Trauma works too. I’ve got the ADHD but I really think it’s the trauma knowledge that makes it. ADHD makes the delivery, truama makes the material. The number of times someone has laughted when I said something that was basically just truth in a flat tone…if they only knew.
I said it one and I say it again. I hate being called “funny”. I want to be called anything but “funny”. Being “funny” to me, is a coping mechanism. I want to be called “dependable”, “compentent”, “smart”, “compassionate”, “a good listerer”, '“charismatic”, “easy going”, “creative”, “strong”, “emapthatic”, “loyal”, “a good friend”, “kind”, “iron-willed” or “good company”.
I know that I’m “funny”, “funny” is all had, have and will ever have in my life and you don’t need to remind me of that.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
- develop social anxiety over meeting new people whose sense of humor you don’t know… ah shit no, too late
I endeavor to add enough value to make up for what a pain in the ass I am.

Be incapable of stopping.

That also annoys them.
4, but this time I’m looking at it. That also annoys them?

I feel so seen.
On one hand, I feel attacked. On the other, I really admire how this image is a screenshot of a selected image containing nothing but text.
Gotta learn to appreciate the little things, ya know?
Man, seeing myself in all these memes almost makes me think I could have ADHD. That would be too funny, right? …right?
Take out #1 in the meme and it describes essentially the entire population. #2 is not indicative of having ADHD. In fact, ADHD symptoms are related to less appreciation of humor.
In general, memes supposedly related to a disorder just describe things common to nearly everyone
This, but unironically.
Class clowns represent
Humor is my survival and conflict avoidance mechanism.
Steps for being the class clown:
-
Disassociate the moment the teacher starts talking
-
Randomly snap back to the present, absorb the last 6 words the teacher said
-
Loudly state the first thing that comes to mind
-
Disassociate again once kicked out of the classroom
-
As a youngling I think I talked a lot, and one of my friends told me I could be annoying. I think the social shock of going from the smallest elementary school in the district to middle school turned me into the quiet kid with some weird mannerisms
It very me. On the bright side, I’m still funny but also very aware how annoying I can be
