that “you’d succeed if you just cared and tried harder” line has done a whole lot of damage to ADHD people, I tell you what Sometimes i wake up at 3 am in a cold sweat imagining someone saying, "if you actually cared you would have made it a priority"
And then I panic set 17 more alarms for everything
Report cards like this bullshit too. “You managed to get done what was asked anyway but you still didn’t seem like you were tRyInG hArD eNoUgH”
Coasted. Resting on laurels. Off the pace. Not working to potential. Less than desired. Disruptive. Talks too much. Talented but…
Always “but…”
Comments like that make me quite sure that school isn’t so much about getting an education but ensuring that you’re suffering to an acceptable level.
Fun fact: civilization is suffering.
funner fact: the only point of having a civilization is to reduce suffering.
We would have to change the minds of billions to remove money and the work-to-survive mindset from the equation.
