ADHD doesn't typically make you unable to figure out if something is true or not.
Not hating, but have you been tested for Aspbergers(spelling)? Cause you act more along the lines of having that.
Hey, I know a guy with aspergers syndrome, and he is very argumentative and exhibits other symptoms similar to ED. That actually makes much more sense than autism.
Asperger's is on the autism spectrum - it's not as severe or profound as what we know as autism, but it is a form of the disorder. And not everyone who has Asperger's is argumentative. Everyone has it in different ways. Some people become quite skilled at hiding the ways that Asperger's affects them by playing roles or 'acting' in a sense around others.
I think it really depends on if the person is aware of the cognitive difficulties.
Even at 30 years old I'm still learning new ways my "ADHD" has me impaired. Clearly I am having a hard time distinguishing between fact/opinion as well as friendly/troll. I used to value being naive, but I am starting to see how being naive is a huge disadvantage and I'd be better off not talking to anyone or reading anything. I got this from my mother. She recently bought a new pill she saw in a magazine because she read that it was supposed to boost her metabolism; she actually got sick from the pill and when I looked at the "scientific study" that she found the pills in it said "this is an advertisement"... A prime example of the world preying on the mentally impaired....

Isn't that called a tackle?
hahahah I'm sorry the last line got me.There's a reason you didn't say it, it's because it's RUDE and uncalled for. My wife and I never fight. She accepts me for my flawedness as she is equally flawed. Thank you for pushing me further into my inferiority complex though, I appreciate your brutal honesty as much as I appreciated the kick in the nuts when I was getting ganged up on in football as a kid.
Yeah, I glossed over that one at first too. I'm pretty sure that happens to everyone that plays football, from what I understand of how the game is played.
Yeah, if we were running a play that's one thing. But I was in the lockerroom after practice... So.... Yeah.... That's "tough love" apparently and it's acceptable (no one got suspended)_.0 -
I've been in a relationship with someone like this and I will tell you it was THE most exhausting relationship I've ever found myself in. I don't know how this guy's wife copes, I really don't. They will pick fights and argue vehemently for their ridiculous positions, then claim you are attacking and/or insulting them and when all else fails they crumble into a hot azz mess of self pity because they are such good people, just misunderstood and perhaps cognitively lacking and everyone just wants to kick them down. And they firmly believe this *kitten* so it never, ever ends. I couldn't deal and had to leave, Mrs. ED is far more tolerant than I am.
I was going to say the same thing too but decided against it, glad someone else did.... he totally reminds me of my ex fiance...He's byebye now - I was too tolerant for too long...its a terrible kind of relationship/miserable.

That's weird because didn't you start a topic last week about how you and your wife fight about the whole foods you want to buy for the family, but she is in charge of finances, so you stole her credit card so you could buy what you wanted to buy? Plus you bashed her all over the place there and here?
Plus, every couple fights occasionally simply because both people are, as you yourself state "flawed". I would call a couple unhealthy if they didn't really ever fight, it means someone is getting taken advantage of or stamping their feelings down.
Other than money my wife and I are fine and appreciate each other. Why are you bringing up old news? Are you trying to pick a new fight with me?0 -
I would quit putting limits on myself based on a medical diagnosis if I were you.

You want cheap whole foods in your area, start off at Randazzo's. Totally cheap, awesome food. Cheaper than any supermarket.0

Your life is still what you make of it.
I was read the same lies as a kid too, but I know the truth. We are all given a hand of cards. While some cards you can put back in the deck, shuffle and get new ones; there are some (like genetics) that remain in your hand and you just have to deal with the cards you're dealt.
I do not try to play victim, but if you aren't going to try to learn how someone's life COULD be different than yours, why even bother socializing with other people?
I'm new here, but I wanted to give my 2cents. I truly believe your intentions are good, the links you provide hold some merit, but your defensive nature is off putting. Trust me when I say I understand being dealt a crap hand, but I don't let let define me, or make me a bitter person.
Also, I'm not one for a pile on, so I don't agree with kicking a person while down. You've apologized, you've tried to make people understand your point of view- please try to be as receptive to the people who are genuinely coming from a good place.
For the rest- just don't respond. You teach people how to treat you.0 -

I'm not criticizing you here. 2 people can live through the exact same traumatic event. How they CHOOSE to deal with it, determines their outcome. It isn't a lie. If you don't want to be happy, you can't ever be. If you want to be happy DESPITE your genetics or other issues, you have a much better chance of being happy.
I never said I wasn't happy. I am just implying that other people treat me unfairly, even after they know what I am going through. It makes me feel like less of a person when they know what I'm struggling with and still expect things that I haven't been able to accomplish without help. It's like telling me to jump and them expecting me to say "how high" instead of jumping as high as I can and it being "enough". No one is ever happy with me and that's disappointing being a person who struggles for acceptance.
they really need a smily playing the violin..."violin playing for you"
You do realize you are depending on a bunch of people in an online forum - people you have never met - to make you feel better about yourself, and only have nice things to say...so basically you want everyone to walk on egg shells and make you feel pretty ?
Maybe you should have approached this site differently instead of coming in airing your dirty laundry. We all have to deal with no so wonderful things too, get off the pity party.
No one can make you feel anyway, you choose how you feel, only YOU are in control of your feelings. If your not then you dont control your mind it controls you.0 -

I didn't associate with ADHD from 11 years old until I lost my job 2 years ago. As a matter of fact, I treated myself like everyone else and just tried to be the best person I can be. But truthfully, you can't ignore a REAL mental health condition. You MUST live within your means and your limitations. And I was convinced I was good at things that I was clearly not capable of doing. Believe it or not, the last 2 years of my life acting as an ADHD person has been the best years of my life. It's not a label when you truly have some mental impairments going on. It's what they call an "invisible disability". Though admittedly, if imagination was valued as much as knowledge, I would not be disabled at all. It's really a culturally created disability. Too much preference in the sciences and not enough on the concepts.0 -
hahahah still funny. Sorry.Yeah, if we were running a play that's one thing. But I was in the lockerroom after practice... So.... Yeah.... That's "tough love" apparently and it's acceptable (no one got suspended)_.
I think most 'hazing' is just part of growing up. Sink or swim. It doesn't change later in life, it just gets more personal and less physical.0 -

Agreed. I take it you've been to Westland. But food isn't a problem. It's getting food to taste acceptable for my wife's palate. Like this article suggests, she is addicted to the flavors of the processed foods. So despite me being a clean/raw eater, she requires me to put processed stuff in there because that's the "tasty stuff" and she can "only tolerate so much bland stuff".0 -

Hazing is abuse. I've had 29 years of it. It wears on you and makes you feel worthless. It has eroded how I look at myself. Now I just expect everyone to abuse me (see all comments above from me).0 -

There are places/times where imagination is valued and important. There are places/times where science and logic is needed instead. Sometimes there is room for both. But, anyone who always eschews one for the other, will probably be missing something, somewhere along the line.0 -
Clearly you prefer the former of sink/swim.

I would love to learn this. When I've stood up for myself it becomes a "I'm bigger than you" fight and no one backs down (or rather it goes on until I back down). No one respects people any more. I am trying to respect myself, but no one is catching on without the "report post" button.0 -

Sorry, but you are the one that stated that you and your wife never fight. That's a pretty bold claim for someone who has been blatant about being disrespectful toward her both in this forum and the one I mention above, and for your lack of respect toward others parents in another forum topic you started yesterday and the tone you used to attack certain members of this community.0 -
Because that's not the way life is. I find validation and success through tests, faliure, and 'getting left behind.'How about not testing each other and stop setting people up for potential failure? Why not "no person left behind"?
So does the rest of the world. If you want "no person left behind" join the Marines. And they will likely kick you in the nuts too.0 -

I watched a video of a baby elephant that got left behind because it couldn't walk and was eaten alive slowly by lions. You could see its eye looking around while it was being chewed on.

In a community of artists/musicians. At places like Disney(and I don't mean this in a negative light). Whimsy(emotionality and happiness) is important when whimsy is the goal.
Even science requires a bit of imagination. But, it requires the skill of understanding exactly how imagination and logic work together harmoniously and fluidly.0 -

I also said that I have a learning disability and I don't say things EXACTLY as they are. If you want to hold someone accountable for speaking accurately then you are wasting your time; the only people who you should be teaching lessons is your students if you are a teacher and your children. Everyone else is entitled to their own stupidity or is responsible for themselves. But if you are going to claim this is laziness, then you are mistaken. I've tried to "think before I talk" but I still don't say things correctly. So if you try and fail, and don't try and fail; why try?0 -

The herd has denied me. I tried to follow them but apparently you have to be just like them to be accepted. When the herd denies you, you realize that you need to do it on your own. But doing it on your own is great because you don't have anyone judging you. But when you find the herd by crossing paths, no matter how well you are surviving, they are going to criticize you for not being a part of the herd.
There is no ONE path to success. And success is measured different ways. But if you would rather leave someone behind and reject them than offer an open invitation, then you aren't showing that you are "better than them", you are showing how uncaring you are.
I do not believe in "survival of the fittest". Everyone is created equally, everyone should be given a fair chance. We are created to help each other; not force dominance over others.0 -
You were given a fair chance. 3+ threads ago. You have clearly blown that chance.

No, you should expect it because you deserve it.
If most of your previous threads hadn't been removed, there would be the proof that 9 times out of 10, you are instigating, or asking for advice and then acting like a mental case when people have other opinions or give you the healthy way to address a problem.
One word: Therapy.
Reported.
No one deserves abuse. No one is a mental case. Everyone has problems and not everyone can fix them themselves.
A person who had a traumatic past of relentlessly being bullied should not be banished to from society just because he is tired of being abused. If it wasn't for me being naive that there are nice people out there, there has been enough reasons to give me to take my own life. But there are reasons to carry on. Not everyone are jerks. I just need to find where the nice people are hiding. Probably in a corner away from the jerks like me.0 -

So the advice you have is "blend in or you don't belong". What about "give acceptance and you are accepted" doesn't that apply? There isn't a single dominate gender or personality, so why would people be so unaccepting of a personality so different than their own? Clearly we aren't being raised with acceptance to diversity. I feel like a black child trying to go to an all white school before MLK!0 -

No it sucks. Because I am really reaching out trying to gain acceptance and it is going horribly wrong every time!0
