Oh shit, is that a sign of ADHD? This happens to me a lot and it's really tough to overcome, I end up jumping between tasks to do something else, remember the important scary thing, stare at it for a bit then task bounce again.
I am not sure if laziness really exists. But there are countless reasons why someone can have this issue. Additional ones are: a physical lack of energy (nutrition deficit, sleep deficit, etc.), decision or option paralysis, problems handling emotions, trauma, .....
I'm sorry but laziness definitely exists. This is just going too far.
Idk, my parents and teachers were 100% sure it was laziness for years, they didn't seem confused about it at all. It wasn't until I was diagnosed as an adult in college that there was any confusion.
Well, they were wrong. They may not have felt confused. But they were confusing laziness for ADHD.
Sign of executive dysfunction, which can arise as the result of ADHD, anxiety, or other disorders.
