either i’m ignorant of an entire section of articles or we seriously need more well done adhd studies that aren’t from like a sample size of 200 white boys that are like “Study Shows ADHD Students Have Issues Focusing in School” like no fucking shit dumbass can we have some actual research on things that Aren’t related to our grades and maybe things like, oh i don’t know, our emotional dysregulation or our higher risk of drug abuse or our developmental delay but no we get like fuckin. Doctor John Doe and his book on why adhd is a sham
also instead of having these baby boomer parents complaining about how meds are a Pliy Actually bc they’re abused by people without adhd who make a bad name for us, how about we look into WHY non adhd people (esp students in college) feel the need to use these meds and resources (hint: the school system is fucked and also see next point), why doctors are so lax in diagnosis, maybe some studies into the long term effects of adhd meds on the body esp the heart??? like can i get a good study??? can i PLEASE get a good study
Relationships get so bananas when you start deciphering the other person’s love language.
Like I thought I was just acquaintances with this person because they never told me details about themselves and we just talked movies and writing . But then they made time to have coffee with me and they showed up out of breath because they ran. Like. RAN to be on time for coffee with me?
And I was like “i don’t mind waiting” cause I never want to run
But they said they wanted every minute they could get because I’m so busy usually
Which is when it clicked that I didn’t get how much they considered me a friend because I just straight away didn’t see MY signs of affection in them and went “cool! Casual buds it is.” But now that I’m seeing their signs of affection, I feel a little silly for dismissing them like that even though I felt like we could be best bros.
Anyway, some people show affection through time or intensity or commitment and not vocally. I really have to remember that!
Fyi- just in case you didn’t know.
TOUCH got a bro that likes to give high fives? Back slaps? Are they a hugger? Do they not blink an eye at cuddles?
QUALITY TIME this bro will (as op stated) sprint to spend every minute possible with you. Every second that you guys are together is a declaration of affection.
WORDS does your bro tell you how amazing and great and fantastic and wonderful you are all the time? Guess what…?
GIFTS do they buy you coffee? Snacks, energy drinks, spot you at the restaurant? Did that one key chain removed you of them? Ding ding!
ACTS are they always doing things for you? Ie: Nah bro, I got this, I can do that, need me to get anything for you, I can help with…?
PRO TIP – The way people show love is often how they receive love as well.
