I like the hot stove example, no matter how hard you think about it you will never be able to do it, unless you forget about it for a second. Though, ADHD is not that easy.

No one in this community wants to hear it, but it is a symptom of personality, and the only way you fix it is with consistent effort to discipline yourself over a long period of time. Therapy is as effective as drugs. It just takes more effort, and people would rather brand themselves as disabled than take small, consistent steps over a long period of time.

But that's not caused by ADHD. These days everyone seems to think they have ADHD or some kind of food tolerance. Without knowing what it really means to actually have those.

Funnily enough, recent studies have shown that probably close to 85% of the population is adhd, it’s just most people have already created the coping mechanisms to destress from it.

Some people take meds, some people play video games and some people rewatch the office for the 40th time. All different ways to cope with issues.

The population of the world or of your country? Pretty hard to perform behavioural statistical research for the entire population..

There's no need to call OP lazy, but I do agree that this is not necessarily ADHD. This is a human thing. It's easy to put the mind at ease saying you will do something later. Then when you are confronted with the present, and have to do it, it all the sudden feels more difficult. Thinking is easy, doing is harder.

Absolutely was not calling op lazy. I was referring to myself. It’s something I tell myself.
