Dude I have ADHD. Most people when they claim to have ADHD, they don't really have it, but for me it is true, I spent years without medication to see if I could live like a normal person and not only was I unable to study or understand what teachers were telling me in class but I also felt like a moron for having trouble reading or doing simple mathematic calculations.You act extremely autistic bro negl. Being extroverted and introverted has nothing to do with being autistic either.
On top of all that, I am as slow as a retarded person but with an above average IQ. This means that I have the capacity to accomplish great things but I am much slower than most people. I am slow physically, mentally and psychologically, everything that I do is done slower than the average person and not even medication can fix that. So, I am given 1/3 of extra time for exams otherwise most exams would be impossible for me.
ADHD is far worse than having to wear glasses or being shorter, and it is the reason why at the age of 22, I have still not even finished pre university. I finished high school in 2015 and I have done nothing from 2015 to 2019, then I worked for 9 months straight and went back to school and now it worked for a time until covid19 started and my grades started to get worse, then my mom had to do most of the work for me or else I would have failed all my classes. The worst thing is that if there had been no pandemic, this would not have happened.
People with ADHD lack structure, if we don't have a job or specific tasks and we are left to our own devices we are unable to be productive. At least before the pandemic I could study in the library, but now that isn't possible anymore. And since the classes are all online I can't pay attention to what the teachers are saying because the picture quality of their shitty webcam is far worse than how they would look like and sound like in real life.
This pandemic has been hell for me, the worst time in my life, even with the proper dose of medication I feel like an idiot who is unable to do basic things. I don't even know if I will pass the one class that mattered to me, my chemistry class, because when the semester started, I was so disorganized that when the day of the first exam came I wasn't prepared and started the semester with a 20%. I don't even know how I will come back from that since I also failed the final exam for experiments and now would need a grade that seems impossible to get.
The reason why I write essays is because it is my only way to cope with this hell of a situation, by writing I can ignore my problems for some time and feel like I am actually talking to real people who may validate me or give me attention and approval to make me feel like I really exist. I don't just have learning difficulties, I am also extremely lonely and my goal at the start of this year was to make friends and meet women but covid19 stopped me from doing that simple thing and now I feel stuck, like no matter what I do I can't get what I want.
This was not really an essay, more of a rant than anything else. I have never done such a rant on a post before. I just let it all out. The truth is that I don't intend on staying here after seeing how much this website has affected my self esteem for the worst. I thought that my beliefs would remain strong enough to not be broken but clearly I was wrong.
This is bound to happen when you force yourself into an echochamber, like with cults, you start to believe what everyone says about you and about the world, you stop being an independent individual and become a mindless brainwashed incel.
I know what I am able to attract and I know that I am not ugly, I know how far I have come in looks when I look at old pictures. And since most users try to constantly destroy my self esteem by mocking me and telling me that I am ugly, I have to leave for good. I know that if I remain here, not only will I not accomplish anything and fail all my goals and feel like a loser but also even after the end of the pandemic, if I stay, I'll start to believe that I shouldn't even try to meet women in real life or approach the girls who check me out because that is the level of toxicity that incels spread constantly, and with that low of a self esteem I could neved succeed. But I know thaf if I leave now, I will get what I want from life and I will be able to maintain the high self esteem that I have had since coming on this site.
