This really resonates with me. Not to be annoying but I think that the people challenging you in your replies haven’t experienced this as a consistent and problematic pattern in their life in the way that many people with severe ADHD have. It’s a very specific, almost obsessive behavior, and it’s less romantic than they’d like to imagine when observed as a habit.

Indeed. And someone accused me of being hostile and thought my initial comment was me making a mean joke:

> This reads like someone with ADHD took Adderall and accidentally focused hard for a day on the wrong thing. It has happened to me.

It is very far away from being a joke.
