@definitelygotsomething: Replying to @TearlessOOF an ADHD paradox.. If i look like i am paying zero attention, you probably actually have 100% of it.. #adhd #audhd #adhdtiktok #adhdinwomen #adhdsupport #adhdawareness #neurodivergent #livingwithadhd
I used to doodle so I could focus in class until I got told off for not listening so instead I stared straight ahead while making up stories in my head and not listening to a word that was being said

the worst thing for me is when I start going "Okay, now we focus, look at him and focus what he's saying it is important. i just missed the whole paragraph I didn't hear anything I was thinking-

It’s like I have to “zone in” on their mouth noises, if I look like I’m listening I’m not because I’m thinking about looking like I’m listening 😂

the fact that the 1st is considered "normal" and "acceptable" says a lot....active listening doesn't matter, it only matters how you look in the moment...
