I don't think it's a bad thing to acknowledge that I might be working from a disadvantage because neurotransmitters are out of balance. I don't lack desire to do things, I lack motivation to do them and/or the sheer force to overcome the physical weight of the moment. So I prefer to address that first.

I was using disadvantaged loosely, not in the sense that folks who aren't raised in privilege are disadvantaged.

But what I can observe is other people sharing experiences that I resonate with and hearing them say, "Yes I also found this hard to do because I was just tired"

How can you know if you are disadvantaged if you have only experienced being yourself?

I appreciate that you're trying to promote perspective as an important tool, and I agree that it's useful.

It's hard not to read it as "you're only struggling because you've labeled yourself as a person who struggles", which I think is broadly dismissive. So I disagree there and that's okay.

I can’t speak on your experience, but I know every person alive feels disadvantaged and like things are harder for them. I also know believing you are disadvantaged is one of the biggest disadvantages you can have.
