ADHD: Why do people hate me so much?

I’ve written more than 100 articles on ADHD related stories, for this blog, going on 4 years now, and I am sad to say, that even though more than 125,000 (unique) people have visited my blog and read my stuff, I still struggle to keep my motivation up and keep on trucking … why? I’ll tell you …

Everyday I begin my day with reading the list of the latest published scientific articles on ADHD, and believe me, there is a lot!

Since Jan 1st. 2019 more than 600 articles have been published and in 2018 the number was around 2,000, with more than 34,000 published in all, on ADHD alone over the years.

I try to read the abstracts of every single one of the new ones, trying to determine if this is knowledge that could be of benefit to improve the everyday quality of life for the generic person with ADHD and their family.

Often I find, at least one, that I find to meet those criterias and I go down the rabbit role to educate myself on the topic and the findings, that the study puts forward. One of my principles are, that I will not be guilty of sharing information as knowledge, even if I unwillingly, have misread, misunderstood or misinterpreted the articles messages (English is not my first language, if you can’t tell), and therefore I contact the scientists and have a dialogue with them about their study, get verification of my understanding, and begin to write my piece on that study.

This takes, on average, 4-6 hours, including the educational layout, reference material, graphics links and editing, and publishing. Then I spend time on getting it out across social media, and hopefully someone will engage in some discussion about the particular topic.

Sometimes I realise that I actually really do have real life problems with the way my personality comes across, due to my ADHtism and it always amazes me, how I can repeatedly f*ck that part up, when I’ve spent all my energy on making sure that I don’t get something wrong, and subsequently misinform people.

Being the kind of ADHtist that I am configured as, my social skills actually do need some ‘adult management and support’, and even though my wonderful soon-to-be wife, has the patience of a Saint with me, and constantly offers her ‘opinion’ on how I could ‘think about what it would give me, if I …’ you know – that psychology stuff, that nice people use to help others relaise that they are way out of bounds, borderline megalomaniacal narcissistic and high on self-centeredness and brimming with Grandiosity, I still manage to get into some ‘flaming-war’ with someone on (any) subject at any time, any place and at any length of time!

And I, of course, cannot for the life in me, gain any insight into why people find me; arrogant, a know-it-all, rigid, and an (unwanted) auto-correction fact-checking function that simply cannot, not point out if someone got it backwards … All I’m doing is actually helping you not look like an idiot, again, when you reuse that ‘alternative truth’ that you love so much, without any consideration to whether its actually correct or not …

How come that people in society today, simply refuse to accept that there is something called ‘correct’ and something called ‘bullshit’, no matter how many ‘useful idiots’ some demagog have managed to persuade to mindlessly repeat THEIR propaganda, without any benefit to ‘the parrot’ themselves?

I’ve learned, that no matter how much truth I shove down the throat of someone, it is still bullshit that comes out the other end – WHY!?

Today, I think I’ve cracked the code … They do not wish to change their views, because then they have to change their peer group(s) as well, and what happens then – nobody knows, right? And what if I don’t get the same status in another peer group, that I have in this one I’m in right now!? How would I then ever get my daily dose of ass-licking by my admirers and where would that leave ME!?

They’re are so ingrained with their (alternative) identity, that they somehow justify living on re-telling a blatant lie, just to fit in and gain other people’s respect, no matter whomever that malicious propaganda might have a negative impact on, in their actual real life!?

No matter how much scientific evidence that I put forward on the fact that ADHD medication is not dangerous to take, neither today or going on 20 years … some people simply just denies even trying to enlighten themselves on the actual fact that ADHD medication must be one of the most, if not the most, studied medication in all of human history!

And the true reason that there are still no-one of them, that can prove that; ‘if you dope your kid with those cocaine-like drugs, they’ll end up as drug addicts in 10 years!’, is because it is bullshit!

Its actually just the other way around! If you do not medicate your child, the risk of them self-medicating with marijuana or ecstasy is sky high, since they don’t have any inhibitory control in that hormone-fueled teenage-brain and sex-crazed body of theirs, when they DON’T get their ‘Insulin’ for their ‘Diabetes’ of the Brain.

And then there is the real dangerous people, the psychologists and pedagogues that firmly believe that; if you just yell high enough and long enough at that lamp on your table, it will eventually turn on the light, even though you refuse to plug it into the socket and turn on the power! Well, Sherlock(s), just because your beliefs are based on subjective assumptions and interpretations of what the f*ck the world should be like, it doesn’t make it true, okay!? You cannot treat ADHD by talking about it, you can only treat a neurobiological disorder with neurochemical treatment, anything else would be just as stupid as demanding a Diabetic to stop taking their insulin, just because you’ve decided that they can live without it!?

Scientific consensus for more than 25 years now, agrees to the fact, that; ADHD is not a personality disorder, and is not caused by bad parenting, ‘insecure attachment crap’, too much sugar, iPad or love, and certainly not something that you can GET later in life, due to some diet you had as a toddler or any of the numerous farfetch, agenda-driven falsehoods that I and others with a conscious, have to spend day after day after day on battling in the public domain, in hope of ‘saving some of the Lambs from the slaughter’, before they fall in with the ‘In crowd’ of Anti-Vaxx’ers, Scientologists, Big Pharma Conspiracy Theorists or Alternative Biomedicine Experts and on and on and on they go …

Once people have settled on a comforting position of ‘truth’ they’re simply not brave enough to challenge their (peer-groups) beliefs and seek new knowledge on their own, and just continue their mind-numbing daily routine of endless repetition of the Gospel of their peers …

Well, I for one, say fuck that … I don’t care if you’ve decided to fuck up your own life, who cares!? But I do mind that your cowardice have a negative impact on millions of people, of all ages, all over the world, who was born this way, and still have to spend everyday having to live with the stigma of being ‘a drug addict’, ‘a spineless couch-potato’, or ‘an ignorant, unwilling and mindless Man-child, that haven’t got any clue as to why people just don’t appreciate his passionate dedication to fighting a losing battle against malicious hordes of factual Barbarians, that don’t give a f*ck about anyone other than themselves and their latest self-centered Instagram post from their ‘perfect-looking life’ that they’ve imagined up, to not end up on the other side of the argument, alongside an naïve idealistic idiot, like me …

Thankfully, my brain is so damaged after living 40 years with undiagnosed and unmedicated ADHD, that tomorrow … I’ll wake up and do it all over again, just because I refuse to be made a slave to other people’s bullshit – I’ve got my own bullshit, thank you!

‘Have A Nice Day’ …
