"A commitment tonight means I'm stuck in waiting mode all day" is false! Sometimes I get stuck in waiting mode the DAY BEFORE!

Glad he didn't mention my expansive collection of heavy duty cardboard boxes I've kept... for when I might need one.

[NorwegianGirlie]

Not me having 2 rewind 3 or 4 times because I was too busy thinking of the nuances of the previous example and missed the next step

[butterbeanqueen]

I feel so called out. 😂
And I have two full suitcases that I just put into my spare bedroom (hobby room) from a road trip where I did the windshield wiper thing. A lot. 🤣
No abandoned Etsy store but I think my abandoned flea market booth probably counts. 😬

"You're calm in a crisis but you get overwhelmed at the thought of sending an email". I feel this so much. I didn't realize that this was because of my ADHD.

[JRoseBooks]

Slow talkers are torture, because I can basically think an entire sentence in-between EVERY WORD. It takes an extreme amount of energy to focus on what they're saying and not think about something else. But then I'm focusing so hard, I can't actually remember what they said. :/

[lovetoplayharp]

I think I’d thought of the “vague sense of relief” AS the sense of accomplishment. 😂

[chamonix]

I shop for groceries.
When I get home it's an exciting unboxing event because I don't recall what I bought.

I have diagnosed ADHD, but do not meet 10 of these. #10 - No. You think I ever got around to setting up an Etsy store? 🤣 #8 - No. Unless I'm asleep, I already have all the lights on. Especially the older I get, I need it to see. Heck, I wear a headlamp most of the time when I'm working on a project so I can have even more light. #7 - Absolutely not. I am an auditory learner. I don't have the focus to be reading all the instructions, just tell me what to do. #5 - my reusable shopping bags live in my car, thank you very much. Sometimes I even remember to bring them into the store! #4 - it depends on what it is. Everyday chores, no. But I genuinely feel accomplishment sometimes. Especially if it was a new thing that I puzzled out how to do. Or something others were struggling to figure out and I was able to swoop in and save the day.

I have trouble just making myself do stuff that l KNOW has to be done. Like cleaning, paying bills 🙄, looking for a better job.
Don't really know why, but VERY frustrating & confusing 😕

[fionna_cool_girl]

"you're allergic to verbal instructions" I feel this within my bones! It's so hard for me to retain information if I don't write it down somewhere or if I'm learning a new skill, I have to do it as I'm being instructed. I recently did a crochet lesson with this really nice lady and she kinda didn't understand how I couldn't understand what she was saying if I wasn't doing it as she was telling me what to do. My dad will also get angry at me for not remembering what he just told me but it's just hard for me to remember and I don't understand why.

Everything except the calling people... Even if I WANT to talk to someone, it's like pulling teeth getting myself to make a phone call. 😣

12/12 plus a previous clip I watched about how to organize the closet by taking everything out and then going on permanent break .

[TanyaColeman-knsp]

The 'stuck in waiting mode' is SO real. I even work backwards from the starting time of the event, see what needs doing, when.

[Mintaka.]

Keeping the bags is very smart and environmentally friendly.

[KnitVenturous]

Ok the wind shield wiper got me, I thought I was the only one. But even on low those often go WAY TOO FAST

[EnolaElorie]

Ha!! I don't have an abandoned Etsy store!! (Not because I never thought about it, but because imposter syndrome didn't let me set it up, since "my stuff is not good enough anyways".) :'D

[ryfr]

I think we should add “or you do feel a sense of accomplishment but this is immediately rebuffed by another part of your brain who insists that yeah well, you should have ‘just’ done it sooner+/better”

[SandraLeeSchubert]

I may or may not have a supply of shoelaces that I’ve kept from sneakers I have thrown out. 😅

[pokerface]

Yeah, it was a spot on! I’m allergic to verbal instructions.
