Is this a AHDH thing? I thought everbody did this.

That’s one way of looking at this if your mindset is negativity.
I prefer to exercise positive intent and I see this as possibly someone with ADHD not knowing whether this particular trait is their ADHD or just a thing.
I have ADHD and I am often like this, it makes you question your identity, especially if diagnosed later in life like me.
Sure many ADHD traits are occasionally experience by non-neurodivergent people, but that doesn’t mean they don’t affect ADHD people in a debilitating way.
It’s like heart palpations can be a sign of a heart attack or a panic attack.
Exactly.
Sure many ADHD traits are occasionally experience by non-neurodivergent people,
They key is “occasionally” - for someone with ADHD these traits are pretty much constant, never go away. Medication and practice may reduce their impact, and you may find ways to mitigate/compensate, but the underlying trait is always there, waiting for you to become complacent.
A neurotypical person rarely understands how much effort is put in just for something mundane.
Wait, are you saying that reconciling my checking account while two unrelated trains of thought (accompanied by a random song) run through my head is not something that everyone deals with?\s
I was just posting about this in the last day or two, but my ADHD brain also likes to keep music or a conversation going in my head. And I always sought out talk to listen to, like podcasts. But I have found that the right sort of music is a great tool to help occupy the ADHD brain and let my conscious executive functions like, do stuff.
Fuck off
No I don’t think I will.
The fuck are you?! You either put across a point as to why you object to my comment or you go eat a bag of dicks.
I do not have ADHD.
I do not do this.
I keep everything open as live tabs.
I also do not have ADHD and do not do this, much.
I keep tabs open until I’m done with them or am setting those ideas aside. I’ll keep them around longer if it was hard for me to find, otherwise I trust that I’ll be able to find the information again. I can’t actually remember the last time I bookmarked a website, although with how shitty search engines are becoming, I might start doing that again to avoid having to slog through AI shit sites to find a site again.
I’ve seen a trend in the last couple weeks where normal behaviors keep getting attributed to ADHD for no reason in these memes
This is my second time bookmarking this meme.
…I can’t find the first.
I don’t think I have ADHD but this is basically the summary of my life
Half the things people call “ADHD problems” is just perfectly normal human behaviour
yeahhhhhhh as a counselor with ADHD it is a major pet peeve of mine reading just about anything ADHD-related on social media
When I read something and lose my place 💁
This is basigally the summary of my life and now I think Ido have ADHD
this isn’t really a primary feature of ADHD. i guess one could argue it’s a secondary effect
Anyone else keep those screenshots they accidentally take of their home screen because they know they’ll drunkenly accidentally delete an icon on their home screen and have no idea what icon is missing because they never use it but they e grown accustomed to it and want it back the way it was?
Just me?
I rearrange my icons all the time thinking “no this will be more efficient” and I just never really know where everything is.
Chaos.
That feeling of I know there used to be a specific app where this empty space is but I can’t remeber which one has driven me crazy a few times, now a days I just lock the home screen so it can’t be accidentally changed
I have never drunkenly deleted an icon … So, no
Nope, I don’t use the home screen - it’s such a terrible idea.
I use folders on every device*, using the same structure, that way all software/tools are categorized the same though they’re different on each OS.
*Except iOS because it sucks from a customization standpoint.
Gross.
For PC I use my launchers. For phone I have ~12 apps plus a weather widget on on screen, then device diagnostics and a Spotify widget on the next.
My whole “apps” folder on android, however, is 8 folders (Google, Games, Utilities, Info, Market, etc)
Minimizes interaction for most used apps. Your process would require two taps to use your most used apps. 🤢
Probably about 50% of the recipe pages that I have bookmarked aren’t even online any more.
I’m in this pic and I hate it. I would have like 20 albums written if I would just sit down and turn the clever concept/title and couple of stanzas into an actual fucking song. Instead what I do is open GDrive and get paralyzed at the sight of the burgeoning directory structure and immediately log off, if I even get that far.
Could you stop calling me out pls?
I have 1192 tabs open in my mobile browser. I hope, I read all those articles in this lifetime.
Before, I was able to read so much. I finished Count of Montecristo in 10 days. Nowadays, I can’t even read more than 3 pages a day.
Pinterest. My boards are full of diy project ideas and recipes that I will never look at again, but I keep clicking and saving.
If and when you get around to looking at it, you’ll love everything you see. A mood hack I discovered is to look at saved posts in a random order, because I forget about everything, so it’s like a perfectly curated feed.
You might want to consider a one-in-one-out policy.
I hope I put the right tags or keywords in the thing that I save cause that’s the only way I’m ever finding it again
I’ve got 19,347 links saved in my current Read Later app. How often do I actually open it to get back to something? At most once a month for one thing, usually less.
which app?
I’d recommend you to start cleaning it up, I used to let these lists grow until one day I decided to clean them up, sadly a lot of the links got expired or the companies running those websites got shut down 😞
I’ve started browsing my bookmarks instead of browsing sociao media for this reason
And loose that ebaumsworld video!?
I’ve hit the limit on safari tabs on my phone multiple times. When you open something in a new tab at that point, it just cannibalizes a tab you haven’t visited recently, but you can use the back button to find out what it was.
I don’t have ADHD but this is 100 % me 😁
Sometimes I’m even relieved when my browser crashes and all open tabs are lost 💀
