I'd question your mental health.
you do realize he mentions ADHD
I think they meant it.
Then treat it.
I am more than familiar with people like him. I have had relationships with people who made endless excuses, and refused to manage their conditions, and then of course, told me it was my fault. As if I was supposed to magically cure them of all their mental and physical issues... that they actively embraced and enhanced by poor habits and recreational drug use.
When it comes to mental and physical health, yes you do have to pull yourself up. Nobody can do it for you. Nobody can fix my health problems for me. It's my responsibility to manage them. Or I suppose I could just give up, and be a twat about it and incessantly whine to whomever will listen to my self-imposed misery. And go around taking random internet comments as personal attacks on myself... lol
Read my post properly and you might see why treating it is a problem.
You need to stop ignoring the bits that counter your argument because it is making you look ignorant.
And i can't get over that whole point you are trying to make about people (me in this case) making it all about themselves when you are doing exactly that. You are imposing your narrowminded and ignorant view poi t on everyone else. Hilariously, no one agrees. You are on your own on this one.
Please do us all a favour. Read and critically analyse this comment thread. Be self critical, look at it from a view point that is not your own. And understand that my offering a personal anecdote, in contrary to your view is not "an attack" it is not me taking your nonsense as a personal attack on me. It is just me trying to introduce some nuance. Something you may not know.
Isnt the point of these message boards to have discussions with real people from around the world? Are you really on a social media platform pretending you don't care what other people think?
Wild that mate.....
setting aside that not all kinds of adhd are treatable, if you read his post again, you'll see the current external obstacle to his treatment.
don't worry nobody here is taking anything as a personal attack, you just repeat ableist rhetoric that is used to attack anyone with a handicap and i want to make that clear for anybody else reading it
be more of a .ml user. are you a tankie too? you think Chinese communism is going to magically improve your personal problems too?
man what a great argument! sure bud im the reddest tankie there ever was
everything I want to say to you will be removed
exactly. if that's your impulse... you probably need some better mental health habits and emotional regulation.
I have my own health problems. I am not here blasting other people about them and how horrible and unfair my life is because of them... why is that you think?
because you don't care for other people but will whine about other people not caring enough to lose weight
nobody is here "blasting" you they are speaking from their own experience with weight loss and all you had to say was to question their mental health
yeah i lack emotional regulation, like that's a thing for me and people with my condition, at least i know my faults
I don't care for random internet strangers and people in the vague abstract mass of humanity, yeah. It's fucking weird that anyone thinks that is legitimate caring. It isn't. It's just a proxy for grand standing and ego-stroking.
I don't care about their experience. It has no impact on what is a massive public health issue. The world is not about them and their individual experiences. And their inability to see usually means they are a egotistical nutjob who thinks everything is about themselves and their personal feelings... which actually is the type of people who give a shit about nobody but themselves.
Randomly going into vivid detail abut all your personal problems to vent at some stranger you feel has aggrieved you in a public space is insane and hostile behavior. I'm sure if I randomly went up to you and started screaming at you about my personal health issues, you'd find that very offputting and offensive and you'd wonder if I was off my meds.
There is nothing hostile about challenging your narrowmindedness with anecdote. You don't need to care about every living being on this planet to understand that you can't just pull a one size fits all blanket over a problem to make it go away.
There is nuance, individual expereince does matter when discussing public health issues. Your statement about people being too lazy to make the effort is clearly misjudged. The fact that i am one example of evidence of that does not mean i think its all about me. Seriously, you are out of touch.
It is funny that you address everyone here, talking about me, except for me. The person you are talking about.
Why don't you have this conversation with me?
or, perhaps, they wanted to show you a different perspective you do not know without aggression
I've met tons of whiny people my entire life who write essays about their problems. I don't need to hear from more of them. I understand lemmy is full to the brim with them though, who have delusions of grandeur because they PC game with linux or something, and yet they can seem to struggle with basic adult tasks. weird how that works.
