Re: Why is ADD such a sensitive subject for some people?

Might as well wade in……this is going to seem cynical maybe…….but here goes……FOLKS DON’T REALLY CARE!!!

Sure, they have some surface concern in their voice (it’s polite), and make the obligatory conversational “oh really”, “gee that’s too bad”, or, “you know I think my cousin has ADD”….that kind of thing. Truth is…folks got their own shit to deal with on a day to day basis, they really do, and they don’t wanna listen to yours or mine. Fact……..

People don’t wanna hear other folks problems, not really. When folks say…. “hey how ya doin”….it’s a greeting, that’s all!! They don’t want you to stop and tell them your dog died, and your aunt Minnie’s back is bad, your ulcer is acting up and your boss is going to fire you cause you never get work on time and he’s so unfair, and it’s really not my fault I have ADD…..blah, blah blah….it was a greeting.

They never expected somebody to unload on them!! You do the above to people they will start to avoid you………turn the corner, run away, or tell you…. they gotta run, catch ya later!! They want…. ” hey, I’m good…. you?”, and a smile…..as a greeting and that’s it…PERIOD!!!!

Misfortune, illness, and tragic circumstances make people feel awkward, uncomfortable, they don’t wanna spend their time talking about that shit. Truth is and I’ll be straight here…..I don’t like it either. We all have our shit to bear. There are a few select folks I share with in my Face to Face life but not many……select 2 or 3 safe friends….that’s all. For those people, I have day, all week, all month……..and of course for you guys too.

I know, I know…..cynical………well go ahead label if you wish but………..look at all the examples above?????? I’m jus sayin’…..
