The Over-Promisers Club: Now Accepting Zero Results 🧠

Some people love volunteering for things that don’t even need volunteers.
ADHD people especially — bless them 🫶 — will raise their hand before the question’s even finished.
✨ “Oh! I can help with that!”
Sure you can.
Until reality shows up with a to-do list… and poof! they’ve evaporated into the fog of “oops, forgot.”
It’s not malice — it’s momentum.⚡
The “yes” flies out faster than the brain can even file a project plan. Then guilt rolls in like a storm cloud ⛈️ and the classic ADHD loop begins:
over-promise under-deliver promise again to make up for it boom — you’ve just built a tower of chaos out of good intentions.
They don’t mean harm. They just want to be useful, to sparkle , to matter .
But halfway through, the dopamine walks out — and so does the project.
If you’ve ever met one of these people, you already know.
They’ll offer to fix your website 💻, start a charity 🌍, design a logo 🎨, build a space station 🚀 — all before breakfast — and deliver precisely none of it by dinner (ever).❌
And when you finally dare to hold them accountable, the magic phrase appears:
“Oh well, I have ADHD.”
Is it a reason — or an excuse? Hard to tell sometimes.🤔
Because right after that, they’re off again — starting another “life-changing” project with grand plans and cosmic dreams that never make it past the Pinterest board 📌 — or honestly, not even that far. Just a shiny vision orbiting inside their head , collecting dust next to last week’s half-baked ideas.
It’s not laziness. It’s enthusiasm with no brakes.🏎️💨
ADHD edition: promises made, deadlines slayed, outcomes delayed.🕰️💀
