People Share the Behaviors They Thought Were Normal Until They Realized They Have ADHD

Many of us probably find the mundane, day-to-day tasks of being an adult extremely boring sometimes. However, for some people with ADHD, it can be boring to the point where it’s detrimental. This person shared that they have trouble doing basic tasks like brushing their teeth or showering. The reason isn’t because they’re depressed or overwhelmed.  

Rather, they find these basic tasks so boring that they keep putting them off. It gets to the point where they probably don’t do them at all some days. For people without ADHD, completing boring tasks is, well, boring but not unbearable. For people with ADHD, these tasks can feel like literal torture because of the lack of stimulation.
