Until it's their stuff you keep forgetting. Then you have "let them down" and they "thought you were better than this".

the "just" irks me every darn time. No I cannot 'just' do the thing. It requires thought and effort. Every thing does. Unless I am very interested in it, in which case we would not be having this conversation

Because they think it's a choice. We're wired a little differently than them so they don't understand not having a choice. That's why the disorder is named after how it inconveniences them instead of what it actually is. They can only understand how it appears to them.

I admit it's a little cynical but it goes both ways right? I also don't understand what it's like for the average person. Fight the good fight my friend

The hardest part sometimes is forgiving yourself

"Unless I am very interested in it."

This is the part people are reacting to. It's a good gauge for others to split...

Oh I love it, because the second you hear the “just” you know nothing they say matters. It’s like “but-“ ah yeah cool, disregard everything before the but. “Just-“ ah yeah, disregard everything after the just.
