12 Sayings ADHDers HATE! Please Stop Telling Us These.

Oh, the joys of living with ADHD – where your brain operates like a squirrel on an espresso binge, and your attention span is about as stable as a house of cards in a windstorm.

But don't worry, folks are here to offer their sage advice and timeless wisdom, which often makes us want to roll our eyes so hard they orbit the moon.

Here are 10 sayings that ADHDers absolutely can't stand, and a touch of the sarcasm we've mastered in response:

1. “If only you applied yourself. You have so much potential.”

Oh, the classic "potential" talk. Because apparently, the only thing standing between us and Nobel Prize-level achievements is our reluctance to "apply ourselves." Thanks for that groundbreaking revelation.

2. “You’re so lazy!”

Ah, yes, the "L" word. Because clearly, if we were just a bit more motivated, we'd be building empires by now. But hey, crawling out of bed and remembering to put on pants is basically an Olympic feat, so cut us some slack.

3. “Do I really have to repeat myself?”

No, you don't have to. But if you enjoy watching us struggle to process information slower than a snail on vacation, then by all means, go ahead. It's not like we're secretly plotting revenge… or forgot what you said already.

4. “We can FIX you.”

Thank you, Dr. Miracle Worker, for offering to "fix" our ADHD. Because obviously, you've stumbled upon the magical remedy that has eluded scientists, doctors, and experts for decades. We'll just keep our sarcasm on hold while you work your magic.

5. “I know you don’t care, because you’re never on time.”

Ah, punctuality – the bane of our existence. You see, time operates differently in our world. We're just fashionably late to the time-conscious party, but don't worry, we'll catch up… eventually.

6. “The procrastination needs to stop.”

Ah, yes, the art of procrastination. Because who needs productivity when you can master the fine skill of leaving everything to the last minute? It's not like adrenaline is the only thing keeping our lives together.

7. “ADHD isn’t a real disorder.”

Thank you, Professor of Uninformed Opinions, for enlightening us. We'll be sure to let the medical community know they've been wasting their time studying something that's just a figment of our imaginations.

8. “How could you forget about something so important?”

Ah, memory – that thing normal folks use to remember where they left their keys. For us, it's like herding cats through a maze of distractions. We didn't forget; we're just conducting a grand social experiment on how long it takes to find those keys.

9. “Another business idea? But you never finish any ideas.”

Call us the Idea Factory. Sure, execution might not be our forte, but who needs completion when you can start a dozen things and feel like a genius for each one? Our unfinished ideas are like timeless masterpieces, you see.

10. “You talk so much, but don’t you ever listen?”

Ah, the age-old paradox. Talking – our therapy, our survival mechanism, our way of saying, "Hey, my thoughts are still here!" And listen? Well, we're just reserving that energy for our next monologue.

11. “Jack of all trades, master of none.”

Thank you for that lovely saying, but we prefer "renaissance humans." It's not like our eclectic interests give us a unique perspective or anything. Who needs mastery when you can dabble in everything from interpretive dance to quantum physics?

12. “All work, all play. You’re not hyper.”

Hyperactivity? Oh, that's just one part of the ADHD rainbow. We've got surprises for you, like our ability to hyperfocus on cat videos for hours. Don't be fooled; our minds are as active as a caffeinated squirrel's on a pogo stick.

So there you have it – a glimpse into the world of ADHDers and the well-meaning words that make us sharpen our sarcasm skills. If nothing else, remember this: living with ADHD might be a roller coaster, but at least we never run out of creative comebacks.
