my parents always say, “oh you just need to apply yourself sweetie.” And im like, you think I dont fucking apply myself every fucking day? You cant stand the idea of me being bad at something? It makes me angry.
It’s just like how parent teacher interviews went for me through the entire 13 years I was schooled, “oh he doesn’t ask many questions”, well maybe either you barely taught me about a topic that it’d be embarrassing to ask a question or I know so much about the topic that you should be asking me the questions, rarely anything in between, but they still kept saying I don’t ask questions, as if that really adds value to the way I get educated.
Also not asking questions could just be because you have nothing to add or say, same thing with general social interactions if I respond with a grunt it probably means I heard you but I ain’t got nothing to add.
Yeah exactly, that too. I usually tend to zone out and think about my interests instead, since all the classes were just a whole lot of yap and basically just saying everything needed for 10x longer than it should go for, then they wonder why students couldn’t keep up in many sessions lol

ADHD kids are bad at applying themselves. They heard that line A LOT.
“you have so much potential”
Surely if we just destroy your self worth you’ll unlock that potential, right?
