Mmm. Thank you. Much better and not running in a weird integrated browser tab.

I do this. I always thought the dopamine and distraction reasons made sense.

But someone I know who was diagnosed Not ADHD by one psychologist also does this extensively.

Grains of salt.

🤣😂🤣🤣😂 nice.

Could be that everyone identifies with the same things that the group you’re referring to experiences. But that group often has it much worse than most people. Or that the vocal minority of that group misrepresents the hole.

What you see as “basically normal” is after they are medicated. Isn’t that the point of the medication? Maybe go look at someone who stops taking it for an experiment.

Mm, I agree. It’s not that interesting until someone has verified it.

thank you thank you. will try some more things.

This lines up with my experience more. I never identified well with “you need help focusing, this medication does that and that’s why it helps you”. I have always been able to sit for half a dozen hours on an interesting thing and completely forget to eat or think about anything else. So it doesn’t make much sense to me that I have a focusing issue. I had been explaining my medication as “it takes the minimum level of reward the thing has to provide me for me to continue doing it, and drops it into the floor. So now everything is so rewarding that it doesn’t matter what it is, I can focus like I did with only a few things before”.
