    Best part it when you think you know where people are going, tune out and then realize you were wrong.

    Also like this when it’s someone using wayyyy too many words to describe something they want done. Conversational blueballs when someone asks me, for (exaggerated) example, to take out the trash by saying “hey so you know we have these bins in our house that hold trash and that’s where we put all the trash and the trash eventually piles up and we have to do this weekly ritual where we take the trash and put it into bags and move it to the bins outside so that someone can come collect it and then we can put more trash in the bags so what I’m really trying to say is can you open the door and go grab the trash bins because that’s how you take out the trash right you just grab the trash and walk it outside and put it—“

    PLEASE stop talking you could have just said “can you take the trash out?”

      Yeah, that’s what I hate the most I guess.

      Or even worse when they ask “do you know this”, you say “yes”, and they tell it anyways with every little unnecessary detail, like you said “no I never heard of that please tell me everything about it”.

        To be fair the amount of times I ask someone if they understand and then I explain it just for them to have no idea what I’m talking about.

        Basically I do it to make sure you actually understand and aren’t just saying you do

      No. ADHD is when there is an ad in a video and it plays in hd resolution despite the video being in different but usually lower quality.

      Something I try to convey to people is that ADHD is like a collective bucket of things. So you might have some symptoms but not all, while others can be categorized as ADHD and have completely different symptoms and experiences.

      A lot of people will try to downplay ADHD with nonsense platitudes like “oh everyone deals with that” or “ADHD doesn’t exist”, etc. The reality is that it’s completely nuanced and categorizing things (or yourself) as ADHD is a way to simplify explaining it, open the lines of conversation and self-discovery, and add some detail to something that can be chaotic.

      ADHD is not like an illness where everyone has the same symptoms, thus it can’t be painted out with broad brush strokes. It’s still being sorted out and a person’s experiences, life, and other factors play a huge role.

      Everyone experiences the things in these memes sometimes. If you experience them often enough, and in tandem with several others, to the point that it inhibits your normal daily life then it might be an ADHD thing.

      Nah, people on the Internet overuse “ADHD” and “autism” and “obsessive compulsive”. Most of this stuff isn’t backed up by anything.

    Hmm, in the meantime ADD me is more like: “wait, did I hear somebody talk to me? Yes, I heard words, but they made no sense. Better ask them to repeat themselves.” Only for everything they said to suddenly click the moment they start to reiterate the first word of what they said. Slow word-processing is so annoying.

    If I don’t say something while it’s there in my brain I’m likely to forget it by the time it’s my turn to talk, as my mind has already moved on to other things.

    This is me! Is this not true for everyone? I always found it weird how we just have to stay there for many seconds, pretending not to know what one is about to say…

    I can and will do a 10 minute plank. I will NOT listen to 2 additional seconds of my mom searching for a word.

    (this has become a minor point of contention between us ajd I am unsure how to resolve it)
