Like seriously. Is adhd just a collecting tank for literally every mental disorder or emotional disturbance? How to ever explain what adhd does if these memes provide so much different information at once. How can all of this be adhd. Maybe its just human nature. Help.

This meme also seems to be an autism thing but adhd and autism sometimes co-occur and or can share similar symptoms.

And it could also be that one builds different personalitys to fit in with society, so more like a coping mechanism.

Ah ok that makes sense. Since I have a tendency for both its quite complicated to differentiate.

It's not just the condition it's how people manage it, for example masking to fit in

Well I tried to reduce my automatic masking abilities a while ago and I feel more comfortable in my own body since. But still no frends :3 I think being multiple personalities at once is just my personality. Differentiate and Integrate. Hard process. Still in it. Help.

Also why are 60% of all autism posts by you?

Only 60% of posts by one individual actually means the community is active and thriving. Are you familiar with the 90-9-1 rule? Lemmy is still small enough that most communities that are any activity at all are being carried by a single individual.

Having a small community is a blessing and a curse. Reddit grew too large of a user base, and the quality of interactions took a significant decline around 2015 or so. I'm hoping Lemmy (and federation in general) can bring back what I found special about Reddit around 2009-2010.

I see some of the issues that Reddit has (one-word or low-effort comments, people not reading the article, atrocious grammar/spelling), but it doesn't seem to be the norm. I've been visiting Lemmy for around a year but have finally decided to stop using Reddit and become active over here.

Those issues you point out ("that reddit has") seem to be common on all medium/large platforms. One word comments like "first" and "this" were common on sites like digg, long before reddit came along. And spelling/grammar mistakes are older than the internet.

What if that one individual is not well informed? Makes all others look like dumb sheeps. I am scared of this.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 day ago

Then be that poster yourself, I guess? There's not much that can be done about this, this is just sort of how human beings work. Most people are going to be silent consumers and lurkers.

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

Everyone else is just lurking

There's a lot of overlap in experiences of folks with different mental conditions. Whilst the root cause is different with a neurodiverse brain or mood disorders or personality disorders they might lead to similar experiences. The question becomes how much is it impacing someone's life or how well can those behaviours stemming from these experiences be integrated. There's also the fact that self-awareness might be picking up on those experiences better in one group compared to others.
