    It’s complicated. Many ADHD traits are common in normies as well but usually to a lesser extent.

    “Haha, we all forget things from time to time, anon”
    Yes, well, some of us lose things literally every day, are literally incapable of paying bills on time, regularly don’t remember to eat or drink water thoughout the day, etc
    (This is a small selection of the many issues ADHDers have)

    Another example is this meme itself.
    Everyone does some people pleasing here and there yet in my life people pleasing has serious effects on my personal relationships and I’m having to learn to deal with this.
    “Mac, it’s not that we dont care and dont want to please them, i know. It’s that we arent going to please them at the expense of ourself, right?” Yes, brain… 😩

    If you feel that ADHD traits are actively having a negative effect on your life and causing you struggles then it might be worth getting checked out.
