If youâd like to try and find a faster way to alienate a neurodivergent person, this is basically it.
My parents still have no clue how to regulate there comments when I mention my difficulties. They love pointing out how âpretty much everyone struggles with getting their real life taken care of.â
Yeah, and Iâm sure everyone else also sits there for hours at a time, lamenting themselves for not being able to get up and getting it done. Itâs less about the inability to get started, and more about the excruciating guilt you feel when simple tasks take hours of internal bargaining to finally get done.
The point I was trying to make was that, more often than not, it doesnât matter how transparent and honest you are, a lot of people will never buy into the âI forgot againâ excuse because youâre supposed to âlearn from your mistakes.â
Iâm exactly the same way as you, except it can get a lot more difficult when I add in my constant need to please everyone. Itâs almost not worth the effort to be honest when the people youâre talking are not reciprocative of your struggles, even though they claim to acknowledge your illness.
Iâm not sure there was any need to be so defensive about it, but it was on me for not properly explaining my thought process. Just trying to have a critical conversation about the problems that plague us.
