Since I've been able to reduce it, I've realized my shame has been far more debilitating than my disabilities ever were.
@addimartin
why is this my comfort channel
@misssugarpink6357
your channel is literally saving my life.
@makingitthrough190
I can hardly stand to hear the word: goal. It’s so emotional as it just reminds me of so many things I have dreamed of doing and failed. (Even though I do accomplish some pretty cool and creative stuff at times.)
@Michelle-by9fp
Also, this describes me completely. A million goals, and feeling like a failure for not progressing on any of them.
@journeyofawesome8473
Yeah. I planned to participate in the 90 challenge on guitar. I built a chair instead. At least something got done, I guess.

I love how you mix comedy and learning together for people with ADHD

"-which might be why we often find it easier to accomplish things we don't intend to accomplish" this hit hard, how was i not aware of this...
@mjolnirforsworn
28 year old Ph.D. M.E. student here. After being the smart kid who got good grades but never paid attention, was very emotionally troubled, dropped out of school several times, suffered from rejection sensitivity.... I finally got diagnosed last year. It made so much sense. Youre a beautiful brain and a wonderful heart! Thank you for your channel. You've changed my life!!!

The beginning is such a huge mood. I wanted to get a cross-stitch project done for my friend for a gift, but then my sister got me a knitting book for Christmas so I need to learn to knit now, and then I'm going to Paris in 2022 so I need to start learning French, and I should brush up more on Spanish, and ASL and I'd like to learn to draw, and write more often, and get good grades this term in school, and get my credit card debt down and, and, and... That worksheet looks like it'd be super helpful to me though. I tried to set little weekly goals for me but I still struggle with setting goals that are attainable and also actually getting started on them.
@papette27
I cried when she asked about the paper how good it should be. I never ask myself that question. It is a given that it should be the best I can make it. I am crying my eyes out atm
@LudmilaT.
"It might make more sense to focus on putting systems in place to support what we want to accomplish than to set goals." My goal is putting those systems in place 😭

if it werent for the fellow brains i would be broken
@InsightfulZen
This is the first time coming across this channel. I cried while watching this video. I've been struggling for so long on my own, thinking I was broken, I was irreparably flawed, I was a failure and doomed to always be a loser, because I haven't found success in life despite blood sweat and tears, lots and lots of tears. I've been coming to the realization I have ADD, undiagnosed until adulthood, and it's hard, but also nice to hear that other people have had similar struggles and find their way to being successful with their goals in life. I'm so terrified that I won't succeed even after listening to these tips, so terrified. But thank you for showing it can be done. I don't want to live how I currently am anymore, but I've been so exhausted at failing that hope has been lost for a while, and I've been running inefficiently on fumes. Thank you for putting a little gas in my tank, I'll try to keep going.
@Tim3.14
I haven't been this early since... The last time I was procrastining on my goals by repeatedly checking my YouTube notifications 😊
@losiento2
Am I the only one distracted by Alan’s disappearing head?
@ohmainzte
29, just got diagnosed. Relieved to know there's a reason I've struggled so much in life, but bummed by the confirmation that I indeed have a harder time with everything.
@talilaperry3259
I found that shame is one of my greatest barriers to getting my most important things done, at the core of my perfectionism, procrastination, and imposter syndrome. I have found Brene Brown's books on the topic extremely helpful. Everyone experiences shame that keeps them from doing things they want or need to do, but I think we have quite a lot of it as our minds function differently and we have a harder time getting things done, which makes the shame worse and so on.. Tackling shame head on has been very helpful.

Outsourcing is a game changer. The most successful entrepreneurs have mastered the art of surrounding themselves with others who compensate their weaknesses.
