I hate the way the world views and treats me because of it.
This is the absolute worst part. Society is very much designed for the norm (in the statistical sense), and tends to require those that do not fit the picture to put in the effort to conform. The general view is that people with ADHD don’t function, which is a fallacy. The truth is people with ADHD function differently from the rest, and can definitely do great things if not held to the same standards as the rest of society.
Worst thing you can do to yourself is to hold yourself to the standards society tries their hardest to dictate. You are valid. Period.
If you get the chance, surround yourself with people who understand what you’re going through and who can help you compensate for the things you’re not good at.
