I’m not sure if this is an ADHD related thing so I want some feedback.
For the longest time whenever I try to communicate an idea, a process, a plan, a piece of information … I’m oftentimes either not taken serious or people misunderstand me.
I know for myself that I sometimes skip steps in my explanation because I feel they’re too obvious to bother explaining. But sometimes it’s ridiculous to the point where I feel like people are out to dismiss me not on the basis of the information I’m providing.
Does this resonate with anyone?
A lot of people are very difficult to communicate with. My least favorite pathologies are
the fascist type, who just skims over what you said to find justification for what they already believed and dismisses everything else
the slopchild¹ who reflexively reacts to concepts and can’t comprehend that something is a critique or a discussion of how to cope with, just vibing on the idea and using that as an excuse to lash out
And the pure tool who thinks only in terms of social disapproval with a kind if neurotic fervor so quick to judge they don’t process full sentences.
Those people are impossible. I’ve just given up on trying to communicate with them linguistically. Sometimes i use music or violence, which aren’t terribly precise, and does not tend to make me friends. Especially not music.
¹referring to their mental state, not their age. You’d think this was a function of trauma, but it doesn’t seem to be immediately so in most cases. Its like larping PTSD.
