Now millions of redditors have a reason to self-diagnose themselves with ADHD. Great.

[–]TotallyKafkaesque 301 points302 points ago

I always wonder, if someone diagnosed himself as a hypochondriac, how could you possibly argue that he is not one? I want to walk into a doctor's office and say, "I think I'm a hypochondriac." When he asks, "what do you think you have?" I'll just say, "hypochondria."

    [–]TotallyKafkaesque 41 points42 points ago

    It's just a stupid joke. They actually require a patient to be convinced of two or more conditions to be properly diagnosed with hypochondria. I suspect it is to avoid precisely this circular logic, but I'm a hypochondriac and paranoid, so who knows.

    [–]SirSun 8 points9 points ago

    Do they actually need to believe they have two conditions though? I was convinced I had cancer, and until I had multiple blood tests, ultra sounds, urine tests, etc, I was depressed with extreme anxiety and insomnia. All because of a back ache and my balls aching one day. I fully admitted to hypochondria the whole time (was that not correct?) but that did absolutely nothing to quell the horrible mental strain I was putting myself through. I still worry about cancer.

      A hypochondriac is terrified he is sick, when in fact he usually is not. Hypochondria could be considered a mental sickness. Ergo if a hypochondriac is afraid he has hypochondria, he actually does have hypochondria and thus is in fact sick, which means he is not really a hypochondriac so he's not actually sick.

                          Yes! Thank you. OCD isn't what people always think - there is a lot more to it than constantly straightening things and washing your hands. People who use it like "OMG I'm soooo OCD" Seriously need to see how it feels for a while, it isn't fun.

                            [–]Lurking_Grue 13 points14 points ago

                            It came about as coping mechanism due to a panic disorder, it only made things worse.

                            Much of the anxiety came about around the Tylenol scares so I developed a serious food tampering phobia so I developed rituals about how I could eat food and it could only be food that was already opened. I couldn't open up a package of oreos and just eat one other people had to be involved.

                            I have to check and re-check things. I would find myself counting cups before I could take a drink. I would always take the 2nd cup down and shake it out first. I would end up repeating it a lot.

                            I was put on xanax but all that achieved was an addition to xanax.

                            It took me a better part of a decade to overcome.

                                  I have a friend who diagnosed herself with Aspergers. She didn't have any of the "symptoms" until she self diagnosed herself.

                                  Now, no one can make a loud noise without her going into a dramatic fit of her closing her eardrums and forcing herself to cry. Blames it on her "Aspergers."

                                  Actually, I'm a doctor myself and can diagnose that's actually a case of Attention Whore, not Aspergers.

                                  Exactly. she blames it on everything. Including her only having 2 friends. Makes me sorta mad considering she sorta makes a joke out of all the people who actually have Aspergers.

                                      i have Aspergers and loud noises do make me uncomfortable, but its just like a chalkboard being scratched. its highly irritating and kind of makes me shut down and not able to focus on things, but i wouldn't get emotional about it.

                                      yes and no. you can be irritated by sounds and not have Aspergers, but people with Aspergers tend to be more sensitive to sounds. also its not just about being irritated. when i hear a loud noise i have the urge to shut everything out and go to my "happy place". luckily i've learned to manage it enough to where it doesn't really affect me that much anymore

                                        I never noticed this thing with Aspergers until recently. It seems like there's a whole community of people with Aspergers or at least some symptoms thereof who wear it as a badge of honor--I've seen some people who try to go so far as suggesting that it's the next stage in human evolution. Because clearly, the next stage in human evolution will be something that makes it harder for you to understand and interact with other human beings.

                                        If I may make an analogy, it's like one strain of weed believing that because it contains more THC than another, it must somehow be the next step in the evolution of marijuana even though, in the wild, those same strains would go extinct because of their inability to survive in anything other than highly specific environments.

                                        Maybe this belongs in /r/trees

                                            Suddenly, half of my year group is dyslexic!

                                            As a person that actually has a few of the regular self-diagnosed mental problems, I die a little on the inside each time I see shitty self-diagnoses.

                                            "I like playing games all the time, but I still love being with people. But, because I spend a considerable amount of time at the computer, I must have aspergers." No, that's not aspergers, that's being a fucking idiot. I have autism-spectrum disorder, I can't fucking handle being around people for too long. I'll seriously have a mental breakdown if I'm forced to be social for too long. Come at me, self-diagnosed cunts.

                                              I know what you mean. I don't understand why so many people are eager to have asperger's or ADHD or consider it a point to be shown off but it ticks me off to no end!

                                              I think a lot of people think that having aspergers means you're justified in being socially awkward. And, if they think they're justified in being like that, they can whine about it while not doing anything about it.

                                                As long as you were diagnosed by a professional that has some degree in medicine then I have no quarrel with you. May I also add that I hope you are able to deal with it. I have seen what it can do when it's either not diagosed properly or at all. It does not look like fun.

                                                Oh, God, when people use self-diagnosed ADHD as a reason they aren't doing well in school... Nah, man, maybe it's all those parties and "DGAF-ing." Professionally diagnosed a few years ago with both ADHD AND mild Asperger's... I hate it. It seems to me unless you wish you DIDN'T have it, you don't really have it.

                                                        Someone posts something too personal, 4chan will do them the service of finding out their home address, phone number, etc and as much other information as they can (sometimes including social security number etc) and posting it publicly. This is called doxing, your dox = all of the information on you that is available through the internet.

Exif data from photos, licence plates in the background, using google maps to find a certain shop next to a certain other shop in the area, finding you or your friends on Facebook, an email address you might use which is linked to any other websites/accounts, time of day a timestamped photo is posted can tell you the timezone a person lives in, etc...

Regardless of whether its users think 4chan is the source of all things funny, they are preoccupied with 4chan, not themselves. Facebook and Reddit on the other hand, are obsessed with likes and upvotes. Twitter's preoccupation with self is quite obvious.

Even in sports, it helps in aggregating reports, rumours, signings, availability etc. Politically, I think Twitter has been quite powerful in mobilizing people, as seen in Arab Spring. There are a number of teens and celebrity following, but your tool is only as good as how you design it. I personally do not follow celebrities. I like instant access to news on my phone.

                                                                                    "Friending" someone doesn't have to be mutual, although the general understanding is that often (some) people you don't know will be reading what you write there. "Follower" and "following" is a much weaker relationship than "friend", so that feeling of "hey there's one thousand friends on my facebook account and I only talk to like three of them" doesn't really exist. I know not everyone has that problem, but some people do.

                                                                                    And lastly, it can be a customizable news feed of sorts. Following important people (specifically) or entire companies for updates on stuff.

                                                                                                [–]RapeSosage -1 points0 points ago

                                                                                                [–]Mitchel1497 3 points4 points ago

                                                                                                [–]WilliamKings 0 points1 point ago

                                                                                                4chan isn't a narcissist because of its anonymity. The self means nothing there.

                                                                                                Facebook don't have adhd because most people don't use it to mindlessly surf memes and random facts. The fact that you might, says more about your internet usage than facebook's purposes.

                                                                                                Reddit doesn't stalk because we're pussies. Oh, and we're so much smarter and sophisticated, and all that shit.
