I am pretty sure this is anyone, not really ADHD specific. More like a “makes me feel good to buy something” specific. Which is many many people.
If that’s ADHD, then capitalism is ADHD for the masses
On the one hand, capitalism loves us (or our money) and wants to make everyone else behave like they have ADHD too. On the other hand it hates us and treats us like pieces of shit, even more than the general population.
Let’s take revenge and try to have a good life without being shamed for ‘slacking’. Living well is the best revenge!
Capitalism does prioritize engagement and spending by exploiting short-term dopamine rushes, so in a way kinda-sorta yes?
ADHD as a clinical diagnosis though is the chronic inability for the brain to absorb/retain dopamine; a neurological or chemical issue that isn’t “caused” by behavior. Severe enough and you get to the point where you desperately want to play a video game or watch a show but can’t even press the start button 🥲
I mean, you can take it out of the shipping box but it stacks pretty good with the others if you don’t.
I have no idea how I got past this phase in my ADHD. I think at some point my brain went “okay only buy thing you’re going to use like every day”
I see this guy also bought a Flipper Zero
Me too thanks. I can read my cat’s microchip now, which is cool, I guess.
