I feel this hard

Fuck yeah! Nailed it. Now to convince the wife

Let me read this to my son he’s gonna love it.

Wait, he’s gone noooo

Let go and lock in.

But life is more mysterious when you do it undiagnosed

True

It’s interesting how the mainstream medical world views ADHD as a brain condition, but they can’t show a “ADHD” with an MRI.

So odd they diagnose you with a condition because you refuse to pay attention to stuff you find boring and are full if life and energy

This basically describes most healthy males, but modern schooling is feminine and boys are forced to conform.

I was about to ask what you decided to be hyper focused on 🤦

Shitposting, obviously. And you truly are one of the greats 😎

And this is why I work on my lightning node and nobody else gets it.

ADHD isn't real. It was invented to sell micro-doses "meth" to a vulnerable population of young boys after they eliminated physical exercise in school. Tom Cruise was right.

Wise words from a wise man.

GM retarded genius 🤣

I hope you enjoy writing because I love reading your stories. They always make me smile.

Totally. We shouldn’t medicate away our Nietsches or our Kierkegaards

This is not the first time that I've said "I think that I needed to hear this today"..

how about when ADHD means you hate managing other people?

I end up cleaning, washing, everything myself, because I think the help is more trouble than it is worth

They used to just call that 'laziness'.

I see it as a learning difference and not a “disorder”. Our mainstream educational system of forcing kids to sit in desks and focus for hours on end are what make it a “disorder”. There was no major issue on the farm, aside from maybe some occasional forgetfulness. 🤪

Could not related to this more strongly.

Sometimes I see people ask what superpower I'd want if I could chose any... I'm an autist with ADHD. I already got all the superpowers I could ask for.

I found (as someone who has never been able to afford others to do my menial tasks for me) that I have to somehow trick myself into wanting to do the task, or smoke enough weed that I no longer give a shit and just do it half assed enough to say it's done.

ADHD is a scam made up by fake doctors and other typea of parasites.

You don't have ADHD, you have a healthy outlook on life and you are a nerd at heart that looks and sounds like a troll.

Many such cases.

I'm a retard too. Full retard but non-diagnosed. Any fake doctors around that care to officially diagnose me?

I do average normal mundane bullshit while listening to audiobooks at 2.7x

I couldn’t do either one separately but together is where the retarded genius autism spectrums intersect

A great book for tapping into this superpower is nostr:npub1hxc2wfc9xxv7nlek0mrdj80p6mqg07zfhk8fua35j06ykeuxg57qm2r77e's book, Driven. Highly recommend!

People without this ability have no idea what they are missing. It's the how and why I got into bitcoin in the first place. It drove my ancestors to go farther and settle new land. It drove me to settle in the new finacial cyberspace, and generations from now my bloodline will remember that.

Don't let others define your state. Feel good and hodl on. That's it!

Not a fan of this label for a few reasons. I don't think it is a disorder. It's only inconvenient for those that try to force kids to sit at desks listening to a lame adult talk for 8 hours a day. In a different time this type of mind would be considered more of an asset. I agree with you that it's a super power.

The arrogance of the medical profession calling it a disorder is pretty wild to me. To me that would be like calling being left handed a disorder. This type of mind is different. That's all. Has some advantages and disadvantages depending on the situation or environment.

"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."

Took me way too long to realize this. It's hard to do in any sort of relationship though. I have resigned to be single forever because of it.

🔥🔥 I’m always talking about this with people. Especially now that I’m noticing a lot of people in my circles taking Adderall. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t want to learn how to focus this super power instead of completely muting it. I’ve always known it’s my edge on the world.

This is such a refreshing take. So many people see ADHD as a limitation, but it’s really about reframing it. The ability to hyper-focus is such a gift, especially in a world that’s constantly pulling us in a million directions. It’s inspiring to see someone embracing their unique brain and building a life that lets them thrive. Thanks for sharing!

That’s why I’m a chef. Same thing happened to me but when I was 12.

ADHD is absolutely a superpower. my wife also loves the variety, the creativity and the hustle and bustle. I wouldn't know what I would do without my ADHD. Seems super boring to me without all that energy ⚡️

This sounds like the take of a privileged spoiled brat. “Get your wife to do it.” Jesus fucking Christ. Or be rich enough to pay lawyers and accountants to do shit for you. Holy hell obviously not everyone is rich enough to pay someone to do annoying stuff for them. “I am special so I only have to things I want to do 😡😡.” Be robust and have some damn accountability for your life. Am I misinterpreting what you said?

You ever read Scattered Minds by Gabor Maté? Gives some great insights into ADHD.

ADHD is a superpower!

If you embrace it and structure your life around it...

I literally just posted something about ADHD! I #asknostr and #askingadoctor because I was never formally diagnosed, but sometimes I really feel like I have it! Today, I’ve started probably five different things.

I totally get what you’re saying about not doing things you don’t like, but I definitely have to. I’m the wife doing the paperwork my husband doesn’t have time for, 🤣 and I’m working on other people’s content to make some money so I can eventually just focus on my podcast—which is the fun part of my day!

Thanks for sharing your perspective! It’s refreshing to hear someone embrace it as a superpower. How do you stay focused on the things you love while juggling everything else? Would love to hear your tips!

But it’s still annoying

Wanna be a happy retard 🫣

Wife has adhd.

Has a hard time with some daily things like car key management & phone placement 😂 but runs the volunteer program at the local animal shelter like a maniac CEO on crack. Has for 13 years now & loves it more than anything. Hyperfocused is an understatement.

Her:

“I can’t find my keys”

also her

“I am successfully managing over 20 new volunteer schedules for cat duties, dog training/walking & facilities cleaning”.

Can confirm,

Dropped out of highschool in this exact mode.

I'm with you. Just diagnosed at 46. Always knew I was a little different. Learning to delegate that stuff I shouldn't do and focus on my strengths. 💪

Agreed. Surgeons don't do nurse work unless they have no other choice.

Surgeons spending time on nurse work is opportunity cost.

ADHD people do have super ninja focus. It's a horrible name. It's not a deficit of attention and it's not a disorder either, so I renamed it years ago.

I call it CHARR: Cognitive Hyperactivity with Attentional Resource Reallocation.

I view the pool of one's attentional resources like a pie chart. Typically, a certain amount of one's attention is allocated to each of the senses,

ADHD people seem to be able to reallocate that pie chart such that attentional resources are reallocated from one sensory system to another.

A typical ADHD moment is when the ADHD person has reallocated attentional resources to the eyes from the ears. At this point the ears are in "emergency mode" only. During this period of visual super ninja focus, the ADHD person may "block out" many sounds. Bloodcurdling screams, alarms, sirens, loud banging, or direct address (hearing their own name) may be enough to pull them out of this state, however anything short of that will fail to impact their attention.

ADHD people 200 years ago would have been regarded as top tier scouts, hunters, trackers, explorers, and warriors, among other roles well suited to the ADHD neurology. Today, ADHD people are surrounded by sensory stimulation. Noise drowns out signal and noise can easily annoy ADHD people because it obfuscates their ability to identify targets of interest, threats, etc.

No joke. https://video.nostr.build/68a199eedb3fd0929f40dccc286fcab3a43a4d58df5ab7b6723af5fd8a46219a.mp4

'Superpowers' always come with great costs, especially when you spend your whole life suffering more losses than gains without even knowing why.

But I'm glad you discovered it early on, learned how to deal with it and make it work for you.

💯 my ADHD is what makes me awesome. Wouldn’t want to live a boring neurotypical life.

i’ve always known that my brain wasn’t “typical”

i identify as highly perceptive/high-sensory, and more recently learned i may be an AuDHDer, which came as a shock but not as a surprise

it explains so much about patterns in my life and work from childhood on

Thanks for sharing this!

How was your experience growing up?

We suspect our older son (almost 7) has ADHD and is having some struggles at school as it's hard for him to concentrate. He's doing well academically but struggles conforming to classroom's rules. As a parent it's difficult to understand what's going on in his head

Sounds like an excuse for some, a superpower for others. Focus on your strengths, delegate the rest. Smart.

good morning, hope you have a good day

I like your thinking!

ADHD is just a diagnosis they made up for people who don't put up with a mundane life.

i shared this with my 17 year old daughter and really hope she internalizes it. thank you for the authenticity here nostr:nprofile1qqsp4lsvwn3aw7zwh2f6tcl6249xa6cpj2x3yuu6azaysvncdqywxmgu5gy2r

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.

This is me.
