Why don't people get it when... (details on inside)?

Question

Why don't people understand it when I say I am happy with having ADHD and I wouldn't want to change anything about my life? They then look at me like I have 10 heads or something... I mean my whole family has ADD/ADHD so we all remind each other alot and we all talk fast so it's no different than any other family. Why can't people grasp that concept??? It just doesn't make sense to me.

Answer 1

Hey, you're happy with who you are! That's great. If people can't seem to accept that... well, that's a problem. So don't care what people say, and it makes sense to me too.

Answer 2

Because people aren't generally happy with themselves and have no clue what to do with someone who is okay in their own skin. How's that one for an answer? :)

Answer 3

Because a lot of people are turds and think that you have to be perfect to be happy. Soooo not true. :)

I have paranoia about somebody hiding in my bedroom, and I might be bipolar. im happy too, though. :D

I also do not get that comment above mine, like is it a joke or something? I almost laughed at how incredibly stupid that person sounded. BAHAH!

Answer 4

people don't understand why others may enjoy the label.  

Answer 5

well @ least u expressed ur thoughts & feelings. It's alrite however u feel & u do get more 2 go through & experience.

Answer 6

whatever makes you happy.

i can't change how you are.  

Answer 7

Its just the way some people are... I actually hate it when people have to take medicine for that >_>; I dont have any problem with it but because hyperactiveness has now been an ecuse for ADHD(some people are sometimes stupid that way) I just really dont think anyone should even take any medication for it, unless its like you dont pay attention at all, like you're deaf but you're not >_>;

Talking fast shouldn't be any escuse either... My Grandpa talks really fast especially in Spanish, and he's actually pretty mello. I talk really fast sometimes especially when Im trying to make a point.

I think I strayed from the original point, lol, but itts just the way humans are. If they think something is odd, they tend to be a little mean about it. You'll get it alot so just try to ignore it. Be proud to have ADHD haha XD Its not like you're the only family thats not like anyone else out there... No one is the same and people just dont know that -_- Some do, but thats very few >_>;

Answer 8

Because they are meanies!

Answer 9

they probably think that ADHD is like horrible and they don't understand or something.

but wtf is up with the guy above me?

jk, the answer got deleted.

Answer 10

A lot people are ignorant as to what having ADHD constitutes. Most people thinks it means you are mentally retarded. =) Same for people who are bipolar or have depression. People only recognize them for the extreme behavioral cases, and don't realize that some cases are more mild than others.

Answer 11

wtf because they are hardheaded
