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

    Dammit, every time I read one of these ADHD posts I’m like, that personality trait of mine I’ve had since childhood is ADHD too? I’m too old for this shit. If they could just drop the H I could accept it but I’m lazy af. I’ll just wait a few more months and let them decide I have Alzheimer’s instead.

      Hyperactivity in adults is often masked or internalized. If you keep yourself tapping a rythm, bouncing your leg or repeating some tune in your head over and over you might just qualify for further diagnosis.

    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?”
