When I was younger I defined myself by the things I liked, and others similarly, you just start to see more depth and wisdom the more years you’re lucky enough to kick around, in this planet, I think. And then you start to see, mostly the stuff people like is just funneled coping mechanisms. I can now tell you what peoples traumas are, by what they like. (lol)
I like extremely violent realistically gory video games, firearms (I own several modern rifles and handguns), and Zen Buddhism (meditation and mindfulness). What are my traumas?
I feel like that’s one of those things that, even if you could do it, you shouldn’t. I wasn’t really being serious, so much.
If you’re sure you want me to attempt to play mind reader, just for funsies, I suppose I could. My trauma is I had to grow up guessing what everyone was gunna do, because none of the adults were even a tiny bit safe, so I got sort of a little bit good at the guessing game, sort of. I’ve never tested it on internet strangers though.
That said, my dating history would completely oppose previous statements… So maybe I just think I’m a little bit good at something, but really I suck.
I wouldn’t say “more broken”. There’s a lot of diversity across the ADHD community, especially when we account for how other life circumstances intersect with ADHD. For me, for example, I find that the vast majority of what I typically consider to be “ADHD-related brokenness” is actually probably more linked to past trauma.
I think it’s important to recognise that there is no universal ADHD experience because in many respects, we’re still figuring out what the hell ADHD actually is (“we” here meaning humanity); Science plays a big part in increasing our understanding of ADHD, but so does community knowledge (which includes memes)
Super hardcore heavy ADHD here. This meme does not relate to me at all in any way. Am I simply more broken than you and lost empathy?

I like skiing and video games. What are my traumas?
There was a lol! I wasn’t being serious! Why do I say things. I should just stop doing that.
Haha, don’t worry I was also joking!
I have the same trauma where I claim I can do stuff but end up with too many responsibilities.

I think they got distracted

Just answer the question lol, damn
