I just wanna actually pick up my guitar and practice and learn… It’s right there. I can see it. I have the desire, the motivation, and the time. And yet I can’t. 😬
I hate it. I hate it so fucking much. It’s like being trapped in a prison but the prison is your own body.
I guess I agree, but also there’s the type where I don’t want to do something because of its sheer boringness. Not sure if that’s ADHD though.
Is “i don’t want to” enough? No justification. Just I don’t want to.
I heard that laziness is pleasurable, and executive dysfunction is not.
Laziness is pleasurable???
Laziness has ALWAYS been derided as a character flaw.
Executive disfunction is euphemism treadmill for laziness. There were books 50 years ago on how to self manage behavior.
Executive disfunction is still a character flaw. It’s ok to be flawed. We are human. Recognizing flaws and trying to fix ourselves is personal growth.
From the ocean of laziness comes fabulous fishes. But you have to enter the ocean of laziness first. You’ve got to submit to it and be okay with it. And then when you are all floppy and spread out like that, a true inspiration will arise.
I think that the heart of executive dysfunction is the conflict between your own guiding forces and the guiding forces offered by society.
In our society it is assumed that it is only good and healthy that you submit to the latter. And the vast majority of us do, smoothly and automatically.
But some of us are different and this process of submission is not smooth. It might not even happen at all. There will be that ongoing conflict.
Society is a hammer and Time, its anvil.
I taste your nick
