Poor impulse control is a hallmark symptom. It could very well be viewed that my decision to reply was a lack of impulse control. Especially because, intellectually I understand that I didn’t need to respond at all and that I was adding negative energy where there wasn’t any… generally not a nice thing to do. Looking back on it, I see that.
I’m not sure that I agree that “owning my mistake” is a solution here.
It’s also worth noting that blaming me for worsening a stigma against ADHD is kinda triggering. It makes me feel shitty, without any clear path to improving. Unless I misunderstand what it means to own your mistakes. I generally understand that to mean “I fucking suck, I see that and I will endeavor to do better”.
