Yes. Until they get so extreme they ruin your life. That’s the whole thing with disorders. (Almost) everyone has some anxiety. Only some people have it so bad it interferes with daily functioning. Adhd is the same. Everyone procrastinates, forgets stuff, gets distracted. Not everyone is incapable of doing basic shit like taking out trash bags for months.
That’s fair, but comics like the above (which are endemic to this sub) aren’t about the extremes and are about standard human behaviours.
It’d be like someone seeing me double check the door lock at my house and saying “You must have OCD.”
I also find it mildly concerning that someone may see these memes / comics and self-diagnose themselves with a mental illness that they do not have since self-diagnosis (and wanting to belong to a group) is a massive issue in the internet age.
That’s been my exact response. So many things here are just… normal human behaviours.
