I think you'll find that awful or lazy was never true, and the potential was always there buried deep. You just didn't have the right tools.

so many people with executive dysfunction have come to this realization thru memes ❤️

I would add: beyond executive dysfunction, people who also have low intrinsic motivation (ability to "just do it") and/or difficulty initiating, are also not bad people!

while it is our responsibility to always work on and improve our weak points, these aspects of temperament exist as they are, no matter how much moralizing busybodies insist otherwise.

Recognizing where some of our habits come from makes it easier to tackle them sometimes.
