Weaponized incompetence and other ADHD “crimes” (Reddit Reactions)
Manage episode 522244211 series 3581353
We’re back with another spicy Reddit Reactions episode!
This week, we dive into two wildly relatable ADHD relationship posts: one about a partner claiming “you lost your sparkle” (eye roll), and another spiraling over chores, shame, and new-job burnout. We unpack toxic dynamics, people-pleasing, clutter blindness, and why you’re not weaponizing incompetence.

- Listen: ADHD, cheating, and weaponized incompetence
