Verifiable PROOF of gamer oppression.
Gamers rise up.
Getting a dopamine hit from arguments is a very ADHD trait
Blaming ADHD for antisocial behavior is pretty cowardly IMO.
There are hundreds of millions if not billions of people with ADHD, and abusive behavior to the degree you’re describing is not nearly so common.
TL;DR: good on you for improving, but don’t rope the rest of us into this.
Alright, i didn’t know.
This is not your ADHD, this is some sort of antisocial behaviour, maybe driven on by one or more (maybe undiagnosed) personality disorders. I’d recommend at least getting checked by a professional in the field (psychiatrist perhaps, depending on your country) so you can find out what is driving this behaviour, and then you can make a decision on whether you want to address it or not. Knowledge is power and knowing more about yourself is helpful, regardless whether you decide to address it or not.
You’re definitely projecting something onto all PC gamers, but I couldn’t tell you what. Is there someone that you dislike personally that’s PC Master Race?
