Wow, people are so extreme on the Internet. One comment saying maybe take a step back and we're already at "fucking stupid".
This comic is relevant to general human experience and ADHD, both are true and valid. The comic didn't tell people to self diagnose and no one here has told anyone to self diagnose.
I don't really find it infuriating and I don't think that makes me part of a problem. Self diagnosis can sometimes trivialize the people actually suffering from the problem, and there van be real harm there. So I definitely agree with you to some extent. But some people are so hungry for community that self diagnosing some problem like ADHD makes them part of something else. That's sad to me, but not infuriating.
I do understand that mislabeling normal things as a mental health issue can be problematic. I wish you didn't assume I thought otherwise from our small exchange. My point of responding was that I find it really annoying when people say "well everyone does or feels X so there's nothing wrong with you". I think that also does a lot of damage to people.
I'd say that the person on display in the comic doesn't seem to be showing "normal" or "healthy" procrastination to me, but there is room for disagreement I guess.
