I have ADHD and I really hate this post. I’m tempted to claim it’s ableist, but that feels dramatic. This plays into that idea that hyper focus is some sort of super power that I can control. That “things I need to do toive” somehow aren’t things I want to be good at. My reality is changing fixation/hobbies every couple of months or so. I don’t want half finished projects everywhere.
I want to have things organized. I want to not have random piles of stuff everywhere. I want to not fall into a spiral every time I misplace something.
Yeah, would feel much more accurate to say good at things the hormone roulette in your brain decides you want to do (which does lead to you actually wanting to do them at least), terrible at everything else including things you want to do as a result of actually thinking.
