Normal people: Let's be reasonable, don't overreact.

Politicians: BUILD THE WALL! AROUND EVERY COUNTRY!

Alex Jones: Y'all are all gonna die, we're doomed lol

ADHD bingo 

I'm surprised by home many of these apply to me.

NOTE: People don't tell me that I'm lazy, but "Myself" tells "Me" that I'm lazy. It's just as bad.

Long boring ADHD post 

This is super applicable, although I wasn't aware of all these things consciously, I've figured out how to deal with a lot of them:

> Prevent Frustration

I try to work with as little people in the room as possible. Humming, singing, and my new helps, too. Moving (or, rarely, dancing), helps too. What I've found is, strange as it may sound, while studying in a classroom, pacing on a table provides the perfect amount of rush that I need.

> Create Interest

I make things interesting by making them funny; adding quips in my notes keeps me interested in them when I read them, as I love jokes and humor. For gamification, I pay attention to the grades I get on my homework (which I actually used to procrastinate in reading because I was afraid I didn't get a good grade). I'm actually realizing that if I apply myself, no matter how hard it may be, I'll see the end result eventually.

> Externalize

I've been doing this for a long time, finally personifying my internal and external characters as "me" (external) and "myself" (internal). Myself is a far harsher critic than Me.

Example:

* I get a bad grade *

Myself: See, this is why you should've studied more. This is all your fault for spending too much time with your friends.

Me: Nothing wrong with spending time with friends. Friends are more important than grades. Nothing I can do about the grade now, I just need to prioritize my time better, and study earlier so I can still hang out with my friends.

I find it interesting that 's Woman article directly contradicts most common talking points of the (particularly ) agenda. Especially when considering that they are widely considered to be left-leaning.
