i hate when ppl are like “you have problems with doing things like memory and setting goals? write them down, make a schedule:)”

the aforementioned things make that a little difficult

“Defeat executive dysfunction by utilizing your executive functioning! It’s easy!”

so people are reblogging this post and i’ve gotten a few comments along the lines of “it’s like needing scissors to open the container your scissors are in”

and that’s exactly what it’s like

and i feel like there are a lot of people misunderstanding what this post was trying to say (commenting things like “trying isn’t a bad thing though!!! it really does work!!!!!!”)

but it’s like the scissors comparison

no one is saying they’ve given up trying to open the package–it’s just a complaint because this situation is frustrating

because when people give this kind of advice it’s kind of like saying “but you have those scissors in that container right there!! just open it with those!:) it’s not that hard if you try!!!”

but then when you ask for help because you can’t get the container open or you take a break because trying to rip it apart with your hands is exhausting and hurts, people yell at you for being lazy and not trying hard enough

this post is just saying that this situation is frustrating and how there should be better alternatives–i wish someone could lend me their scissors or a knife or SOMETHING instead of CONSTANTLY being expected to open the package with the scissors inside

what makes it even more frustrating is the fact that the scissors only last one use, so you have to struggle with this business with the container EVERY time you need to use them and no one seems to understand that it’s hard because they all have a knife or an extra pair of scissors to help them open theirs
