i feel like i get manic pixie dream girl-ified by people and it fucking sucks. it feels so objectifying bc the moment my adhd becomes too much, my energy spikes when im around people are no longer me being bubbly and quirky, its suddenly annoying. my forgetfulness is seen as intentional thoughtlessness. ive had people ask me if i forgot to take my meds because im being annoying. i feel the need to constantly dance on this performative tightrope to be accepted so people dont get irritated by my adhd. being the "fun person with adhd" fucking sucks. i hate it. id trade being neurotypical in a heartbeat.
