One of the things I really hate about my #ADHD is the object impermanence.
When I see my dog I *know* that I need to make an appointment for her at the groomer. But when I *don't* see her, I'm not thinking about it. And I only see her before the groomer is open and after the groomer is closed, so I still haven't made the appointment.

A 🧵 on ADHD & Friendships
Buckle up, friends. I'm about to let you all in on the inside track of friendship with and for people with ADHD. It'll be based on my own experiences, so it's not all-encompassing, but I imagine there are a LOT of similarities. So here we go:
1/
Being friends with someone who has ADHD can be tough, for a whole bunch of reasons. A lot of people with ADHD struggle with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). Basically, it's anxiety about people ignoring, distancing, or not accepting us for something we've done.

Men, if your joke is demeaning or belittling or minimizes gifts but maximizes critiques all you've done is show a lack of empathy for our sisters. You've proven you're only joking to reinforce male superiority/soothe insecurity. They're not funny and they're not true.
And the fact that you feel entitled to make those jokes is disgusting. That you would rather lean into awful assumptions and untrue stereotypes to make a rude joke than question yourself and the joke shows how arrogant you are.
