“But let us be honest: not everyone wants smooth, open conversations. Comfort is boring. Innovation is confusing. If you long to make your workplace as awkward and unsettling as a naturist pool party in Tehran, I have a simple list of instructions for you.

How to demolish your team or organisation in three simple steps:

Step One: Lack of Trust Use stereotypes like parmesan on spaghetti. Being curious about people makes them feel seen. Avoid at all costs. You know who they are. You can infer it from skin color, clothes, gender…”

You can find the rest of the instructions in my newsletter.

When you post a bit more often on LinkedIn, this is what you might see. It always amuses me when someone calls you the “most” anything without showing the metrics.
Meta has it own methods too, ofcourse.

The architecture of this message is:
• Ego boost: You are “one of the most-viewed profiles.” You are seen and valued.

• Exclusivity: You are in a select group… allegedly. No clue who your “peers” are or who is actually looking. Makes you want to protect or enhance that special status.

• Call to action: Right after the flattery, you are nudged to “add verification,” just when you are feeling good.

• Implied popularity: Supposedly, lots of people are looking at you. You are popular, in demand. Not classic “social proof,” but it plays on your sense of being noticed.

• Opaque criteria: No one tells you what “most-viewed” actually means, by whom, where, or how many people we are talking about.

ADHD is not always a solo act, think again. Many of us collect comorbidities like others collect fridge magnets:

• Depression? 30–63% of adults with ADHD get that badge (higher for women).
• Anxiety? About 47%, but some studies say up to 73%. (Again… women mostly)
• PTSD or Complex PTSD? Anywhere from 10% to 36%. Nearly 1 in 4 women with ADHD ticks that box too.

Having all three? Congratulations, you win… a messier journey to getting the right support.

And here’s the plot twist:

Not every professional is an ADHD expert.
I’ve seen way too many
therapists, doctors, even teachers
who think they get it, but actually end up being punitive or just missing the point entirely.

So, double-check those credentials, and make sure you feel safe.

You deserve a proper (differential) -diagnosis and support that actually fits your brain not someone’s assumptions.
