If I have multiple files or folders named like that it’s usually because I’m working on something and frustrated. They eventually devolve into profanity lol
When i already have a test folder in my home directory and try to make a test file i get really annoyed.
🤣 YOU DON’T KNOW MEEE! Lol
This hits hard. :(
“The Chair” put me six feet under.
NARM!
Too soon
This. Is. My. Life.
Most of these hit close to home, except that I’m obsessively punctual, check my messages even when there are no new notifications and my file system is a work of art that I can spend hours organizing. But that goddamn chair though…
I thought everyone had a couple folders called"stuff". Damn
I can’t delete those, they might have something important … They definitely don’t
Don’t let other people tell you how to optimize queries for your database. https://lemmy.spacestation14.com/comment/912391
I am also obsessively punctual, and I use a planner well. Other than that… yeah.
Fuck being punctual. Have to be there at least ten minutes early. But respond to a call or text in a reasonable period of time? Nah.
I’m obsessively punctual, but my file system is like the chair… and I’m a software engineer …
F
I’m you minus the chair… mostly because I don’t own a chair like that
All true, except those unread email/notifications are rookie numbers.
🙈Pfff…
You got to do what I do. Just delete everything and regret it later.
That’s a whole ‘nother level right there.
The Bat!
That was me until I spent a week cleaning it out and organizing it.
Well… my main email at least.
Do I have reverse ADHD in this regard? I check my messages obsessively.
Addicted to novelty. My adhd is unread email of zero but hundreds of “read” emails that I need to respond to.
😰
That’s… That’s adhd? Like, I’m all of that. I don’t think I have adhd.
It’s definitely a result of poor executive functioning, which is a major symptom of ADHD. But that does not mean you have it. Just that these experiences are very common for people with ADHD brains.
It could be adhd, could be nothing, could be autism (poor executive function can be part of that). But it’s clear that you have the opportunity to get tested and improve your QoL. Your decision.
*When they actually suffer from that.
Tricky thing about being neurodivergent is most people have no idea that they‘ve been suffering so getting insight into their own situation (even if they‘re not over the threshold) is going to do much good for their situation. Knowing is always better than not knowing (imo).
Even when you are neurodivergent you can assess whether your life “works” or not. Social media and the idea to go get a diagnose just to know made it almost impossible (where I live) to get an appointment.
Doctors aren’t even putting you on a waiting list anymore. The victims of this are the people who really don’t have their life in order and aren’t managing to get an appointment.
And this really is following social media trends. Currently it is an ADHD hype, slowly merging into an autism hype.
Definitely easy to believe that what you’re experiencing and going through is just normal and what everyone else is going through too. Only way to know to get help is to somehow figure out that isn’t the case.
Exactly. Most people I know find out about their possible diagnosis through a first contact with the topic and then usually talk to a medical professional. After that they search for someone who can actually diagnose them if that first professional encounter indicates a necessity.
As others said, these are mostly all signs of some kind of executive dysfunction. Mine is from depression, not ADHD, but there’s a lot of overlap. I obsessively keep my inbox empty which is a whole 'nother vibe
I also obsessively keep notifications to 0, probably bc of my GAD or OCD
don’t diagnose based on memes. see a professional
There are more symptoms to ADHD and even then all of these appear in people without neurodevelopmental or psychological disorders as well. Especially when you live a stressful life.
No flat surface is safe.
The keys and the mail pilling up I relate to hard, the rest not so much

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
I’m in this picture and I have mostly come to terms with it.
Mooooooood
A giant leaf is missing from this comment
I upgraded “the chair™” to “the basket™” which makes it seem like i have “my shit together™”
I got a standalone wardrobe thing to organize my clothes and now my cats just kinda live there
I did the same. It can mask the mixes in non-cloth objects much better than the chair and still looks like there’s some kind of system there.
All these are accurate for me except I’ve graduated the chair to an over-sized under-bed drawer, all my bills are automated, and I have a car that has a proximity key so it always stays in my pocket (and I wear the same pants for a couple weeks on end).
But yeah, those are just learned coping mechanisms.
My chair is just 2 corners in my bedroom
Automated bills is a weird one for me. I absolutely know they’d be useful to keep me from forgetting important things, but I manage to talk myself out of it as I’d “lose awareness” of where my money goes.
… I need to stop making excuses, huh?
I went from routinely missing to never. You absolutely should set that up.
I can relate on the losing awareness aspect. So, I also put them all on my calendar in red (recurring, of course) then switch to green with the title appended w/ “DONE” when I’ve paid it, or verified auto pay is scheduled.
Ooh, I like that! I can still maintain awareness but there’s no real penalties if I forget to for a day or few. Thanks, I think I’ll be setting that up today!
Your bank should allow you to setup autopay alerts, I get them pretty regularly for mine (email stating ‘your auto pay to COMPANY is pending for $xxxx on yy/zz’) but I also don’t read them. And I have a budget setup so I know where that money is going to go this week anyway. And I check my accounts weekly to pay off my credit card so I see it there as well. Mainly because I have a reminder to do so.
You guys don’t get a compulsion to get rid of any notification or mark emails as read the moment they come through?
Also you guys get messages on social media?
No. Mostly I turn off the notification stuff if I can, especially the little dot with the unread number. A lot of that stuff isn’t worth reading.
I can relate to that last part… except on lemmy, I get plenty of messages here :)
Shit, I may have ADHD 🤣🤣🤣.
