Reply #2: ADD sucks [View All]

I have it too. I take adderall for it.
It's not so much a pinball thing for me, But it's being antsy,it's not being able to focus on stuff easy,sometimes.. but hyper-focused others so when someone interrupts it startles the hell out of me.It's forgetting stuff and losing stuff.I can't take alot of instructions or to do lists all at once.I take it chunk by chunk because I can't absorb it all without being distracted and just irritated by all the talk.When I work with people I get irritated when people yammer about the pointless details about what they are thinking of doing..the over anal planning crap my mom talks about aimlessly BEFORE she gets around to doing anything,it drives me nuts. I'd rather just do it.

ADD is not so much a disorder..,I think ADD is a problem that some people have dealing with the fact our culture (because it is made of messed up people)is disordered (and in our culture we are taught that any problem an individual has is always the an individuals fault they don't conform to the sicko culture "standards" before it is EVER considered a cultural problem there is a "norm" at all).

I also think some people who seem "normal" really do get off on doing this boring,over detailed, over planning , meticulous lots of yammering about nothing,and no one sees anything wrong with that crap.And because some people can shamelessly waste everyone else's attention on that bullshit,and others can pay attention to it without distraction among other pointless crap,society assumes we all must pay attention to.. and if you find your mind wanders when shit ids over complicated well it could be a sign of YOUR sanity.There is way too much bullshit that goes on I think.Not my problem people can't tell bullshit from important info and are procrastinating through alot of chatter about what they want to do...And our culture loves this pointless boring bullshit, doing lists and going over and over these detailed explanations of what to do before you do,except for ADD folks.And if this post did not trigger your ADD..I would be surprised.
