i've seen so many iterations of this on tiktok. people saying "this tweet motivates me to get out of bed"
how?
"omg you people cant do anything"
i mean... yeah? that's kinda how executive dysfunction rolls?
is the tweet supposed to be insulting? and that motivates people to do shit out of spite? if that's so, i wish my adhd was so weak i was able to prove her wrong out of spite
is it something else? please explain, thank you

I can't really read it any other way, and looking at the comments under an Instagram repost of this, yeah, it seems like that sort of "bootstraps mentality" is more or less the intended meaning as it's taken by the people who share this picture. It's just gross, I can't stand that people like stuff like this.

I am mostly disgusted by someone having a printed out tweet hung on their wall. Like that is some real shit

I think the original tweet was just a lighthearted self-deprecating joke and the retweeter took it way too seriously. it seems the meme is saying that this Very Online interaction has motivated them to touch grass, but I find it ironic because hanging a tweet on your wall is pretty antithetical to touching grass imo

My two cents is that I have ADHD and I have no idea why I’m apparently supposed to be stressed out by Halloween costumes. I love halloween

Halloween is the bees knees. I get to wear my special interest and I get rewarded with candy for it? Sign me the fuck up.

Sounds like you pretty much have it.
original tweet is opening a conversation about how halloween costumes affect people with ADHD
The quote tweet is insulting the original tweet.
the tiktok poster, presumably someone with ADHD, who presumably has some agreement with the quote tweet, has put the banner on their wall so that it will "motivate them to get out of bed in the morning" lest they get (figuratively) insulted by the quote-tweeter (who they agree with).

I think it's supposed to be interpreted as upsetting, so you do stuff out of spite. As you said.

In this scenario I don't think it's spite as much as a sort of modern rendition of "this too shall pass". Like a reminder to not overthink it

What is the issue for ADHD people and Halloween costumes? Is it figuring out what to wear? The actual wearing? Seeing everyone in the costumes walking around?

I think it's important to note that is is a twitter interaction, so both parties are most likely the worst people alive (even before Elon). The original poster seems to want to start a discussion about an entirely optional activity (wearing a costume on halloween), the retweeter has lumped all people with ADHD together and suggesting they are all complaining about what the retweeter sees as a completely non-issue. Suggesting that the retweeter thinks that ADHD people are paralyzed by absolutely anything. People saying it's their motivation are motivated by not wanting to be one of those ND people.

I think the first person actually wanted to say something like "my ADHD is making it so hard to pick a Halloween costume this year," but they're so twitter-poisoned that they have to turn it into a universal experience, assume the existence of an existing discourse around that experience, and imply a societal failing.

Yes, this too. The whole interaction is broken from top to bottom.

makes sense
but it's kinda out of our control, though, isn't it? we can try our best to do shit, but sometimes we can't do shit, and that will be it. beating ourselves up over it does nothing to help. in my case, simply accepting that sometimes i won't be able to do shit is actually what helped me the most

Absolutely. Far be it from me to tell someone how to motivate themselves, but the whole thing is really toxic.

As a neurodivergent I learnt to not give a fuck an do the shit. But decide clearly what is the shit I want to do. I understand the voices bashing you for failure are still there but you have to do it. The anxiety of not meeting the expectations are always there but still I do the shit. If you give in you're going nowhere. If it's too crippling you need medication or a change in it. I'm not saying I don't have my low days but if you give in is only low days for sure. Fuck is tiring but still... Now I should be cleaning the kitchen instead of being here you see...
