my theory is that our existence sits on thus razor thin line between appearing socially functional and socially disabled at the same time  we appear normal because dont have the out right visible disabilities where people can sympathize with the root causes physical disabilities autism etc but we actively and frequently fail and not live up to social standard   we struggle to attain an arbitrary social standard that regular people achieve with ease since they cant see or understand or sympathize with the root cause of our failings they see us as failures of our own makings   thus we take on this reasoning and expectations of others we dont see or feel that our adhd is worth acknowledging as a condition that deserve the same treatment as any other disabilities and just feel the guilt and shame for not living out our best version of selves   but on some days i would tell myself im broken but thats fine
