    You know, the way inattentive ADHD is described here fits me incredibly well. I was recently diagnosed with it and this actually helps my understand my condition a lot better. I distinctly remember talking to my friends about some weird textures in a room in FF14 and they were just astounded that I even noticed it, now I know why lol

      I do this shit all the time. When I’m watching movies, I’ll notice inconsistencies or little mistakes in production, I’ll hear sound bytes that have been used across media. Like, I noticed just yesterday that Memoirs of a Geisha (movie) uses the same seagull soundbyte as the start of the SpongeBob opening song. And I was just sitting on my phone, not paying attention.

      I’m definitely a mix of both, because I have some impulsive tendencies with big, exciting decisions. And stuff like this is helping to convince me that I may need to see a doctor about it for some help managing it.

        Yeah I will impulsively pick up hobbies and buy into them as well. I’m not sure how much a doctor could help with that sort of behavior tho? That seems more like something you’d want a therapist to help with.
