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.

Use it for evil.
Say “You should just stay in bed all day.” to someone like this.
Won’t work if they realize you’re trying reverse psychology on them though
What if they know that I know that they think I am trying reverse psychology? Hmm?
Just paralyzes them into thinking what if you know they know you know they know you know they think you’re trying reverse psychology
Yeah volunteering feels lots better than following direction
Reactance is weird. When I was in school my parents telling me to study actually puts me off from studying. But now I am a working adult, I had to let being bossed around by peers from another team that I support so that I don’t get into trouble. Good thing I got a promotion so I don’t have to deal with them eejits.

Huh?
Your coworkers who want a promotion pull this shit all the time. They’ll see you starting [task] because its literally your job. Your only job. “Hey could you just do [task] for me please?”.
Now you’ve got a choice, be petty and not do your only job, or accept that hes your boss now and do what he told you to do.

This comic is better when you read it Manga-style.
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

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…
Neat, I didn’t know there was a word for it
same with disehes , i told them to get a dishwasher to save tons of time.

Edit: Nevermind, I guess for some reason even when you paste the normal link in, it displays it with a space on my instance for some reason.
it’s the 'tism
This is just human nature. Even neurotypical people tend to do this.
never said NTs don’t.
if you often find yourself not doing something because someone told you to do it though, chances are higher that you’re on the spectrum. that’s one of the reasons why ABA is a thing.
NTs do it too, just not as often and usually just shrug it off and do whatever they were going to do anyway.
