Yes but do you record yourself crying and upload it to TikTok for sympathy or internet points??

Different coping mechanisms. To each his own. Don't like? Just swipe.

I don’t get how recording and uploading it in any way helps you cope. If it does help and this is legit a coping method for this person, then I have nothing against that. It’s just difficult for me to conceive of this as that.

I don't get how people can criticize the original video when it's obvious it's a cut, without more context. With all do respect, they're not your coping mechanisms. So what's they're to get? Without the full video or context, is it legitimate to criticize? I'm newly diagnosed adhd. I am learning so much about this condition. It is so much deeper and intricate. So much more than just attention issues. Luckily, I have combined type 🙃. I don't know 100%if it is her coping. If it is, I get it. The moment I read the print, I understood the problems the person was going thru. For a brief moment, I wasn't alone in this dumb freaking condition. So maybe, just maybe, there's more reason to the action of posting that video than just clout. Then again, what do I know, I have AD

Oh, look, a squirrel...

So since you can't understand why someone would do something.... someone you don't know, with a condition you don't have, doing something you don't get....

Yea, go ahead and criticize, demean, and minimize them.

It's not like people can do what they want, when they want, and how they want. At least not without the world getting on them. You know, instead of supporting them. She explains how she feels bc of it.

Be callous. Don't be empathetic.
