What you said boils down to "just do it". You recognise why that's a bad thing to say, yeah?
no it doesnt and no i dont, youll have to be clearer than that. why is it bad to say? i think its worse going around with shit breath than to tell someone to remember to brush their teeth in the morning
"Just do it" is what neurotypicals say when they want to give advice. "Just exercise more", "just do yoga", "just make a list", "just take out the trash everyday", "just put it away after you use it", "just fix your sleep", "just make an effort", "just be normal". It's not advice, it's unhelpful and talking down to a child.
Honestly weird that you say you haven't encountered it.
i never said just do it so why does this apply to me?
and i also never said i never encountered it
honestly its weird you make so many assumptions on me all because i brush my teeth in the morning
"Please brush your teeth in the morning" is "just do it". Honestly, even adding "the people around you can smell your bad breath" would've been an improvement of sorts.
You said you didn't know why "just do it" is a bad thing to say which implies nobody's ever said it to you.
i figured it was obvious that people around you can smell it, why else would i tell someone to brush their teeth in the morning?
It is also obvious to adults that you should brush your teeth everyday, so why tell them?
because they keep forgetting. so obviously a reminder helps
Yes, that's the reason, clearly. Maybe they also forget that people can smell their bad breath?
Also, to reiterate, this is ADHD. You're going to have to go better than one (1) reminder.
i can send messages daily if that would help you
Good lord. Not the fucking point. Have a nice day.
i will have a nice day thank you
also word of advice, dont mansplain what adhd is to someone who has it 😁
