"weaponized incompetence" is about falsified incompetence being intentionally weaponized. it is not accidental behavior, it is not being unable to function in the ways that would make you "competent." it is toxic because of its nature as a consciously manipulative behavior and how it is often a tool of the patriarchy. comparing it to anything else is cruel. executive dysfunction and disabilities are not examples of weaponized incompetence.

a person knows when they are weaponizing incompetence. please, please take care and be kind to yourself if you worry that you may be doing it accidentally- that is not weaponized incompetence, and i'm sorry to anyone who has ever felt anxious about that. you deserve better. we deserve better. being disabled is not a moral failure or manipulative behavior.

realizing you're experiencing deluded thinking and trying to reality check yourself is so goddamn funny in a way that isn't funny in the slightest when you're experiencing it because every attempt to placate yourself is met with "but what if that's what they want you to think" okay who is they first of all

it's always some shit regarding diseases too like "i shouldn't believe myself when say i didn't eat anything contaminated because big spongiform encephalopathy is trying to hide from me that i contracted a prion disease" like are you really having this conversation with me right now

ill be unstoppable once I finally heal this gaping wound

i’m really sorry about my behavior. you see, growing up, my family- *remembers blaming all my problems on other people is really annoying and unhealthy* i mean. i am responsible for all the evils of this world and i bear sins like the sky bears the stars

those days where your entire train of thought is just “I CAN’T FUCKING DO THIS I CAN’T DO THIS I’M NOT GONNA MAKE IT PLEASE HELP ME” and whole time ur just like. sitting at your desk completely fine
