i can’t be the only one who sits down and talks to themself like “okay i’m going to get all of my homework done for once” and the second they read the first sentence it reminds of them of something on youtube and before you realize it your watching indians build temples at 3am
Totally normal for people to relate to some of these from time to time. An ADHD person experiences most of these on a daily basis without fail. This video is upbeat but living with ADHD isn't a walk in the park but with a few quirky differences. when your brain bombards you with 100 thoughts at once, all day, all night... and it's like that every single day, it becomes extremely stressful and leads to pretty bad anxiety as well. My brain doesn't shut off, ever. It plays a role in everything, I'm 30 years old and my whole life I tried to pretend I didn't need help... and that I could do this all on my own, well here I am finally seeking help. This video was awesome btw I don't know how im barely seeing this now. I use to watch Ryan every day.
I'm in the process of seeking help as well, but the only time I can feel like my brain doesn't have 1000 other thoughts is when I'm exhausted and want to sleep, it kind of feels like they're not as distracting so I just pass out. If I was trying to fall asleep while not really tired, it would be a difrent story. I'm still figuring things out, so I'm not sure if this is relatable, but that's how it is for me.
@@BunnyEZ Yes, especially at the time of sleep when I'm not tired I can not sleep easily. There are a lot of thoughts that could easily keep me awake for another 1-2 hours and when I become tired of continuous mind chatter I fell asleep.
Mt dad just said it was bad parenting and he's probably right. And if he is then how dare he raise me that way 😤. Not kidding it affects my life a lot.
I could remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with ADHD. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
@@ixalaz4536 (this isnt really me but i just wanna join in so-) me: trying to convince myself that I am not trying to convince myself that I’m not trying to convince myself that I'm not trying to convince myself I have adhd
nonstop distracted. its a damn challenge to concentrate on one thing, like a memory, only for u to be drawn away to nothing. its like a cloud. a cloud of nothing always getting in the way
oh wait...i think i do have adhd because my mom always blames me for being forgetful yet she tells people that i am conpletly distractful and i have my own world
This video really was so far ahead of its time compared to the awareness of adhd that we have now. I love this, thank you for being a part of my childhood I can revisit.
Do y’all ever start working on something and 90% of the “working” time you’re giving yourself a tour throughout the house, getting snacks, and going on your phone?
I have this huge project that we do in senior year of highschool, we have an entire year to do it. I set out to do a book of illustrations. I had twelve months to do it, but really started working a month before the deadline. I'll print it next week and am barely halfway through🙃
You mean something like when I decided that I finally clean up mess in my wardrobe but in the middle of it I found my old forgotten toys so I'm checking what it is and o my god, I totally forgot about this, I need to text my sister about it and then when I looked for my phone I realized that right now my room is a total mess?
When you can relate to everything but you’re too afraid to tell someone because it will be really awkward when it turns out you don’t have adhd ._____.
i remember the post that said something like "either people with adhd need to stop being so relatable or i need to go to the doctor" and honestly that's just my life right there lol
This literally reminded me that i have an assignment due today(it's 9.28 pm) and that i haven't done a single thing about it yet even though a had about 3 weeks to do it... welp-

You have ADHD when u scroll through the comments while watching the video and u forget what he said then u have to rewatch but then u get to focused on the recommended videos down below and end up clicking those instead of rewatching the vid...
My brother and I watched this 6 years ago and joked about how I do all of these things.... I got diagnosed with ADHD nine months ago. I wish I didn't wait until I was in my 20s to get the help I needed. I should've listened to Ryan sooner lol
I'm currently in my 20's with my ADHD in full swing, because I've never taken any sort of meds. It's solely an advantage now, as I've learned how to get over it's said drawbacks or use them to my benefit. I can multitask with little effort, I'm more aware of my surroundings, I have a very high level of endurance, etc.
HAHAHA same when I was around 14 I watched this video and related to a bunch of stuff but thought there was no way I had adhd. Less than a couple years later I got diagnosed 😃 I’m 19 now
@@firstlast3510 I am 15 and I also relate to almost all of these, but think I can't have ADHD. Crap. edit: The only one I don't relate to is the one with reading a book, if I am reading an interesting book then I can read 100 pages in one go without even realizing it.
Some people don’t rlly notice symptoms until they get a bit older and life gets harder to manage. That’s what happened with me. When you start to feel like your life is being extremely negatively impacted by somethings youve tried to fix but it just won’t happen that’s when you probably should see a doctor. I would wait it out for now. And I would also try to not get addicted to your phone. Overstimulation can give a person adhd-like symptoms.
@@firstlast3510 I am depressed now. I have all of those symptoms and I still think I don't have adhd. There is one exception tho, if I find something very interesting, I am extremely focused on it. That's how I discovered a new field in mathematics, I am 17 now.
I got this video recommend to me on UA-cam again and it hurts to see that this video is 8 years old now :( Ryan literally raised me from his videos and it’s so sad that I won’t ever be able to watch a video like this ever again
Anyone else goes to do homework ,for example, and ends up having a whole conversation with themselves and forgets to do homework till they procrastinate to do something else and end up remembering about it?
yup, one time i was doing my hw for math and then halfway through I started wondering if im gay or not and then i proceeded to wonder about the meaning of life...i ended up missing the deadline
I went to go draw one time and I had a blue pencil and for who knows how long I was there staring into the distance trying to make sense of pencil rankings and why 2B pencils are yellow for students but theres a blue one for artist
Yeah I’m supposed to be doing hw but I think about planning what I need to do out, so I went on my phone to notes, but after unlocking my screen I saw Snapchat notifications, and read them then checked my stories to see what was there. This reminded me to check if I got Instagram notifications and I went there to check and went on reels, which reminded me to check for new videos from the you-tubers I subscribed to, then watching a million videos and procrastinating, and then seeing this comment and remembering I have to do hw.
am i the only one who goes to wash his hands and then start thinking abt a game where ppl place blocks then realise that I'm brushing my teeth while naked in the shower? or walking to the shops and back 3 times while on a long call? or go out of your house and start thinking abt crazy things and suddenly realise ur back home again not knowing where u have been for the past hour? and I've never been diagnosed with ADHD? also I'm meant to b doing my CS homework y am i watching some random asian dude talking abt adhd
as a person with adhd, I really appreciate how fast you talk -- this is one of the few videos I don't have to watch on 1.25 or higher speed in order to be able to pay attention.
remember everybody: ADHD is a spectrum. everybody's experience with ADHD is different and no one is exactly the same. so if you can relate to some of these, but not all, it is still advisable to see a doctor, just to be sure. 😊
@@JumpiiB went through the same thing with my parents, don’t let them discourage you if you’re convinced you have it, it will only make your life way more difficult than it needs to be, call your doctor yourself if you have to and book your appointment they will let you know if they believe you have it
When you have adhd and anxiety it's like one anxious thought leads to another anxious thought and before you realise it, you're now freaking out about walking past people laughing because you think they're laughing at you and then you freak out about looking funny, and then about being ugly, and about them talking about you , and and and etc..
This is so relatable tho... try having adhd, anxiety, add, and a really vivid imagination. I’m legitimately constantly worrying about mind readers reading my thoughts and thinking I’m weird every time I have an uncomfortable thought. Which causes me to try to think about something different which only leads to another uncomfortable thought even though I know that none of it is even slightly realistic. Then I just feel like I’m going crazy inside my own head. I also have ocd on top of that. My brain is a mess.
The one thing that people ALWAYS forget is : Hyper-focus. It's when all the distraction lining up into one straight line and you can't be distracted by anything else. When all the random thoughts are supporting each other. Usually when some thing is super interesting that an ADHD mind will focus in only that one thing and the thousand aspects surrounding that interesting thing

Instant subscribe. The talking speed was smooth as butter, very pleasant to listen to and that's a big deal for me. So much relatability here! I would love tips on managing untreated adhd. I'm currently fighting it and all of its chaotic consequences
being in group discussions over zoom is so mentally draining because most of the time the people in my group think that im not participating, but the problem is that what they are contributing is distracting me from what i wanted to say. by the time we have to go back to the main group, i havent said anything because i couldnt find a spot to fit in my idea or i forgot my idea due to the other people sharing. edit: pls do not self-diagnose if you can relate to my comment !! this can happen to people without adhd also!! this is not a specifically adhd trait! i just wanted to share my experience!
same, i'm not diagnosed with adhd but i cut off people's sentences unintentionally because if i don't get it out immediately i will never be able to cuz i'll just forget.
@@ylvaleschner7588 Yeah, but I honestly think that the purpose of this video is to try and find out for as many people as possible to see if they have ADHD using key details someone with ADHD could have, y'know. Just pointing out that what he's saying is definitely true just for reassurance lol
It’s not that people with ADHD (or just people who are chronic procrastinators) work best under pressure, it’s that they ONLY work under pressure. (Technically yes, that is the ‘best’ but technically since they only work under pressure it could also be their ‘worst’)
No joke literally got distracted from my homework by a squirrel then laughed my ass off after realizing I just played into the most default ass ADHD trope
other (lesser known) symptoms of ADHD that i have, and maybe you do too: - hyperfocus: basically the opposite of the cliche “ooh butterfly”, where for an amount of time, usually between matter of hours to a couple days, you’re super focused on one thing, almost to the point of not being able to stop, even to the point (in severe cases), not eating or sleeping for days at a time solely because you couldn’t tear your focus away from doing one thing for even a short period of time. - self medication: some people that don’t take prescribed medication for their adhd are able to self medicate with caffeine, like coffee or energy drinks (yellow redbull is my favorite). It gives roughly the same effect as taking meds, i.e., less fidgeting and better focus. - can’t learn things from videos: i’m not sure why this happens, but if a lecture is uploaded in a video form, it’s a billion times harder to learn and take notes, even with the ability to rewind. - adhd depression: where it feels like there’s nothing to do, nothing sounds fun or appealing. you don’t want to read, watch youtube or netflix, exercise, etc, so life just feels bleak and boring and you usually just end up sleeping a lot, because although it’s boring, at least its something to do. i hope you got some education, or further understanding of the enigma that is ADHD, and i hope you have an amazing day!
Hey most of these are true! Especially the one about self medication, i diddnt think my meds worked at first because i was addicted to energy drinks and they gave the same results
@@polarispulsar "Dude, I think I have adhd." "How can you tell?" "Ryan higa told me so I'm mentally disabled and I'm oppressed now because of it and my life is so hard MURHURDABURHA"
I hate this video because he is romanticizing adhd. I have adhd and it's not funny or quirky. I lie on bed all day, focusing gives me physical symptoms, I experience extreme boredom no matter what I do so I get the urge to do drugs or else I can't think straight, I get more physical symptoms and can't function.
@@rawcoustic1718 he has ADHD too ya know.... I have ADHD and this is a nice and funny video, all you have to do is learn how to not get offended by jokes about something you have.
I relate to all of these examples and I can still concentrate well when I want to. These things happen to me everyday when something isn't really important so it's not a big deal if I don't do it right away or if I miss it. I consider myself more of a dreamer rather than having attention trouble.
Anyone else while thinking of too many things at ones just randomly forget about what you were thinking and you are just like ‘wait wtf was I thinking about’ and tries to remember the first thought that started this whole train of thought but get distracted again by thoughts while doing that... and you are now just confused and frustrated??
ADHD things: (don’t self diagnose from these or convince yourself that you do them because self diagnosed looking for an excuse are so annoying but if yup genuinely do relate to these maybe get checked out) Finding a lump, bump or pimple and picking at it without realising and forgetting not to, making the pain or problem worse Replying to conversations and then asking what you just replied to (lack of focus) Constantly moving, even if it’s small movements like moving your teeth or fingers because you’ve had to mask it to fit in Getting random ass waves of anger, sadness or full on crackhead Getting really into things (like TV shows or bands) really intensely, but getting sick of it pretty quick Good at doing things fast (like typing, talking, running) Gets distracted very easily Has lots of tabs open on laptop Cannot stay focused on one subject during study Constantly has a million thoughts at once Zones out all the time Good reaction time Forgets what they are doing while they are doing it Can remember lots of people's names but randomly forgets the people close to them sometimes When you're taking notes and then a random thought pops up so now you've accidentally written that thought instead of what you're trying to copy Like if you can relate and comment any others so I can add them
@@nourseenfriends4189 ADHD is not only zoning out, but it is one of the more common signs that you have ADHD. It is not that when you zone out, that you immediatly have ADHD.

Ikr like I can’t remember anything I swear to god. I work best under pressure, and I can’t ever smile or remember if I already washed my hair in the shower or not. I always fidget and stuff and all the stuff in this list lol
Lev v damn you have no idea then... the panic when you don’t know what to order when the waiter comes and you can’t decide between two different dishes, or the embarrassment of not wanting to eat because you panicked again and couldn’t decide
Alright I'm pretty much convinced I at least have mild ADHD, the example of not smiling in a group setting is so relatable, I constantly get told I look so emotionless or sad but it's because I'm constantly thinking of other stuff.
adhd gets misdiagnosed 20% of the time and contains co morbid illnesses. the problem with that is many illness's especially revolving around mood and anxiety disorders co habitate a lot of the same symptoms. Id recommend not jumping to conclusions and seeing a dr. there's a chance you actually have a mood disorder. Having "mild adhd" doesn't exactly work that way while on a spectrum its not stronger to weaker its more type 1-2 and combined + symptomatic vs not. Bi polar and borderline personality disorder are common misdiagnosis and involve the not smiling thing heavily =)
lmaooo me, i mean i'm going to go see a professional soon, but it's so hard to get an appointment when you don't already have a psychiatrist ;; they usually don't accept new patients, so I always say "I have trouble concentrating" or "Sorry I have a bad memory" so people don't think i self diagnose but they can still understand why i do these things and get that it's out of my control
@@vitaliy1858 I was recommended a therapist a few months ago because I thought I was having heart attack symptoms but really it was just stress and anxiety. I decided not to because I didn't have time. I got so upset with feeling like my brain didn't work that I started looking up what it could mean and landed on ADHD which people thought I had as a child but I never got diagnosed for it and I finally learned what it meant to have it.... I called the therapists and will be taking a very basic test for it in a week sense technically she's only a case worker/therapist but not a neurologist therapist. I also have an appointment with my doctor a month from now and I guess we'll see what happens. Edit: took the test. Yep ADHD.

I am 25 untreated and find it affecting my life severely. I will leave class after I get there because I think I left the heater on. I will have everything to leave I get in my car, to realize I don't know where I set my keys down or that I even did. To be able to get my associates degree I had to take 1-2 classes a semester being untreated. I am going back to school full time and am so worried. I have a doctors appointment Monday as I feel like it is actually hindering my quality of life. I wish when I was young I would not have felt so ashamed of having to take something for it, that way I would have been able to get properly treated.

i still remember that one time i had a camp at middle school... MIDDLE SCHOOL! not some kid elementary school. like some sort of club camp... and we're doing some ice breaking game time or some shit. The game is someone in charge will say a simple line to all of the line group leaders AT THE SAME TIME IN A CIRCLE. and every groups leads (like the most front person) will go back to their own line of people have to pass "that simple line" to the second person through whispering. Then the fastest group to pass that line till the end wins. (the last person in that particular line will need to say it to the person in charge to win) I was literally the front most person at my group line so I had to go with the other groups' front most people to that "person in charge" to hear to line. I was too focus on focusing the line that I literally forgot what he says like 2 seconds later when I had to go back and pass it down to the other guy. ITS JUST A SIMPLE LINE (something like "after this game we'll go back to the classroom" or some shit) AND I CAN'T FKIN DO IT OMFG I WAS SO FKIN EMBARRASSED AND thank god that "person" told me again jesus.... THAT MOMENT WAS SO EMBARRASSING THAT I STILL REMEMBERED IT VIVIDLY UNTIL NOW... AND THAT WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL.... LIKE A BIG BOY NOT SOME SMOL BOY JESUS I WANNA DIE AT THAT TIME FML

I dont kow if I have adhd but i do this whenever i have an assignment. I tend to say oh im gonna fail that, cause if I say im gonna pass it, I will most likely have my expectations up and i dont want to get all happy and sad so i lie to myself. That way if I do end up having a really good grade I just get happy. Its a win win situation.
ohhh i do that a bit... though if others are with me i just let them remember it instead and don't pay any attention at all which is not helpful ... but i do that to avoid running late ! .. i KNOW i'll be late, so i give myself an earlier time goal, and then i tell myself i'm gonna be late for that earlier time goal so i better rush to get ready coz i forgot i moved the time goal and it in fact starts later but that's how come i end up an hour early places these days, exhausted and stressed from rushing, and very confused as to why nobody else is there.... >.> ..... i hacked it.

I got A's and B's through school until I hit college, ADHD is fucking hysterical in the way that it makes you fail when it matters most. I'm also a recovering alcoholic, and I have destroyed three relationships because of how focused I am on random topics that just so happen to interest me.
When I was in middle school I asked my counselor to have me tested because something just didn't seem right. The way my friends studied was so different from what worked for me and I couldn't focus for the life of me. But my counselor refused and said because I did okay on the state mandated tests I couldn't have a learning disability. Then my freshman year of college I was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Since I've gotten help school has caused me much less anxiety. I just wish they would've listened to me when I was younger.
I think it could have been better if you didn't know that because now that you know you have dyslexia, you wiill underestimate yourself saying "I can't be as good as them because I have dyslexia. I have a lot of problems to be focused on studying or reading, but I prefer to think I need to make more effort than telling myself I can't do X thing because of an illness. I don't know man, my opinion seriously.
I have really good grades for some subjects. We have sets in our school 1 is the best 4 is the worst. I’m in set 3 but have the best grades in class so I don’t know if I’m smart for my level or just dumb in general compared to everyone. But for some reason I’m absolutely amazing at art
I remember watching this like 5 years ago and thinking "Haha, no, those are just regular things that everyone does!" Anyways, I'm now on a waiting list to see a psychologist to get myself assessed for ADHD 🙃
Oh my god....I was only diagnosed about a year ago and I'm nearly 50 and this has been me my whole life. He so perfectly describes exactly what has been going on in my head for ever. And, I love how fast he talks, I am always told to slow down, don't speak so fast. I heard someone respond when told to slow down, why don't you keep up? That's how I've always felt. Unfortunately, I got diagnosed because I have been having SO much trouble with my career, which is possibly failing the PhD I started before I realised I was ridiculously bad at project managing a 'giant' idea into a really tiny focused piece and not realising about the every thought leading to another would be a bad thing - worked great all the way up to no at Uni and in life, but anyhoo...It is just really frustrating bc it feels like I'm failing and I so know all about the subject and its brilliant but I just can't figure out all the little boring bits that I needed to do, but nobody told me and there was no way that I'd figure it out, and there is nobody who can really help me at the university, so I am doing a paper equal to about 6 months work in a few weeks - which is great, because I need the pressure but I just feel rather isolated because Im sure from their perspective it would be completely frustrating working with me just as its completely frustrating getting given pretty straight forward instructions, and at the time when they give them to me I think, yeah thats simple I can do that but then when I begin the work myself, I get completely confused and over-complicate it and am always behind because of being too embarassed to ask for help for what feels like ALL THE TIME!!!! Phew, didn't mean to write that much, thanks for the confessional
Hi, thanks for sharing! Though I'm only on highschool, this is very, very, VERY relatable! I'm afraid I may be exaggerating if I were to tell anyone my doubts about having ADHD, but all the things told in your comment were basically describing me, haha
most annoying thing about ADHD is when you start talking to a friend about the weather, but then you have to stop to backtrack to find out how you got onto the subject of nuclear fission.
Lol I have to keep track of tangents in my head, like a big rocket-science type problem being written on a big board in my brain. Then, some parts get erased and I end up concluding whatever I'm talking about randomly.
everyone, whether they have adhd or not, can relate to these. its only a real concern if it gets in the way with everyday productivity. like for me, it literally gets in the way to the extent that people get angry at me all the time for forgetting things and getting distracted etc.

Now I'm actually considering getting tested because THIS IS ME Edit 12/30: danggg ok so I first commented 4 yrs ago and got no engagement whatsoever but this one I posted about a month ago and wowww 735 likes and 37 replies; I'm just shook beyond belief. Thanks y'all and wappy yew near!
ADHD is a over diagnosed disorder for most, it’s real for very little people and if you fidget and can’t focus, that means you are bored and want to do something else. Every human has this problem... that’s why you relate to this so much.
@@DivinesLegacy Are you fucking kidding me. Try and live one day in my life as a person with ADHD and then you'll know that it's real. Do actual research before you go comment that ADHD isn't real. And no, going on Facebook doesn't count as research you circus clown.
If what you said rings true to people with ADHD, then I kind of checked off everything on that list. And it’s amazing how specific you’re being - such as fluidly reading several pages of a book, sounding out the words, maybe even reading out loud - then 2 pages later realizing you’ve been daydreaming about a phrase you read in the first paragraph of page 1 - completely not knowing what you just read. Or the fact that I am ALWAYS playing an imaginary piano to a song that I’m listening to - even at 2am when I’m up late and can’t sleep. Or the fact that I can’t sit down and have a phone call unless I’m doodling something (I am an art UA-camr in my defence) Or the fact that throughout school and my career, I always felt like that guy who couldn’t keep up - didn’t quite “have what it takes” regardless of my very persistent efforts Or the fact that my UA-cam videos, which are long-form talks about art career related things - are 100% of the time, completely freestyle. I just come up with a topic that I feel is important and go on about it until that thought exhausts itself. I literally check off everything on that list - and I haven’t mentioned yet, I’m a fairly successful 46 year old (at least, successful now - but it was a rough road to get here) And lastly, two of my 3 kids have ADHD (one diagnosed so far) - and I’m dating someone with ADHD - and I love people with ADHD, their humour, their sharp whit - like Girlfriend Reviews or Jim Carrey or well.. You, quite frankly. Hmmm.
I have ADHD (I was actually diagnosed when I was 4, and took medication) and I had to stop the video in the middle a think of how this related to me so well, but then my mind went crazy and after about 20 minutes, I wanted to listen to music so I went back to UA-cam and saw that this video was paused on UA-cam so I finally finished watching it.
Back in school, when the teacher was saying stuff, i wrote everything, But my mind would go wondering off. at the end of the class, i didn't even remember what the lesson was about, but i had written everything down! Even if the teacher went talking about something else or told a joke or a story, i would unknowingly write those stuff down too!
Oh my gosh this video just popped up in my feed probably because I've been watching a lot of ADHD videos lately. Bro you look soo young here LOL This video takes me way back to my early UA-cam days. Miss those days. Simpler times!
+A M I have an IQ of 130 through 140. And I have few of these symptoms. But I think the ADHD keeps your brain constantly moving and searching for the gaps in the puzzle. Piecing things together. Which is something normal brains don't do. We're like chess players. Just because we're smart doesn't mean we're not ADHD. Our brain is constantly moving and thinking of The Next Step or link. Like if you go on a trip. You think of all the contingencies. You might be a bit of a money hoarder. Because you're worried about all the possibilities of financial shortcomings. You're not just a blow it and fuck it type of person.
Nah bro it is sometimes but mostly it just keeps me from being creative. I end up worrying about what I’m doing, thinking too much and not being able to think.
My adhd gift is to have a wild story with dramatic up and downs And possibly forget all of it again and then watch the drama again with the awesome feeling all over again This is the reason you get bored rarely in something you do like! And all over repeat again
How is all of this me? I was diagnosed in first grade, and everything in this video happens to me on a daily basis. I laughed out loud throughout that whole "free-style" rant, too. I'm constantly thinking about everything and everything 24/7. I really appreciate when people create these videos because it gives people who don't have ADHD a perspective on how we live.
i can’t be the only one who sits down and talks to themself like “okay i’m going to get all of my homework done for once” and the second they read the first sentence it reminds of them of something on youtube and before you realize it your watching indians build temples at 3am
Omg I can relate so much!!
oof ur not me too
Yah. from what I see it’s if u do these things al the time or very often
YOU JUST PERFECTLY DESCRIBED ME 😱😂
So relatable

I thought I was the only one

@@R907ed the ARE true
ive been diagnosed for 8 years and same
SAME
Totally normal for people to relate to some of these from time to time. An ADHD person experiences most of these on a daily basis without fail. This video is upbeat but living with ADHD isn't a walk in the park but with a few quirky differences. when your brain bombards you with 100 thoughts at once, all day, all night... and it's like that every single day, it becomes extremely stressful and leads to pretty bad anxiety as well. My brain doesn't shut off, ever. It plays a role in everything, I'm 30 years old and my whole life I tried to pretend I didn't need help... and that I could do this all on my own, well here I am finally seeking help. This video was awesome btw I don't know how im barely seeing this now. I use to watch Ryan every day.
I'm in the process of seeking help as well, but the only time I can feel like my brain doesn't have 1000 other thoughts is when I'm exhausted and want to sleep, it kind of feels like they're not as distracting so I just pass out. If I was trying to fall asleep while not really tired, it would be a difrent story. I'm still figuring things out, so I'm not sure if this is relatable, but that's how it is for me.
@@BunnyEZ Yes, especially at the time of sleep when I'm not tired I can not sleep easily. There are a lot of thoughts that could easily keep me awake for another 1-2 hours and when I become tired of continuous mind chatter I fell asleep.
Me: **silently checks off everything**
also me: nah im probably over-exaggerating..
s a m e-
*me but I’m still gonna make a checklist for some reason*
yes!
lmao same😭
Mt dad just said it was bad parenting and he's probably right. And if he is then how dare he raise me that way 😤. Not kidding it affects my life a lot.
Lesson learned: ADHD can mess up a life as much as it can make life interesting.
THIS
literally i dont think i would be as fun without my ADHD but ik i would do so much better in school if i didnt have it
such a blessing and a curse
How it makes life interesting ?
It freakin sucks
It’s kinda fucked up my gpa
it's the reason I live in people's head rent free as a ~inch resting conversationalist~
I remember watching this video and thinking, "oh aren't all people like this?" only to get diagnosed years later lol

I'm at 'oh aren't all people like this?' right now.
I'm not sure if I should laugh or get serious about this.
Woah. Why ?

Oh dude,
i was diagnosed with adhd about a week ago... :D
I could remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with ADHD. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES sure of mycologist Predroshrooms.
I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin
is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
Where do I reach this dude? If possible can I find him on Google

This video really was so far ahead of its time compared to the awareness of adhd that we have now. I love this, thank you for being a part of my childhood I can revisit.
Do y’all ever start working on something and 90% of the “working” time you’re giving yourself a tour throughout the house, getting snacks, and going on your phone?
yep- always-
Yeah everytime
yup!
I have this huge project that we do in senior year of highschool, we have an entire year to do it. I set out to do a book of illustrations. I had twelve months to do it, but really started working a month before the deadline. I'll print it next week and am barely halfway through🙃
this is related to adhd?
When you finish doing something in your room, and then realize that's not why you came into your room.
thats so true

“You work better when your under pressure”

This literally reminded me that i have an assignment due today(it's 9.28 pm) and that i haven't done a single thing about it yet even though a had about 3 weeks to do it... welp-
I listen to very fast music it helps me do things faster
Yeaa one time I had an essay that we had like 4-5 weeks to work on and I did it 2 hours before it was due :’)

My brother and I watched this 6 years ago and joked about how I do all of these things.... I got diagnosed with ADHD nine months ago. I wish I didn't wait until I was in my 20s to get the help I needed. I should've listened to Ryan sooner lol
I'm currently in my 20's with my ADHD in full swing, because I've never taken any sort of meds. It's solely an advantage now, as I've learned how to get over it's said drawbacks or use them to my benefit. I can multitask with little effort, I'm more aware of my surroundings, I have a very high level of endurance, etc.
HAHAHA same when I was around 14 I watched this video and related to a bunch of stuff but thought there was no way I had adhd. Less than a couple years later I got diagnosed 😃 I’m 19 now
@@firstlast3510 I am 15 and I also relate to almost all of these, but think I can't have ADHD. Crap.
edit: The only one I don't relate to is the one with reading a book, if I am reading an interesting book then I can read 100 pages in one go without even realizing it.
Some people don’t rlly notice symptoms until they get a bit older and life gets harder to manage. That’s what happened with me. When you start to feel like your life is being extremely negatively impacted by somethings youve tried to fix but it just won’t happen that’s when you probably should see a doctor. I would wait it out for now. And I would also try to not get addicted to your phone. Overstimulation can give a person adhd-like symptoms.
@@firstlast3510 I am depressed now. I have all of those symptoms and I still think I don't have adhd. There is one exception tho, if I find something very interesting, I am extremely focused on it. That's how I discovered a new field in mathematics, I am 17 now.

Anyone else goes to do homework ,for example, and ends up having a whole conversation with themselves and forgets to do homework till they procrastinate to do something else and end up remembering about it?
yup, one time i was doing my hw for math and then halfway through I started wondering if im gay or not and then i proceeded to wonder about the meaning of life...i ended up missing the deadline
Yes
Man if only i remembered relating to this during my therapy sessions so i can tell my psychologist this-
I went to go draw one time and I had a blue pencil and for who knows how long I was there staring into the distance trying to make sense of pencil rankings and why 2B pencils are yellow for students but theres a blue one for artist
Yeah I’m supposed to be doing hw but I think about planning what I need to do out, so I went on my phone to notes, but after unlocking my screen I saw Snapchat notifications, and read them then checked my stories to see what was there. This reminded me to check if I got Instagram notifications and I went there to check and went on reels, which reminded me to check for new videos from the you-tubers I subscribed to, then watching a million videos and procrastinating, and then seeing this comment and remembering I have to do hw.
We're in the comments because we aren't paying attention
How did you know?!
It's kinda scary that you can read my mind
am i the only one who goes to wash his hands and then start thinking abt a game where ppl place blocks then realise that I'm brushing my teeth while naked in the shower? or walking to the shops and back 3 times while on a long call? or go out of your house and start thinking abt crazy things and suddenly realise ur back home again not knowing where u have been for the past hour? and I've never been diagnosed with ADHD?

as a person with adhd, I really appreciate how fast you talk -- this is one of the few videos I don't have to watch on 1.25 or higher speed in order to be able to pay attention.
remember everybody: ADHD is a spectrum. everybody's experience with ADHD is different and no one is exactly the same. so if you can relate to some of these, but not all, it is still advisable to see a doctor, just to be sure. 😊

When you have adhd and anxiety it's like one anxious thought leads to another anxious thought and before you realise it, you're now freaking out about walking past people laughing because you think they're laughing at you and then you freak out about looking funny, and then about being ugly, and about them talking about you , and and and etc..

This is so relatable tho... try having adhd, anxiety, add, and a really vivid imagination. I’m legitimately constantly worrying about mind readers reading my thoughts and thinking I’m weird every time I have an uncomfortable thought. Which causes me to try to think about something different which only leads to another uncomfortable thought even though I know that none of it is even slightly realistic. Then I just feel like I’m going crazy inside my own head. I also have ocd on top of that. My brain is a mess.
@@kaymcdermott3542 mind readers?
The one thing that people ALWAYS forget is : Hyper-focus. It's when all the distraction lining up into one straight line and you can't be distracted by anything else. When all the random thoughts are supporting each other. Usually when some thing is super interesting that an ADHD mind will focus in only that one thing and the thousand aspects surrounding that interesting thing

other (lesser known) symptoms of ADHD that i have, and maybe you do too:
- hyperfocus: basically the opposite of the cliche “ooh butterfly”, where for an amount of time, usually between matter of hours to a couple days, you’re super focused on one thing, almost to the point of not being able to stop, even to the point (in severe cases), not eating or sleeping for days at a time solely because you couldn’t tear your focus away from doing one thing for even a short period of time.
- self medication: some people that don’t take prescribed medication for their adhd are able to self medicate with caffeine, like coffee or energy drinks (yellow redbull is my favorite). It gives roughly the same effect as taking meds, i.e., less fidgeting and better focus.
- can’t learn things from videos: i’m not sure why this happens, but if a lecture is uploaded in a video form, it’s a billion times harder to learn and take notes, even with the ability to rewind.
- adhd depression: where it feels like there’s nothing to do, nothing sounds fun or appealing. you don’t want to read, watch youtube or netflix, exercise, etc, so life just feels bleak and boring and you usually just end up sleeping a lot, because although it’s boring, at least its something to do.
i hope you got some education, or further understanding of the enigma that is ADHD, and i hope you have an amazing day!
Yeah these are all true, but I find the opposite for videos, I think their easier to learn from for me
Hey most of these are true! Especially the one about self medication, i diddnt think my meds worked at first because i was addicted to energy drinks and they gave the same results

ADHD things: (don’t self diagnose from these or convince yourself that you do them because self diagnosed looking for an excuse are so annoying but if yup genuinely do relate to these maybe get checked out)
Finding a lump, bump or pimple and picking at it without realising and forgetting not to, making the pain or problem worse
Replying to conversations and then asking what you just replied to (lack of focus)
Constantly moving, even if it’s small movements like moving your teeth or fingers because you’ve had to mask it to fit in
Getting random ass waves of anger, sadness or full on crackhead

@@nourseenfriends4189 ADHD is not only zoning out, but it is one of the more common signs that you have ADHD. It is not that when you zone out, that you immediatly have ADHD. ADHD symtons are different for everone who has it. If you think you might have ADD/ADHD, I would say: talk to your parents about it and see what they think. (I speak as someone who has ADHD :-) ) Hope this helped
My brain: Oh dang I relate to everything in this video
Also my brain: I'm making everything up I don't have adhd
nobody:
Me: diagnosed with ADHD
my family: No, you are just dumb

Im diegnosed with adhd and my family still does that lol but i also have dyslexia so like it has an explanation
@@mysterymansion_7704 I mean dyslexia happens to the best of us I suppose
Lol the same with me and my twin xD
I also have autism spd anxiety ocd and dislexia tho so I mean I would be dumb without adhd xD
I don't have ADHD but i thought these were normal to others and myself
Ikr like I can’t remember anything I swear to god. I work best under pressure, and I can’t ever smile or remember if I already washed my hair in the shower or not. I always fidget and stuff and all the stuff in this list lol

A big fucking true coming right up
True
I literally started day dreaming when Ryan was talking at the beginning
I relate to everything here but I fon't know if I have ADHD or not.
Edit:nvm I was at a therapist and got diagnosed with autism.
I relate to everything except the food at the restaurant one, i always know what I wanna eat, mainly because I usually eat the same thing
Lev v damn you have no idea then... the panic when you don’t know what to order when the waiter comes and you can’t decide between two different dishes, or the embarrassment of not wanting to eat because you panicked again and couldn’t decide
Lev v I do the same thing but I think I started doing it just to avoid making a decision every time I go out to eat
I relate to exactly everything on this list but i haven't been diagnosed with adhd, at least not yet
@@levv7258 but then what if you went to unfamiliar restaurant and they don't serve the meal that you usually eat? 😂
Alright I'm pretty much convinced I at least have mild ADHD, the example of not smiling in a group setting is so relatable, I constantly get told I look so emotionless or sad but it's because I'm constantly thinking of other stuff.
Ikr
Yes
for me I made it such a habit to keep smiling that my face hurts after conversation with peopl
@hurricane tortilla go to your school councillor and you can avoid needed parents almost entirely, Im sure your school can put you on the right path
adhd gets misdiagnosed 20% of the time and contains co morbid illnesses. the problem with that is many illness's especially revolving around mood and anxiety disorders co habitate a lot of the same symptoms. Id recommend not jumping to conclusions and seeing a dr. there's a chance you actually have a mood disorder. Having "mild adhd" doesn't exactly work that way while on a spectrum its not stronger to weaker its more type 1-2 and combined + symptomatic vs not. Bi polar and borderline personality disorder are common misdiagnosis and involve the not smiling thing heavily =)
Me:relating to every single symptom in most of these videos
Also me:nah I don't wanna self diagnose and can't go to a professional
MOOD
Same 😂
lmaooo me, i mean i'm going to go see a professional soon, but it's so hard to get an appointment when you don't already have a psychiatrist ;; they usually don't accept new patients, so I always say "I have trouble concentrating" or "Sorry I have a bad memory" so people don't think i self diagnose but they can still understand why i do these things and get that it's out of my control
@@vitaliy1858 I was recommended a therapist a few months ago because I thought I was having heart attack symptoms but really it was just stress and anxiety. I decided not to because I didn't have time. I got so upset with feeling like my brain didn't work that I started looking up what it could mean and landed on ADHD which people thought I had as a child but I never got diagnosed for it and I finally learned what it meant to have it.... I called the therapists and will be taking a very basic test for it in a week sense technically she's only a case worker/therapist but not a neurologist therapist. I also have an appointment with my doctor a month from now and I guess we'll see what happens.
Edit: took the test. Yep ADHD. Now I have an appointment with my doctor to talk about medication and my next steps.

i watched this as a teenager and related to every single point. i was diagnosed with adhd but my mother refused to believe it was real. here i am in 2021, dropped out of college 2 times, trying so damn hard and it's never enough, and I'm finally getting help. this video popped up in my recommended and flooded me with so many memories of my childhood. of me not knowing what was going, why i was always described as smart but not trying hard enough, disinterested, or lazy. i remember this video brought me comfort, though i didn't want to relate at the time, my mother would have had me believe that any mental illness made me stupid, less, or other. now i know better. thank you, you are part of the reason i never gave up and stayed hopeful.
I can so relate. Thanks for sharing!! Encouraging to stay hopeful in the midst of the hard fight.
thanks for sharing this:) hope is all we have.
Thats fucked up. You deserve better than what your mom gave you.
I am 25 untreated and find it affecting my life severely. I will leave class after I get there because I think I left the heater on. I will have everything to leave I get in my car, to realize I don't know where I set my keys down or that I even did. To be able to get my associates degree I had to take 1-2 classes a semester being untreated. I am going back to school full time and am so worried. I have a doctors appointment Monday as I feel like it is actually hindering my quality of life. I wish when I was young I would not have felt so ashamed of having to take something for it, that way I would have been able to get properly treated.
i thought i have adhd but after watching this i am pretty happy caz i barely have 1 or 2 symptoms of this and i think i do not have adhd
That moment when you’ve lost focus in class and then you remember a funny joke and randomly burst out laughing happens a lot when you have ADHD or ADD
Racist Richard Yes
Yes! That was embarrassing
That happens to literally everyone.
wait acuatly? :(
I do that but i'm not diagnosed. Maybe because I scroll through a lot of memes
That moment you can't even focus on this video to understand the symptoms of ADHD.
When you can't concentrate in what the teacher is trying to say for 5 minutes but you can stay 9 hours straight playing videogames and watching stuff youtube reccomends you.
then that's not adhd..
@@deany1421 actually, it is! A really big misconception that some people have is that people with adhd CAN'T pay attention. That's not true. People with ADHD just can't concentrate *on the right things.* Actually, people with ADHD can display EXTREME amounts of concentration if they are doing something they are really passionate about, per example, PLAYING VIDEOGAMES AND WATCHING STUFF ON UA-cam! Pretty cool, huh? I hope I helped you understand more about it :D

what is "ADD" ?
@@chickenchopchickenchop It's basically ADHD, but without the H which stands for 'Hyperactive'. So if you have it, you're less hyperactive but you still have most of the other symptoms.
@@chickenchopchickenchop the correct term nowadays is adhd inattentive type. Is adhd but ur not hyper on the outside. (Brain still goes Brrrrrrrr tho)
Personally I find replacing ADHD with ADD just because you're not hyperactive on the outside extremely wrong, your brain is hyper fast all the same
@@lennygosheesh Yeah I have no idea why they replaced it with a longer version when ADD just makes more sense to me

DEAR EVERYONE WHO ARE CONCERNED THAT THEY MAY HAVE ADHD BUT ARE BEING DISCOURAGED BY COMMENTS SAYIJG HOW THEY HATE SELF DIAGNOSERS, DONT LET THAT DISCOURAGE YOU FROM FINDING A REAL DOCTOR AND SEEING FOR YOURSELF!!!
Yeah I want to go to a doctor or therapy but people keep telling me that I'm just making excuses
@@sapphiregolden5365 yeeeeeeesssssss there’s too many comments in here that we’re making me feel....idk bad like I was faking/making excuses so that isn’t helping my doubt
I feel like it would be better to get a professional diagnosis than to not know if you’re really concerned
Like when people say to your face that you're lying, it really makes you think twice about telling people that you have it. Really, really sucks lol
Im scared that what if i really dont have an ADHD and im just like this (lazy) what will happen with my life now? I really can’t move forward its affecting my daily life... i want to excel in my studies but i just cant im not dumb im actually a fast learner its just i cant.
I hate people who hate people who self-diagnose. From where I'm from, seeing a doctor is a privilege. Self-diagnosing is the only way I can make sense of myself. I hope they realize that diagnosing our conditions is heavily influenced by our material conditions and being an ass about it is elitist af.
i still remember that one time i had a camp at middle school... MIDDLE SCHOOL! not some kid elementary school. like some sort of club camp... and we're doing some ice breaking game time or some shit. The game is someone in charge will say a simple line to all of the line group leaders AT THE SAME TIME IN A CIRCLE. and every groups leads (like the most front person) will go back to their own line of people have to pass "that simple line" to the second person through whispering. Then the fastest group to pass that line till the end wins. (the last person in that particular line will need to say it to the person in charge to win)
I was literally the front most person at my group line so I had to go with the other groups' front most people to that "person in charge" to hear to line. I was too focus on focusing the line that I literally forgot what he says like 2 seconds later when I had to go back and pass it down to the other guy. ITS JUST A SIMPLE LINE (something like "after this game we'll go back to the classroom" or some shit) AND I CAN'T FKIN DO IT OMFG I WAS SO FKIN EMBARRASSED AND thank god that "person" told me again jesus.... THAT MOMENT WAS SO EMBARRASSING THAT I STILL REMEMBERED IT VIVIDLY UNTIL NOW... AND THAT WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL.... LIKE A BIG BOY NOT SOME SMOL BOY JESUS I WANNA DIE AT THAT TIME FML

I got A's and B's through school until I hit college, ADHD is fucking hysterical in the way that it makes you fail when it matters most. I'm also a recovering alcoholic, and I have destroyed three relationships because of how focused I am on random topics that just so happen to interest me.
Yes in high school I got As in university I got Fs.
Me: “sit still cmon”
ADHD: “so, you’ve chosen... death.”
I hate sitting still, I have to be moving my feet or wiggling my fingers to sit still!

One time in class I was playing with a pencil and threw it across the room
Even with medication I still relate SO MUCH
it almost hurts when I try not to move, like I can’t breath. can anyone else relate?
When I was in middle school I asked my counselor to have me tested because something just didn't seem right. The way my friends studied was so different from what worked for me and I couldn't focus for the life of me.
But my counselor refused and said because I did okay on the state mandated tests I couldn't have a learning disability.
Then my freshman year of college I was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia.
Since I've gotten help school has caused me much less anxiety. I just wish they would've listened to me when I was younger.
Same thing here. Just got testing done and turns out I do have adhd even though I’m and a,b student
@@benjaminkern2586 wow
I think it could have been better if you didn't know that because now that you know you have dyslexia, you wiill underestimate yourself saying "I can't be as good as them because I have dyslexia.

I don't know man, my opinion seriously.
I have really good grades for some subjects. We have sets in our school 1 is the best 4 is the worst. I’m in set 3 but have the best grades in class so I don’t know if I’m smart for my level or just dumb in general compared to everyone. But for some reason I’m absolutely amazing at art

Oh my god....I was only diagnosed about a year ago and I'm nearly 50 and this has been me my whole life. He so perfectly describes exactly what has been going on in my head for ever. And, I love how fast he talks, I am always told to slow down, don't speak so fast. I heard someone respond when told to slow down, why don't you keep up? That's how I've always felt. Unfortunately, I got diagnosed because I have been having SO much trouble with my career, which is possibly failing the PhD I started before I realised I was ridiculously bad at project managing a 'giant' idea into a really tiny focused piece and not realising about the every thought leading to another would be a bad thing - worked great all the way up to no at Uni and in life, but anyhoo...It is just really frustrating bc it feels like I'm failing and I so know all about the subject and its brilliant but I just can't figure out all the little boring bits that I needed to do, but nobody told me and there was no way that I'd figure it out, and there is nobody who can really help me at the university, so I am doing a paper equal to about 6 months work in a few weeks - which is great, because I need the pressure but I just feel rather isolated because Im sure from their perspective it would be completely frustrating working with me just as its completely frustrating getting given pretty straight forward instructions, and at the time when they give them to me I think, yeah thats simple I can do that but then when I begin the work myself, I get completely confused and over-complicate it and am always behind because of being too embarassed to ask for help for what feels like ALL THE TIME!!!!

If what you said rings true to people with ADHD, then I kind of checked off everything on that list.
And it’s amazing how specific you’re being - such as fluidly reading several pages of a book, sounding out the words, maybe even reading out loud - then 2 pages later realizing you’ve been daydreaming about a phrase you read in the first paragraph of page 1 - completely not knowing what you just read.
Or the fact that I am ALWAYS playing an imaginary piano to a song that I’m listening to - even at 2am when I’m up late and can’t sleep.
Or the fact that I can’t sit down and have a phone call unless I’m doodling something (I am an art UA-camr in my defence)
Or the fact that throughout school and my career, I always felt like that guy who couldn’t keep up - didn’t quite “have what it takes” regardless of my very persistent efforts
Or the fact that my UA-cam videos, which are long-form talks about art career related things - are 100% of the time, completely freestyle. I just come up with a topic that I feel is important and go on about it until that thought exhausts itself.
I literally check off everything on that list - and I haven’t mentioned yet, I’m a fairly successful 46 year old (at least, successful now - but it was a rough road to get here)
And lastly, two of my 3 kids have ADHD (one diagnosed so far) - and I’m dating someone with ADHD - and I love people with ADHD, their humour, their sharp whit - like Girlfriend Reviews or Jim Carrey or well..
You, quite frankly.
Hmmm.
I have ADHD (I was actually diagnosed when I was 4, and took medication) and I had to stop the video in the middle a think of how this related to me so well, but then my mind went crazy and after about 20 minutes, I wanted to listen to music so I went back to UA-cam and saw that this video was paused on UA-cam so I finally finished watching it.
mayaflowergirl I so relate but I haven't been diagnosed
Liked your comment! :P
Oh look a butterfly
mayaflowergirl Same!
Hi gu-
Oh look a buttery fly
Back in school, when the teacher was saying stuff, i wrote everything,
But my mind would go wondering off.
at the end of the class, i didn't even remember what the lesson was about, but i had written everything down!
Even if the teacher went talking about something else or told a joke or a story, i would unknowingly write those stuff down too!
oh i thought the exact same example!
Oh that's a good idea
I will have a full page of drawings and other thoughts but absolutely nothing about the lesson!
Lol I do that sometimes, but I only write 1 word. (Sorry that probably doesn't make any sense)
The thing is for me, I write the notes down and then like a day later it will make no sense at all
me, having already been officially diagnosed: hm do i really have it though
Yess, ive been diagnosed and dont know if I really have it
Oh my gosh this video just popped up in my feed probably because I've been watching a lot of ADHD videos lately. Bro you look soo young here LOL
This video takes me way back to my early UA-cam days. Miss those days. Simpler times!
I have ADHD (diagnosed) but no one at school believes me because im smart... WTF anyone can be smart...
Same
Usually as I know from google the person who have ADHD is really smart and above average.
Omg that’s my life story
+A M I have an IQ of 130 through 140. And I have few of these symptoms. But I think the ADHD keeps your brain constantly moving and searching for the gaps in the puzzle. Piecing things together. Which is something normal brains don't do. We're like chess players. Just because we're smart doesn't mean we're not ADHD. Our brain is constantly moving and thinking of The Next Step or link. Like if you go on a trip. You think of all the contingencies. You might be a bit of a money hoarder. Because you're worried about all the possibilities of financial shortcomings. You're not just a blow it and fuck it type of person.
A M I can relate omg.
What if ADHD was actually normal and he other people are wrong
Its REDD OOO
Thank you
Its REDD yea maybe
Its REDD HAHAHAHAHA YESSSSSS I’m the normal one
I know that is what i think about colorblind people
ADHD is a great gift ‘cus you’ll have a boosted imagination. Maybe that’s why Ryan’s videos are funny.
I have it too
Yeah me too...I relate to everything..but I'm not diagnosed
Nah bro it is sometimes but mostly it just keeps me from being creative. I end up worrying about what I’m doing, thinking too much and not being able to think.
I think a boosted imagination isnt worth it for all of the problems come with it
My adhd gift is to have a wild story with dramatic up and downs
And possibly forget all of it again and then watch the drama again with the awesome feeling all over again
This is the reason you get bored rarely in something you do like!
And all over repeat again
How is all of this me? I was diagnosed in first grade, and everything in this video happens to me on a daily basis. I laughed out loud throughout that whole "free-style" rant, too. I'm constantly thinking about everything and everything 24/7. I really appreciate when people create these videos because it gives people who don't have ADHD a perspective on how we live.
