https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactance_(psychology)
In psychology, reactance is an unpleasant motivational reaction to offers, persons, rules, regulations, advice, recommendations, information, nudges, and messages that are perceived to threaten or eliminate specific behavioral freedoms. Reactance occurs when an individual feels that an agent is attempting to limit one’s choice of response and/or range of alternatives.
Who gave you this comic about ME in particular? (and yes, it’s the ADHD)
EDIT: Bro I was literally diagnosed when I was eight. It’s not a quirky thing, it’s something I genuinely have, do ya’ll need my fuckin Ritalin receipts or something?
Nobody said you don’t have ADHD. We said this has nothing to do with ADHD
Mds cara, relê meu comentário. Tava dizendo que nem tudo tem origem em TDAH, e desculpar idiossincrasias e comportamentos normais como tendo origem em TDAH é simplesmente errado.
Guarda teus recibos 🙄…
No, it isn’t the ADHD. Nowhere in this post is ADHD mentioned. Not everything is ADHD. In fact, this is a generalisable behaviour as described under the post itself by OP.
Americans have the strangest culture of excusing infantile ingrained behaviour as pathology.

Super interesting study, thanks for posting!
So glad someone else said it. People lumping normal behaviors into mental disorders and calling them personality traits is one of my biggest pet peeves of Lemmy.
I LITERALLY WAS DIAGNOSED WHEN I WAS EIGHT.
That doesn’t mean every normal feeling you develop is caused by your ADHD
If you mean “Americans” as someone from the Americas, sure.
If you mean USians, the comment OP is not.
I’m not American, and I was diagnosed when I was 8 years old… Like, sometimes people just HAVE that…
