Not wanting or wanting to but failing?

Right haha...like, I WANTED to pay my bills and take care of speeding tickets, etc. I just failed miserably at those type of things for a long time.

ADHD brains crave novelty and mental stimulation. Random challenging quizzes are like crack to me, personally. Half of them I get bored with immediately and drop.

All brains crave novelty and mental stimulation.

I've met plenty of people who've never left their metro area in the 3 decades they've been alive.

On the other hand, when my girlfriend asks me what I would like to do, she has to qualify it with: "inside of this state." I have driven across multiple states on a whim a few times over the past couple years.

The degree to which people crave novelty varies greatly.

I think what you’re describing is a difference in degree not kind

ADHD is only a difference in degree not in kind. But that degree can still be significant enough to be crippling.

The difference between a forest fire and a camp fire is a difference in degree, not kind.

Not too often you see someone being glib and pedantic at the same time. ADHD is at least related to a dopamine deficiency and those affected generally self-sooth by seeking stimulation.

Next time, check if your dismissive one-liner makes a valid point.
