A Response to Jacob Kaplan-Moss’s “Incompetent but Nice”
ADHD is probably the problem under this behaviour.Can’t complete tasks and underperform but want to help other, be part of the team.
People with ADHD have developed coping behaviour to fit in but have very low control on their executive functions, they can’t keep working on something that doesn’t catch their attention. It’s very hard to understand for someone who don’t have the problem "why can’t they just do it!"When the job is new, the team is new it’s all very interesting but as routine and boredom set in the get unable to stay on the task.
They hate themselves for not doing what they should do and want to do the right thing but are unable.
It’s very stressful and often lead to burnout.Medication help, so is meditation, omega-3, better/more sleep, exercice and jobs that have movement and a lot of change and creativity.
