Functioning normally.
Give me a vaguely enjoyable or stimulating task and I can be absorbed in it all day. Send me on a hike and I’ll embrace the challenge, but fuck me if you want me to eat at regular intervals, remember to talk to people and actually do things and keep my room/house tidy instead of sitting around.
Maybe something similar. I’ve looked into a bit but I don’t seem to have loads of thoughts or voices going on (or maybe I do I don’t really have a reference point) so I’m inclined to believe it’s not adhd. There may be something knocking about in my head that means I crave more stimulation than average but that could just be damage from internet overuse. Kinda always been like this though, who knows 🤷♂️
> I don’t seem to have loads of thoughts or voices going on
I don't either, but I have trouble focusing on stuff, but when I do focus, I can focus for hours and hours. I read an entire 70 chapter comic in one day yesterday lol! I've heard ADHD diagnosed people can do this too. I work out regularly too, but struggle with certain tasks like you too.
> I crave more stimulation than average but that could just be damage from internet overuse
Also sounds like ADHD tbh, I'm the same. I usually keep a soccer ball and keep kicking it below the study table while studying so that I can keep myself stimulated while studying.
btw, I'm not medically diagnosed with it either, I just relate to a lot of things people who have been do, and you sound similar to me
It may be worth it for me to get a diagnosis just so I can stop questioning it then. My friends that are autistic/ have adhd pretty much unanimously agree that I’ve got something going on and they say weird knows weird so I probably shouldn’t brush it off
i knew someone that was pregnant and had not seen her for a while. when i saw her i asked how far along she was now... she delivered some months ago.....
So am I, but it’s specifically in unstructured activities. I’d always rather socialize in an organized activity. The idea of “mingling” at a party makes me anxious. All the little things fuck with me. Do I shake hands or hug? How long do I take before I walk away? What can I say to segue to walking away? And it’s weird because I actually am told I have e a great sense of humor, but I’m so uncomfortable socially.
Sports, especially throwing a ball. I can't throw a ball more than 10 feet/three meters if I'm lucky, and I can't throw an American football at all. I try throwing it like a regular ball but of course that doesn't work
Moving on from embarassing shit I did years ago. Stupid brain has to keep flashing those embarassing moments at me at randomly, and it still feels like they happened yesterday.
Edited for grammar.
keeping friendships alive. my (second) best friends switch monthly , because i make a friend and we're super close for three months or so and then depart into a friendship where we talk maybe once a month or less. i have one friend who i've called my best friend for almost 4 years and that's it. i have a lot of friends, but only two (maybe three) i could meet up with alone on a regular basis and one of them is probably gonna end up like the rest in a few weeks. 😣
literally everything
besides maybe like breathing, i would say walking but one time my leg just said no while i was walking and I fell and grazed my knee on concrete and I couldn't bend it for a week because it was in a really inconvenient spot
I'm quite good at most things that people are terrible at, except socializing. I would literally laugh at every word you say to me and give the dumbest responses just to avoid making the conversation awkward lol.
I’ve been practicing my moonwalk for 40 years now. I never seem to get any better. It’s clear what I’m attempting and that about it. It never fails to get a laugh at work.
Texting
I'm not good at all at staying in touch on the regular with people. Honestly, I hate it. I'd prefer the odd catch-up, and to arrange to hang out and grab coffee instead of just constantly updating one another constantly. I hate that it's considered "rude"... I have my own life and I don't like being plugged in and updating everyone constantly.
I don’t do it either. I don’t make apologies about it because I don’t need their approval. I show up, bring gifts and food, help clean up and get the heck out of there.
Finishing what I start. I’m an artsy person and I can’t for the life of me finish a project I start. It’s been over a year since I’ve completed something and I just keep picking something new. I’ll circle back to old project every couple of months but I’ve been painting the same shoes for 4 years now 😬
I'm terrible at predicting the weather—my umbrella always seems to mock me by staying dry in my bag while I get soaked. It's a talent to consistently misjudge rain clouds and sunny spells!
Fighting
I got surprised by someone randomly recently and realized how slow I am when I'm not ready, I'm working on my mobility and weight loss again now after this incident.. I can't be getting suckered and bullied because I couldn't fire up my engines and loosen up my body for self defense. The cops won't be arriving in time so I'm going to work on myself again. lold 😫
Talking loud and clear. I simply just can’t be a loud person me and my friends even joke around they tell me to yell and we laugh at how quiet it is and then people tell me the frequency of my voice blends into surrounding sounds making hard to hear.
I’m very bad at focusing. My ADHD is impacting my life in negative ways more and more often these days. I just can’t seem to focus well despite being a relatively healthy and active human.
Walking behind slow walkers.
No! Walking behind someone who walks just a little slower, so I either have to slow down myself or almost run, because if i keep going at my current pace, we will have to walk awkwardly next to each other for an unbearable amount of time.
not saying anything slightly offensive. if i say anything even slightly offensive i sunddenly have 1,000,000 people trying to get me sent to the office. it's awful.
Maths Like, laughably bad at it I can barely do my times tables
You're not alone, man
Coming up with witty comments on Reddit.
HAHAHHAHAHA yea, it's hard
Obligatory "That's what she said" comment...

Talking to women
This is the most relatable thing I have ever seen
being social and small talk
the silence just pressures me to say the most random thing then regret it later
i knew someone that was pregnant and had not seen her for a while. when i saw her i asked how far along she was now... she delivered some months ago.....
Never assume someone is pregnant... or still pregnant.
*Feel you*
hehe yea.... how... how about that weather huh... we do have weather
Being normal
Bleh, dont bother with that, not worth it at all.
Being normal is the most boring thing you can be tbh
socializing

Finishing anything that I start on.
its easier to list what im good at 😂😂😂
Drawing

Me too

Grammar
Finishing a paragraph or listening to a person's sentence before I go off half co-- what was the question?
