My music varies. Sometimes it’s music I’ve heard recently on loop, sometimes it’s music my brain came up with, but a lot of times it’s in the background. At times I don’t even notice the music is there until I realize I’ve been playing the King George songs from Hamilton on a loop for a couple of weeks. Either that or I’ll start focusing in on something external and start humming what’s in my head without realizing it. Right now, it’s Foxy Brown’s “Oh Lord” on muddled repeat. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

The internet definition, yes. Because you’ll get a bunch of people who are diagnosed who think that since they have ADHD, everything they do is a symptom so they’ll spread some things that’s just basic human nature.

In the real world, it’s defined just right. The problem there is that people will ignore the “interfering with daily activities/life” part. Sure, everyone is distracted or hyperfocused sometimes, but for us it’s more of a constant issue that we have to find ways to get around to function in society. Or people will look at something like executive dysfunction and think “yeah, sometimes I don’t want to <insert name of task no one wants to do>” because they can’t comprehend the hell of having to force yourself to do the things you love.

I liken it to someone saying “I’m so OCD” just because they put their pens in a desk drawer. No man, OCD wrecks people. You’ve just finally decided to be slightly neat.
