Скачать или смотреть How ADHD Is MISUNDERSTOOD as 'Just Your Personality'

For a long time, you probably believed ADHD was just one of your “things.”
A personality quirk. A funny trait. Something mildly inconvenient that people could shrug off and say, “That’s just how you are.”

In this video, we unpack why ADHD is so often mislabeled as a personality trait — and how that misunderstanding quietly causes shame, burnout, and self-blame. From forgetfulness and time blindness to emotional overload and inconsistent motivation, this story explains why ADHD isn’t about character flaws, discipline, or effort. It’s about brain regulation.

You’ll learn:
Why ADHD gets mistaken for being “quirky,” chaotic, or careless
Why ADHD struggles are inconsistent — productive one day, stuck the next
How dopamine, not importance, drives motivation in ADHD brains
Why planners, routines, and apps don’t magically fix ADHD
Why rest doesn’t always feel restful
How emotional regulation and time blindness shape daily life
Why masking makes ADHD look like a personality instead of a neurological condition

This video is for anyone who has ever been told their ADHD was “just their personality,” or who learned to laugh off real struggles because humor felt safer than asking for help. It’s also for partners, friends, and family members who want to understand what’s actually happening beneath the surface.

ADHD is not about not caring.
It’s not laziness.
It’s not a lack of discipline.

It’s a brain that processes attention, motivation, emotion, and time differently — in a world that assumes everyone’s brain works the same way.

If this story feels familiar, you’re not broken. You’re not flaky. You’re not irresponsible. You’re navigating life with a brain that notices everything and struggles with filters, not effort.
