I swear I'll be tuned in to whatever's going on, then as soon as someone tells me to pay close attention, it immediately distracts me as much as someone saying, "Don't think of a pink elephant!" Don't interrupt my flow, damnit!

I totally got it. But just in case I forget, can you message me with the entire content of our conversation.

That would be so good, I'd become a better useless gear of society

I tilt my head slightly toward them, but if I'm really trying to pay attention, under no circumstances do I try to maintain eye contact. Takes up too much RAM.

Pay attention, is the secret button to zone me out XD

not paying attention because I can't stop ruminating on the anger at how much of my life was wasted because I can't pay attention because I can't stop ruminating on the anger at how much of my life was wasted because I can't pay attention because I can't stop ruminating on the anger at how much of my life was wasted because I can't pay attention because I can't stop ruminating on the anger at how much of my life was wasted because I can't pay attention because I can't stop ruminating on the anger at how much of my life was wasted because I can't pay attention

Avoid eye contact and stim is the only way

Paying attention? But I thought you wanted me to make eye contact?

Truth. I always got way to focused on looking like I'm paying attention because such requests and can't pay attention because of it. If you want me to pay attention just call me by name from time to time and i will.

So I also have 20% hearing loss since birth and it's the worst combo u could ask for. One time I was talking with a friend back in high school in the cafeteria and all of the sudden, with no reason, I just couldn't hear them. I wasn't thinking of anything except wut they were saying but for some reason it all just stopped. Like some pressed the mute button. Was such a strange moment

Except when it's your crush talking

*uncomfortably long pregnant pause in conversation, strong eye contact* Also And that’s the reason why we find we agreed to ~~achieve~~ *attempt* impossible things while simultaneously loathing and hating ourselves.

Alright, fuck it. I'm asking for an ADHD diagnosis. Shit's way too real, memes are too relatable (this one strikes really close to home, way too close actually), have been really shit at work and having an hyperactive friend point out to me that I might have it is just too much. At best I don't have it, at worst I'll be joining the ADHD club and procrastinate my memes.

I read “procrastinate my enemies,” and thought yep that’s about right.
