I don't have ADHD. That's not an excuse for why I procrastinate. I just procrastinate.

There's a growing trend of people blaming their excuses on mental health issues, ADHD in particular. This is called "ableism."<br>"Bro, I'm ADHD, I can't do math. So no...." <br>"I'm ADHD, I have social anxiety. This is why I'm so friendly and outgoing and why I go to every party and why I'm in a happy relationship." <br><br>People are going to the extreme of making up mental health issues to justify their shitty behavior or lack of hard work. Self awareness is important, and if the only thing that's wrong with you (me) is that I'm (you're) lazy and don't like to do the things that I dislike, then we should own up to it. It's the hard stuff that separates the successful from the unsuccessful.
