I really don’t understand; I write words, I link studies, and I carefully word my arguments, then when you reply it’s like you’re replying to someone else completely. I mean, great job fighting that scarecrow and all, but I’m over here. No one is making the arguments you’re attacking. Like, do you legitimately believe that it’s my personal belief that people with ADHD have perfect resistance to addiction to stimulant medication? It really seems like you think I believe that and I have no idea how you could read what I’ve written above, where I’m even directly contradicting that position at times, and think I believe that. Like, what the fuck is your deal? Legitimately, I’m bewildered as to how we got here.
Also, why are you being such an abrasive asshole? You’ve been a dick to just about everyone in this thread. Like, seriously, what’s going on? I post links to studies on the topic and your reply starts with accusational condescension? Who does that?
That’s the thing, I even checked their post history to see if they’re just some kinda troll or whatever, and it really doesn’t appear to be the case. They can be reasonable and normal, sometimes even funny. I don’t understand why this particular subject seems to set them off and get irrational.
But yeah, looking at their comments just on this post, they seem like a troll. Like, I’m really trying to not be that guy, but it really does seem like their reading comprehension here is wildly inadequate. And I can also tell that Dunning-Krueger is running wild since they’re very confident for pretty obviously having a sophomoric understanding of the subject. I just don’t understand how people can have such strong opinions on something with such a poor understanding of the subject.
Because I’m annoyed as fuck. There really all I said was that medication is addictive to people with ADHD just as it is addictive to people who do not have ADHD and a whole train of Internet psychiatrists started jumping in trying to argue about it.
The bulk of your first paragraph is ironic when that’s exactly what you did. I said addictive medications are addictive to everyone regardless, you jumped in trying to fucking debate that. I’m done. My only replied to this shit from this point on is being done through the block button. Goodbye now.
that medication is addictive to people with ADHD just as it is addictive to people who do not have ADHD
Because that statement is objectively incorrect. If it was addictive in the same way to ADHD as people without ADHD, then it wouldn’t be allowed to be prescribed. The possible negative total outcomes wouldn’t justify the treatment.
I said addictive medications are addictive to everyone regardless
No, your first claim was that addictive medications were addictive in the same way. Which is incorrect. If you had said “regardless if you have ADHD or not there is still potential for addiction”. Then people wouldn’t be arguing with you.
The majority of the issue is that you keep fighting strawman arguments in your rebuttals and not what people are actually claiming is incorrect about your initial statement.

i think it’s safe to conclude that they’re just a troll
