    Show this comic to 100 people and almost all will think they’re in the blue zone.

    This is like those ADHD memes which just list every one of life’s inconveniences or challenges as some kind of “symptom.”

    Everyone has these feelings, it’s not a curse, it’s just life.

      I guess you didn’t realize that pretty much every ND diagnostic criteria is something that pretty much every human experiences to some degree or another, but people who experience them to levels where it negatively impacts their life can get diagnosed and treated so that they can attempt to live a “normal” life. It’s not some big gotcha you just figured out, it’s part of the actual diagnostic criteria for the conditions.

        Can’t find the source right now, but some tweet compared it to peeing. Everybody has to pee, but when you have to go 30 times a day, there is obviously something different about you.

        Sure, and an earache can be nothing or a symptom of a brain tumor. That’s the problem with a bunch of people self diagnosing based on WebMD or memes.

      Fully agree. It’s strange that people think that being aware of ones deficits is beholden to people of above average intelligence. Being aware of your own limitations is a pretty basic human trait.

      Can you not try to drag ppl with ADHD thru the mud? Odds are you really don’t know what you’re talking about.
