I keep seeing posts pop up that I relate to, then I look down and it’s from an ADHD community. Either these are experiences everyone has… Or I have undiagnosed ADHD
They are memes, they want to express that “do you also know that feeling when…” feeling. The more people can relate, the more up votes it gets. This meme community does not aim at being medically correct. That’s at least my guess, I feel the same as you.
A lot of ADHD symptoms are common in neurotypical people too. The main difference I’ve been told is the frequency of occurrence and impact on quality of life.
A neurotypical person may have this same thing occur, maybe even frequently, but it’s not a constant factor in every facet of their life that causes them problems and eventual distress.
Getting good mental health is difficult, at least in the country I live in. It took me about 15 years to get an ADHD diagnosis, because for most of my life I’ve had lousy health insurance and I couldn’t afford to see a good therapist or psychiatrist.

The best response I heard to this is “Everybody pees, too, but if you’re doing it 60 times a day, then you have a problem”.

Ah ok, that makes a lot of sense.
Thank you for taking the time to construct such a helpful comment.
Spend some time learning about ADHD. Maybe you will understand yourself better, but if not you will at least understand other people better.
I’m in that same boat
Did you copy me? Lmao we came to the same conclusion.
It never hurts to get checked out (unless you live somewhere where that could bankrupt you)
