    Obviously the real solution is never talking to anyone ever again, instead living as a hermit in remote mountains with your only friend being a bear that tries to eat you several times a year

      Everyone has some of the traits, but they don’t have ADHD unless it has enough negative impact to be a disorder.

        The problem being a lot of people with it might think the negative impact is a personal failing.

        Plus it raises the question of people who would otherwise be said to have it but have developed successful coping mechanisms independently, but what else are you going to do for something you can’t physically test for?

      Same. I was diagnosed with OCD decades ago but yet I seem to have these sorts of tendencies as well.

        @Spurton there’s a lot of overlap of symptoms between OCD and ADHD! Worth looking into but your psychiatrist can give you the official word, of course

    Ah yes, another self diagnosed ADHD trait. It’s just so quirky, amirite?!?

    I hate seeing so many people stating they have ADHD while they have just self diagnosed it without consulting any doctor. People actually having ADHD suffer from these kind of people because everyone thinks it’s funny, quirky and cool to have.

    Sorry for the rant, I took more time to write this then I wanted 😵‍💫
