Do you have one for being terminally lazy and the world's wost procrastinator?
That's just ADHD that's undiagnosed.
Excellent at working under pressure
Isn't this 2025? Why the fuck are you calling ADHD, Autism and anxiety mental illnesses?
Any chance you could tell us what they are in a way that is educational and not shaming?
Anxiety is an emotion or experience that anyone can feel, it is not the same as anxiety disorder.
ADHD and Autism are neural divergences which means that these are people that are literally born with a different brain behavior then most. It means that they are how they are.
I'm completely out of the loop as to how they're referred, so I'm just taking a guess at why the meme calls them mental illnesses:
I think it's likely because they're things that require diagnosis and can require treatment
As a dude with OCD, yep it's a mental illness by classification. It's something that impedes and impacts the way people function and live their day to day lives along with social difficulties due to those things.
Disorder would be a lateral word to illness, and over-explaining doesn't categorize it but rather deliberates the meaning.
Just doesn't sound nice to folks. Until you figure out how to manage it, it's seen as a disease as it can be debilitating. However, lots of folks can go fine most of their life with the disorders, since it isn't an illness unless it impacts your life.
Those literally arent want any of those are
I have all of those except schizophrenia so I have to agree.
I'll take a double #1 with a side of #2, and a couple shakes of #5 please.
That's not what OCD is. It's being burdened with intrusive thoughts that make you think you're a horrible person and make you question your sanity.
I watched the SoftWhiteUnderbelly interview of a guy with OCD who works as a clown, and used to serve in the Navy. His form of OCD wasn't self-loathing intrusive thoughts but intrusive thoughts that stemmed from the anxiety or fear of something bad happening. Like, the fear that he was going to be dishonorably discharged or drown if there's a storm, was perceived as a sort of bad mojo that he had to combat with drowning it out with positive thoughts, and by repeatedly carrying out certain mundane actions as ritualis to eliminate the bad mojo that his OCD thoughts manifested. And failure to do so meant that those bad things mentioned by his negative thoughts were actually going to happen. So, he would obsessively repeat certain words or phrases to himself, or repeat in a specific action until the thought went away.
In the interview he repeatedly mentions feeling self-conscious about how he must have looked crazy to other people in the Navy or in public, talking to himself repeatedly or being stuck in one of his rituals battling the intrusive thought that was overwhelming him, but the alternative was letting it actually drive him crazy.
And a part of his psyche believed if he didn't engage in those coping rituals, than the things his intrusive thoughts said we're going to happen, might actually happen. And so those two things were his only coping strategy for dealing with being overwhelmed by all the crippling anxiety and fear, from which his OCD was manifesting.
😒 I am chronically late
😎 I work efficiently and well
Looks like I'm at least not schizophrenic. Hell yeah
Autism isn't an illness
Autists are the superior human form. We're the next stage of human evolution.
One aspect of autism is lacking "mirror nodes" in our frontal cortex that allow neuro-typicals to possess self-awareness while speaking or carrying out a physical action, and thereby being aware of the emotional impact their behavior has on the people around them.
So, by your definition, I am superior to neuro-typicals by virtue of lacking equipment and firmware that neuro-typicals have, which assists them with interfacing with other members of their own species.
The last predator movie I saw was about that.
ohh give Facebook a week or two.
Hmm. The first one is true if it’s voluntary. Otherwise, involuntarily being constantly redirected can be a real problem.
I have ADHD -> I'm excellent at moving from one task to another.
I dunno about those of you who have more substantial ADHD, but I find moving intentionally or external-led from one task to another - i.e. other than my brain's natural flow - is one of the hardest things for me. Switching from, even, washing dishes to mopping up water splashed, can be a great mental strain.
I have anxiety -> I anticipate accidents and hiccups before they happen
Those do go together for me.
You may have seen it by now, but just in case: there's a bunch of us in the comments whose experience of their ADHD is exactly like yours :)
So, uh, hey, that's one aspect in which you AREN'T weird ;D
Thanks :-)
Irritable bowel syndrome:
"I'll give two shits when most others would not."
Instead of:
I am a sociopath
Say:
I am excellent CEO material
Like a Mario looking for his Luigi...
“Assertive go-getter”
I feel like this really needs to be said. OCD != being meticulous to detail. It isn't "omg this spreadsheet is in the wrong order," it is more like "I can't fail to flick the light swith 3.5 times when I enter a room. I know that the switch gets left midway, but that is how I will obsessively leave it. If you change it, I will put it back to everyone's detremint."
I feel called out.
Sadly, I have that John Nash thing where my brain notices connections and correlations (spurious relationships? dunno!) but without all the cool game-theory math skills.
WARNING: Fringe Hypotheses Ahead! 🕶🛸👽🧬
A recent one is the interaction between Trump's state of being an insurrectionist (according to a commission and some legal entities and not denied by SCOTUS) and the insurrectionist clause of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
As things are SCOTUS has suggested (in dicta) it's up to congress to legislate action to block Trump's presidency if they want to, that the insurrectionist clause is not self-executing.
What this opinion doesn't do is change Trump's status as an insurrectionist. Nor does it rule the 14th amendment doesn't apply, only that congress is required to pass legislation to make it happen.
This means members of the public and government workers might decide among themselves President Trump is not legitimate. After all, the January 6th Commission presented an ironclad case he committed treason against the US, and the 14th amendment is in effect.
And this could be useful when the Trump Administration gives orders that are contrary to the duties of the department, or are unethical. Say if the DOD is ordered to put down public protests against current policy, or the Department of Education is told to disband.
And Then if SCOTUS can neuter 14-3 (the insurrectionist clause) by insisting congress has to enforce it, they can also neuter 14-1 (the birthright citizenship clause) the same way, maybe even insisting each person born of foreigners on US soil has to be given citizenship by legislation. Trump is particularly interested in killing 14-1.
In fact, this suggests the US Supreme Court can reinterpret any part of the Constitution of the United States by adding further obligations to assure it is enforced. And this puts SCOTUS above the Constitution.
Will anything come of this? Dunno. Could be nothing. Could lead to civil war.
I mean I'm mad so take my ideas with that consideration. 🐰🎩🫖☕️
