Haha that's so--
Actually, never mind. I don't care that much.
I also do this with emails at work all the time. I write a long detailed explanation of why something or someone is incorrect, then I realize clicking send will just cause me more hassle and I'm just working to get paid. It's not really gonna make my job any harder if they continue to be wrong, so it'll just sit there in drafts.
Mostly it's like I keep editing and editing to get the right tone for a somewhat offensive style joke so I don't have too many people not understanding it's a joke before I think "fuck it, this is too much work for a stupid joke."
Not necessarily anything to do with ADHD. Sometimes I just realise that writing whatever I'm writing would just trigger someone to start a fight. Then I stop.
When you realize you're the idiot for engaging with them
Sometimes I get to the finish line and submit it. Then some shmuck has the nerve to point out some silly little typo. I barely care enough to finish the comment you real
I do this in real life too. I just windows log-off noise midway through a conversation
Happens all th
Negative engagements on Lemmy and Reddit. Felt stupid responding to some grumpy troll after I realise I don't actually care about them, their comment, or the topic in general.
Now when I do it, it's because nothing better is killing the next 10-15 mins I'm waiting to pass and I'm curious to see how far they'll go.
Trolling trolls. A fantastic pastime for the middle-aged. If you're real lazy but still curious, just copy paste it with ChatGPT and then it's extra fascinating because you're watching a troll go head to head with a bot.
Omg... yes!
Or that I don't actually have anything to contribute and that my opinion has already been stated so I won't be adding anything original to the conversation.
described me, perfectly
My usual thought process is: Can’t be arsed to do a full write up that covers all my thoughts on the topic, and even if I did no one wants to read it.
If I write a summarised comment then people will just nitpick the bits I didn’t address, and I can’t be bothered to respond to replies.
Start typing, get distracted. Come back and realise I never hit post
When I type out a well thought out reply and realize where I'm posting it. They will not appreciate my hot takes.
i stopped caring about life alltogether. years start to mean shit when someone decides how long should it take to finish a curriculum or how long u ll have to grind to reach that higher pay position..i mean if nothing were up to me, why would i still care? this shouldn't be adhd exclusive, or i might hav adhd. bothways, idc ( at some point doctor called me bipolar, and in my mind, i was like: sure bro) psychiatry is sometimes overrated and ineffective, seems like big pharma funded snake oil kinda science, just a pretense to churn out ineffective chemicals for psychotropes. have problem: smoke weed or something, although i didnt try yet
Daily lmao.
And yet some have no such filter and start firing off comments without a second thought.
They didn't read article, didn't spend time forming an opinion, and yet they may still be the highest voted comment in the thread. It's like drive-by comment diarrhea.
I wish most threads had a "serious conversation" area separated from the humor/low-effort section.
Same with entering into pote trial flamewars or debates. Too tired, dont care
Had something really clever to say about this but then I
Are you trying to imply people with ADHD, as in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, have an attention span long enough not to reply?
I do this all the
I think this is actually a positive sign. At least a step in the right direction. Increased awareness and cutting your losses, not being further drawn in by the sunk-cost or completion bias.
I totally didn't do this multiple times today.
I still care. I just don't want to potentially start an argument I don't intend to engage in.
More like start writing a comment. Realize you said you weren't going to get involved so type out the rest of your spiel and delete it. This anytime tipping comes up.
People aren't that great online at hearing what you mean not what you're saying. The implications normally drawn by assuming the other person is either of basic intelligence or aware of the context are thrown out the window in favor of Internet points.
It's exhausting. Sometimes that's why I like mastodon or twitter or threads or nostr. Whatever pick your poison. Point is I want to say my fucking piece and not have to add all this extra context so the other person doesn't call me an idiot on some niche part of what I said.
Thinking about it from the commenters perspective: People online need to go back to just saying what they actually meant to say without prefacing everything. If that happened we'd at least have a more fulfilling experience. There's a reason folks leave knee jerk comments and don't elaborate further because the sentiment is popular too.
So fucking often thi...

That's why I would love a "save draft" option on Lemmy. First I could write down what I want, keep it and decide later if I really want to send it and even if I don't want to, I could keep it and maybe re-use it some other day or just learn from what I felt the moment I wrote this.
But now I want that pint though
It happens to us all eventually, the longer we interact online. The reality is, it's necessary to counter misinformation for society as a whole going forward and while I try to jump in where possible, I've definitely stayed out of more and more controversial discussions. That's said, I respect and appreciate the next generation taking up the torch. We need you.
Been the
I do this allll the time. I'm like do i want to engage in this conversation? NOPE lol
I don't have a Cancel button on the web UI so I am usually nervous that it will somehow get posted ever tho I don't want to post it.
I can’t even count the number of times I felt this way.
Lol when I make a comment about something political, I often don't reply to the replies because I've said my bit and am not interested in expanding on it or arguing about it.
True
Language isn't just a communication skill. We use it to imagine complex concepts; monetary systems, nation states, moral codes. The fictitious ideas that are the foundation of society.
Language is a new fandangle way of articulating our thoughts. Regardless of whether anyone else reads it, we examine and inform our own opinion without swaying others. For example, determine that we dont really give a shit about a certain topic.

It just adds to the power of the posts you do make
Ditto
Yep
Well you know what...
Yeah. Fuck yeah.
Also, didn't realize I missed this meme.
Well.... Leave it, i don't have any time tomorrow is my exam. 💀
Pfff. I ignore most replies all together. Half the time people didn't even read my comment. But also because I'll have moved on and don't care anymore.
Same goes for this comment.
What
I just did this 5 secs last post...
Most of the time I'm simply too lazy for a worthwhile comment.

I don't care enough to hold whatever rubbish my brain is spiting out so I send it anyway

If I can't write it in like two sentences, I won't write it.
