit normal human behavior and treat it like it’s something unique or profound.

Like, I was diagnosed depressed and considered suicide multiple times. I was riddled with anxiety. But then I started learning about the power of diet, lifestyle choices, and what neuro-inflammation is. I gradually made some changes and “cured” my depression and anxiety. Was I even sick to begin with or just malnourished?

There’s always a choice with how we handle these labels. I think you handle it brilliantly. But when people start saying, “Oh, I can’t do ____ because of my self diagnosed ADHD” I just wanna slap them.
