This reads as needlessly hostile, maybe from assuming the worst interpretation of what kohbo is saying.
Charitably, I read it as 'Telling someone to get good at the thing they are struggling with doesn't work'. This is similar to the oft seen adages of 'just do things to make you happy to fix your depression' met with sarcastic 'gee thanks, I'm cured' responses.
Certain habits, skills, etc, might be more important for some people to focus on than others to manage debilitating effects, but that importance comes with the consequence of those same feats being harder.
- llamaimperative 2y ago“What do you do if your habit framework gets jostled” “You adapt to it — don’t let fear of inevitable challenges prevent you from starting” “No thanks I have ADHD” Okay, what other possible answer is there? There’s no way to guarantee your habits don’t get jostled and there’s no method to correct it than adapting. Any specific adaptation method is also notably harder for ADHD folks too. Yes, it is harder, that’s why in order to succeed at this thing one needs to work harder. Any Quick Tip that’d make this easier for an ADHD person would make it easier for everyone else too, ergo it’d be the default advice, and it’d still be harder for an ADHD person to apply. I think it's fair to say "you adapt" is ~useless advice for everyone, FWIW.
