ADHD memes

I've actually heard a fairly common motivation tip is to not tell people when you've started a new project or healthy habit.

Some people believe that sharing the news with people is what ultimately gives you the feelgood chemicals, and then suddenly you have less desire to do the thing.

I don't think this is to say that you shouldn't share your accomplishments. In fact, if you struggle with perfectionism, you might never think that you're totally finished a project. But if you're in the tenuous first stages of a new activity, it might benefit you to wait until things are a little more concrete before sharing the fun stuff.

The trick is to tell no one and still do nothing! You get to keep the friends and the anxiety!

Oh, fuck, is that an ADHD symptom?

Every day I find out more and more of me is just mental illness

And yet you've created this very Lemmy instance we're posting on. Curious.

Just a tinge of RSD

On the good side your family and friends start just not believing you when you say you're going to do this thing

On the bad side sometimes (so far exactly once for me) a friend will implement the idea you sketched that time and haven't done yourself, and they do it wrong

so so SO many plans on the "back burner" its ludicrous

Ha! my buddy asked me how my patent was coming along last night. Cringe.
