adhd is fkn annoying sometimes and i am not here for it.

it also makes me a more interesting and more varied person:
i& #39;ve been endlessly chastised for forgetting stuff relating to school/university/anything i need to know.

but everybody wants me on their quiz team because of all the random stuff i know from various hyperfixations.
i& #39;ve been ridiculed for being too sensitive and told to & #39;take a joke& #39; because i feel things more than neurotypicals.

but i& #39;m also really excited about things that vaguely interest me. i feel Bad Things extra hard but i feel Good Things extra hard which makes me fun to be around.
i& #39;ve been told off for doing the wrong thing, or missing the point of an exercise when i haven& #39;t quite understood what i& #39;ve been asked to do.

but i& #39;ve also been commended for spotting things no one else has and thinking outside the box.
i get called disruptive and rude because i often don& #39;t listen when people are talking to me.

but i& #39;m also empathetic and will sit with my friends for hours when they need someone to vent to and will try to find a solution they might not have thought of.
i guess my point is that yes, there are bad sides to ADHD. there& #39;s TONS of bad stuff. but there& #39;s great stuff too, don& #39;t count yourself out. you& #39;re still valuable and you contribute so much to the world around you.
don& #39;t ever try to be & #39;normal& #39;, in my experience it just causes heartache and upset on all sides. i& #39;m trying to learn to love my ADHD brain, despite it& #39;s many challenges, and i want to get better at identifying the good stuff, however unconventional those parts of me may be.
