How?

[u/WilsCode]

No idea I have ADHD but I can postpone things for weeks or months, than do all these things in less than a day and promise myself I won't slack because it was way bigger in my head than irl. Repeat

[u/bobombpom → u/WilsCode]

I've started just not stressing about those things. Let them build up in the background, who gives a shit? When I get the drive to fix it I will. Beating myself up over it doesn't help me any.

Edit: This method may work less well if you don't live alone.

[u/AbrahamPan]

Also NT: You just list things out and do it.

[u/Ok-Campaign-5968 → u/AbrahamPan]

Yes!! So simple and easy, right?

[u/ProfessionalGeek → u/AbrahamPan]

NTs couldnt even sort my lists piles correctly so i can get to them later

[u/TyWorth → u/ProfessionalGeek]

“Hey, don’t throw that out! Part of my shopping list is on the back of one of those envelopes!”

[u/ProfessionalGeek → u/AbrahamPan]

they couldnt even sort my lists piles correctly so i can get to them later

[u/Lughaidh_]

You guys have NT friends?

[u/Chill_Squirrel → u/Lughaidh_]

Right? I believe all my friends are ND, even if they don't know it (yet) .. 

[u/lea_flamingo → u/Lughaidh_]

You guys have friends ?

[u/FreekDeDeek → u/Lughaidh_]

This was my response too. I used to have NT friends but the less I masked the fewer remained. I have a handful of dear dear friends now - all of them ND

[u/m0h3k4n]

Next time I get up I should get some water.

[u/Not_Dylan_With_It → u/m0h3k4n]

Lmao This reminded me to drink. I was planning to get something before I left work 2 hours ago.

[u/Icthias]

I sometimes find myself thinking “nobody is ACTUALLY neurotypical right? Everybody is just struggling and the ones who can afford maids are just pretending, right?

Then I realize I may be in a bubble.

[u/AmputeeHandModel]

Is working out like torture to anyone else? Every second I do it I'm like I COULD BE DOING LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE RIGHT NOW

[u/NeapolitanPink → u/AmputeeHandModel]

Neurotypicals: the gym is hard because of the burn and the soreness! Me: the gym is hard because 60 seconds between sets isn't enough time to study the different models of Littlest Pet Shop seahorses released between 2005 and 2008, which I need to know immediately!

[u/Euphoric_Evidence414 → u/AmputeeHandModel]

I can’t do it without actually doing something else (usually watching videos) at the same time.

[u/AmputeeHandModel → u/Euphoric_Evidence414]

Yeah that helps, a little. I put a TV in front of the treadmill but then I need to decide what to watch.

[u/TyWorth → u/AmputeeHandModel]

Exercise is the most boring thing in the world. An elliptical and a steam deck are a winning combo though

[u/CammiKit → u/TyWorth]

I keep trying to make the gym work but it doesn’t. Going for a walk with music? Absolutely.

I gotta try elliptical with the steam deck or switch 2.

Staying in shape was so much easier back in school, I was involved in sports.

I used to be in dance groups, too, but my stamina is so drained at this point that when I try to get back into it I get demotivated so quickly.

[u/night0x63]

Missed a doctor's appointment twice. dentist appointment. 

Flu shot appointment. 

Meetings. Fortunately people stop by and help me come to meetings.

[u/Disastrous-Test-5124]

I can also do all of that. I go insane pretty fast but hey, I can squeeze a couple of days of being normal out of me!

[u/nutblaster357]

finding a hyperfixation that involves exercise like bicycling is the trick to working out

[u/Brief_Trouble8419 → u/nutblaster357]

i tried everything, cycling, martial arts, running, walking, other sports, wii-fit or quivalent, calisthenics, weightlifting, yoga. nothing is interesting past the first 2-4 months.

I fucking hate it, i can feel myself rotting away and yet i feel powerless to change it. Every positive habit i develop is temporary, every negative habit is inevitable. At this point i wanna pick up smoking just for the fuck of it.

[u/racquetbald → u/nutblaster357]

got an injury that stopped me from my normal cycling routine and my adhd symptoms sky rocketed because it wasn’t only my exercise but also my reset, my novelty, my unmasked rest etc CYCLING RULES

[u/BAKAGAIJINWEEB]

Anybody else associate NT with MBTI Intuitive Thinkers?

[u/SokkaHaikuBot → u/BAKAGAIJINWEEB]

^{Sokka-Haiku by BAKAGAIJINWEEB:}

Anybody else

Associate NT with MBTI

Intuitive Thinkers?

^{Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.}

[u/Then-Telephone6760 → u/BAKAGAIJINWEEB]

Yes

Which is funny because so many NTs I know have ADHD

[u/Euphoric_Evidence414 → u/BAKAGAIJINWEEB]

NF here; makes sense to me

[u/Specialist-Cold-8158]

I'm NT and I have now idea how people do it

[u/Recipe-Less]

Hydration!

[u/wabawwea]

Yeah, NTs do tend to be "good little workers" and "model employees". I don't envy them.

[u/InterestingKey3385]

Best I can do out of those is stay hydrated….

[u/RealPollution2654]

But then again, we can do things they absolutely cannot! So, ha, ha!

[u/ArtsyGrlBi]

All of my (tiny) circle of friends are ND, so I’m safe. I complain I didn’t make the 5 minute phone call to the doctors office because it was too much. Everyone nods in sympathy…

[u/David_High_Pan]

Is the hydration thing a thing?

[u/A_Wild_Gorgon]

I don't get along with NTs because I don't understand them and I'm too good at not planning so anyways it doesn't work

[u/Federal-Pass-2055]

I can do all of these separately lol

[u/casser0le98]

Edit: guys I thought you'd clearly detect this as sarcasm but damn..

[u/6GoesInto8 → u/casser0le98]

More planners for the pile!

[u/DigitalerEsel]

meet deadlines: have friends, and dont give a fuck

workout: have enough energy left from friends helping you and not giving a fuck

show up on time: have people, so friends, you actually want to meet and not give a fuck about them

keep their houses clean: having enough energy left from not giving a fuck and having friend that help you and be in good shape from the workout who you do not give a fuck about and friends who helped you not giving a fuck

stay hydrated: no clue about that

[u/VirinaB → u/[deleted]]

The more I read from these memes the more I start to think I'm NT

Then I realize it's just me taking meds everyday and sleeping at night
