Such a curious place with a wonderful assortment of variances

Buuuut, since you are so fixated on the word disease being inaccurate and did not get my light hearted humor on the matter, I shall concede and tell you it was the wrong choice of phrasing on my part. I apologize since it was not my intention to make you feel as though I believe you to be of the ill sort. I do have to point out how not every sickness has a cure, in fact many sicknesses do not have a cure. I never suggested there was a cure, but of course you already know since you read my response all the way through. One last thing, scientific accuracy isn't something irrevocable. I do, however, respect what is known at the moment, but I also respect the idea of what could be known in the future.

Please don't condescending by calling me peach and sweetpea. I can be very sweet but not when I'm being sprayed by unicorn feces.

I'm sure you read all of my text but you clearly missed the entire point. We are not sick the I can't tell when people are delusional in lala land but I'm giving the benefit of the doubt.


I am not sick, I have ADHD. You don't speak for me, I am not fixated and I do not appreciate your passive aggressiveness or your condescension.

Oh look, there's some fluffy bunnies over there.....

I didn't miss the point. I agreed how you are not a sick individual. It is difficult to take your word on something , such as being sweet, when you clearly are trying to make me feel bad. You took my words entirely out of proportion which is the point I was trying to make, but instead of accepting how maybe you took it a little too far... you have to keep putting me down. Fighting on something I didn't even intend to say or do. I am not going to call you derogatory names if it is what you wish me to do. I am going to say I have not experienced any sort of kindness from you or any benefit of the doubt. The way you "welcomed" me into this forum was by ripping apart what I had to say. I made a mistake and I apologized for hurting you. Those words were not in condescension. Just like you don't like to be called a diseased person, I don't like to be called a delusional one. I am merely an eccentric person with different views on the world. I am not obtuse and I get everything you have said and had to say. It is funny to me how instead of just seeing what I'm actually saying, you focus on specifics to make your point. How do you justify this? Making me out to be something I'm not? Doing the exact acts which you profess me to be doing? I came to this forum to meet new people who can empathize with my situation. I may not have a diagnosis, but it is pretty damn clear to me and my doctor where I am at. Just because my label isn't as solid as yours doesn't mean I don't understand. I do hope you actually listen to what I'm saying instead of making the same argument to which I wasn't even expressing in the first place. I hope you do see I am not an ignorant individual in need of this type of educating. I want to seek information on ADD in a form less combative and more broad in variety.

Oh what was I thinking, of course it's my fault.

[Meesha_love]

It is evident to me how this dispute shall not be resolved, as I have already apologized to you twice now. It's good how you and your friends mock me, at least I can take solace in knowing it builds a stronger bond. I think, however, you should maybe consider why I was upset since I considered why you were. Instead of making fun of me and negating any blame for your actions and only focusing on mine. I explained my reasons and hoped it would be enough for you, but I think this argument will unfortunately continue and I really don't have the energy or time to devote anything more to it. I wish you the best. I do mean this sincerely and without condescension.

Eccentric people don't refer to themselves as eccentric. I doubt that they even recognise their own eccentricities.

THEATRICAL people, on the other hand take pleasure in referring to themselves as eccentrics, free-thinkers, intellectuals, and any number of other labels that make them appear special and unique. They tend to be quite shallow and boring beneath the surface

I find myself having difficulties truly fathoming what a diagnosis may mean for me. I have been doing my research and have found many commonalities between symptoms of the disease and myself. It's just somewhat hard to digest it all...I think some sugar would do the trick, don't you? In a way, it's so bittersweet. I would love to finally put a name to the differences I have between myself and other people. On the other hand, knowing brings a new set of challenges which I haven't yet fully explored. The point of this message though is I want to introduce myself and I would love to get to know a great many people here. Please do tell me your stories because I have a very fond affinity with them.

People with add never correctly use the word precipice in a sentence. Ill need to examine you myself before you are fully accepted into the secret add club.

I would never ask my friends to mock anyone. EVER! I don't know what was wrong with my first post. I corrected you, I don't see that as a bad thing. I did say welcome. Holy cow... I overlooked the 'sweetpea' tho yeah it rankled, I kept my post factual in an attempt to explain why I felt you were wrong, you brushed off all that I said.. I didn't want any apology. So, last post here... I and many others with adhd are called blunt and abrupt, sometimes people take it as rude.

I did consider why you were upset, some people dislike being wrong and take offense when it's pointed out and will argue it. I felt making the point srongly would help you in the future because then you might not make such a statement. Just a heads up, don't use cute names when someone disagree's withyou, you may not know this but it can be seen as very hostile, and condescending, perhaps that wasn't your intent. Disagreement happens often on these forums, I will disagree with my dearest friends if I feel they are really wrong. People tell me what they think too, and I don't think I'm known for getting upset about it. I will always work it out.

Best of luck, I was recently diagnosed 7 weeks ago, never been better mentality wise. The only problem is that you are consistently doing so much work that you feel your life is just passing by.

I thought I wouldn't come back to this thread since it really turned into an ugliness I can't even begin to explain. Alas, I am here and I do want to explain some things since I feel I have started off on the wrong foot with people here.

I do not believe I am special, unique, or even intelligent. I have a love affair with the english language, as well as the underlying, undertows it may present in various conversations. However, I seem to fail when it comes to interaction since I have somewhat of an affinity with debates and arguments...and a selectiveness about speaking. I fear the consequences which may ensue from allowing feelings to be presented.

I like to learn about people though and arguments are a raw version of what a person is about and what they are impassioned with. I would never presume anyone would deliberately attempt to mock me here or ask to do so, but unfortunately the mocking has happened no matter the causation. I understood how I used the wrong word to describe a condition and I didn't mean it the way it came out. I admitted to being wrong and I accepted/continue to accept this fact.

I don't connect with people well and I came to this forum because I would like to be able to have someone or various people to talk too. I feel like I fall apart a good portion of the time. I am constantly being put in my place by the people around me for the type of language I choose to use and the topics I am interested in and also for my need to address the correctness of an argument.

Although I am aware of this fact, it is difficult to deviate away from the way I choose to speak and think for an extended period of time. The point being, even though I understand what a person is saying... I may not agree with the way it is presented. I tend to argue this point because I like to present differing opinions and perspectives. Unfortunately when it becomes too personal, I have a difficult time taking it all in without a defensive, guilty conscience.

I just feel truly sorry for offending people. I really didn't mean it. I want to make friends here, not enemies. I also want to understand what other people have been through, who they are aside from their issues, and how they came to this point in their lives. I want forgiveness, if anyone is willing to allow me to receive it.
