Now, again, the fun thing about this that I think is cool about what the OP was referencing in this Reddit thread is that

when we're thinking about mental health conditions or situations in life, they are, we often use the metaphor of like a house of cards, but I've never like literally seen a house of cards.

So maybe people don't all understand that metaphor.

But if you think about it, like, I don't know, a spider web,

When to dismantle a spider web or to rebuild a spider web in a way that we want it to be, right?

If we think about like a mental health condition, conditions, or like a series of life circumstances, you don't have to peel away every single thread of a spider web.

that's exhausting.

And I guarantee you, most of us would just give up.

Some of us are just like so devoted and dedicated.

And I love that for you.

And I'm so jealous.

And some of us are like, wow, I tried.

And I even gave it a really good try, but I can't do this.

And so we just give up.

Now, the cool thing about mental health conditions or life situations too, is that it's actually more, can I find one or two threads that if I break them, or if I pull just that one thread off, the whole web collapses.

Right.

And that, my friends, is much easier to do to gain momentum and change in your life.

And so while this poster probably meets criteria, I'm just let's just pretend.

Right.

This person might meet criteria for both social anxiety and ADHD.
