Because we already know.

That'd be the (likely) trauma talkin' in your head too. Trauma is fun!

@Heather 👻 Nah. It’s the DMN. Doesn’t need to be traumatised to do that. It just does it.

@Heather 👻 My therapist spent years trying to resolve my trauma at the root of my negative self image through talking about it and then interrogating me about my emotions.

Two problems:

  1. I don’t need trauma to hate myself. Neurological disregulation does it all by itself.
  2. 90% of the time I do not experience emotions.

Rare is the ADHDer who doesn't have some form of trauma though.

@Heather 👻 Sure. I've got shit tonnes.

But I'd likely still think I was an arsehole without it.

I think there are healthy and unhealthy sources of dopamine, varied in degree and with who you are.

Heroin is mostly-bad but part-good, Reddit is all-bad.
