Haha that's so--
Actually, never mind. I don't care that much.
I have a strange fear of being engaged by trolls. The thought alone is exhausting. I may or may not take the bait but the possibility of wasting my time on a useless argument means I'm hesitant to post. Not sure if anyone else has felt like this.
It can be a part of Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, and it's more common in people with ADHD. You're not alone in feeling this way.
All the god damn time
Also, realizing that I actually don't really have any idea what I'm talking about...
Conversely, if you actually are an expert on a specific subject, reading any comment thread about it is very disheartening and will leave you wondering how much bullshit you've accidentally ingested and taken at face value from other threads about which you are less knowledgeable.
This phenomenon was coined Gell-Mann Amnesia. Sometimes people will ingest content uncritically even when the source has been wrong in the past on subjects the people are knowledgeable about.
I get so caught up in making sure my meaning can't possibly be misinterpreted that I get lost on my way to the point. I guess I don't want to be a cherry-picked example of somebody being stupid on the Internet.
Write something with specificity to avoid attacks on a general statement and nobody reads it because it’s TL;DR.
Write something general and brief and you get attacked for lack of specificity with people naming exceptions.
Can’t fucking win.
Interesting game, the only way to win is to not play.
Mostly it's like I keep editing and editing to get the right tone for a somewhat offensive style joke so I don't have too many people not understanding it's a joke before I think "fuck it, this is too much work for a stupid joke."
Spend 10 minutes articulating exactly how you conceptualize/feel about something.
"Yeah. That's about right, but nobody including myself really cares..."
Close tab.
It would being nothing to the conversation, or I don't find the right words for explain my ideas correctly.
Or I realize halfway through that I'm being a bit of a dick and decide the world doesn't need more shittiness so I just delete the comment.
Or I realize that the message I start to reply to is hostile and not worth engaging with.
Or I find the right words, but they come all at once and in the wrong order, and there's just so many of them, and it's very important that I get them exactly right, and... yeah I'm just going to not bother.
And then a few hours later I realize that it was a work email and I probably should get back to that.
Not necessarily anything to do with ADHD. Sometimes I just realise that writing whatever I'm writing would just trigger someone to start a fight. Then I stop.
Do you ever type out a multiple paragraph argument about something and then just delete it because it’s all bullshit anyway?
Yep. Like sometimes that fifth reread of the comment I'm replying to makes me realize the person is actually a troll and won't care how thought out my response is.
Happens to me all the damn time.
I just wish I wouldn't waste an hour typing and rewording it before I eventually give up.
This is like 80% of my comments but just 5-10 minutes. I don't want to deal with the follow up lol.
Arguing with people on the internet is like masturbation. It's fun at first, but eventually you realize you are only fucking yourself.
At least masturbation has an obvious end point.
Sometimes I get to the finish line and submit it. Then some shmuck has the nerve to point out some silly little typo. I barely care enough to finish the comment you real
When you realize that you don't have to reply to a person on the internet, then you are truly free
I do this in real life too. I just windows log-off noise midway through a conversation
I started 4 responses in this thread and submitted 2 of them. I'm proud of myself. Oh! This one makes 3!
I was going to respond but decided not to and kept scrolling till I decided I would ...
Happens all th
Omg... yes!
Or that I don't actually have anything to contribute and that my opinion has already been stated so I won't be adding anything original to the conversation.
described me, perfectly
My usual thought process is: Can’t be arsed to do a full write up that covers all my thoughts on the topic, and even if I did no one wants to read it.
If I write a summarised comment then people will just nitpick the bits I didn’t address, and I can’t be bothered to respond to replies.
Start typing, get distracted. Come back and realise I never hit post
When I type out a well thought out reply and realize where I'm posting it. They will not appreciate my hot takes.
i stopped caring about life alltogether. years start to mean shit when someone decides how long should it take to finish a curriculum or how long u ll have to grind to reach that higher pay position..i mean if nothing were up to me, why would i still care? this shouldn't be adhd exclusive, or i might hav adhd. bothways, idc ( at some point doctor called me bipolar, and in my mind, i was like: sure bro) psychiatry is sometimes overrated and ineffective, seems like big pharma funded snake oil kinda science, just a pretense to churn out ineffective chemicals for psychotropes. have problem: smoke weed or something, although i didnt try yet
When people start replying you questions that need super long responses and links that they can just find themselves from Google
