THEM: If it was important, you'd remember

ME: [has ADHD] I frequently forget that close friends of mine exist

@roxiqt

I have literally forgotten where my car keys were in the car.

While driving.

@tevruden @roxiqt ... I did that yesterday. Although it was more "got annoyed that I'd have to dig around for my house key grumble grumble" while driving.
@tevruden @roxiqt the number of times that I’ve “lost” my phone while talking on it…
@roxiqt I once managed to forget the concept of asking "how are you?" to see how someone's doing
@modulusshift @roxiqt That's where it clicks over to AuDHD, I learned this year.
@hollerpots @roxiqt checks out, I've always considered that particular instance to be a little more of an autism thing, it was just the cherry on top of a whole slew of issues I had around asking questions
@modulusshift Heh, oh my, just noticed your profile and didn't mean to call you out like that with my little humor
@roxiqt Help! I'm being attacked!
@roxiqt word (but in other neurodivergent ways...)
@roxiqt “Too much unnecessary detail in a story indicates possible lying.”
Kill me now. I live by irrelevant details. And I have too much anxiety to lie, I would worry 24/7 that I would get caught.

@maggiemaybe @roxiqt

I serve word salad like I swerved long on alphagetti futures

Your quote left a bruise 😅

@roxiqt [NIHILIST]: nothing is important

@roxiqt 

I need a disclaimer everytime I meet a new person about this.

@roxiqt I forget the names of people I've know most of my life and I can't remember the names of new people I meet ... it's bad ... plz send help t.t
@reina @roxiqt You remember my name tho
@hellomiakoda @roxiqt If it's Miakoda, yes because it's your username and I'm seeing it right now. Otherwise no, if you changed your profile picture wildly, I can't guarantee I'd recognise you at first. I'd eventually realise because I've talked to you a lot tho
@hellomiakoda @roxiqt Please don't take that as an insult btw. It's actually a compliment because my memory of names can be awful
@reina @roxiqt Oh, I didn't feel insulted at all. I only know yours because it's right there, and I've mentioned you a few times to face to face friends.
@reina @roxiqt
"If it's Miakoda, yes because it's your username"
@hellomiakoda @roxiqt I'm sorry. I'm dense today, ehehe. Lack of sleep :p
@roxiqt I forget about my parents sometimes. I forget important appointments. I forget to eat sometimes.
@roxiqt I guess eating can't be too important if I can forget it, so maybe food is optional for humans?
@elexia @roxiqt
Oh. Yeah. I forgot that yesterday.
@roxiqt If my heart required that I think about it just once a year, any time in a year, I'd die.
@roxiqt This legit made me stop and think.
@roxiqt .....This has literally happened to me with members of my own family, whom I love very much 🙃

@roxiqt
Same.

Combine that with hyper focus the world just fades away and I become one with my fixation.

@roxiqt *wakes up at night* the TEA!
uh nevermind
@roxiqt I don't have ADHD (I think) and this saying is still bullshit for me
@roxiqt me, has adhd, frequently lies to myself that this thing is SO important no WAY I’d forget, and then tragically forgets
@roxiqt "You have close friends?"
@roxiqt
Klar, einfach eine Gleichrichter anschließen dazwischen schalten
@Juju

@roxiqt Reading this thread out loud. My wife: Feeling a little called out?

me: Listen if you were treasure hunter & I was a pirate; You would be in good hands they way I put stuff away.

@roxiqt I frequently forget my own birthday.
@roxiqt Or maybe start chatting out of nowhere, continuing a chat we had 6-7 years ago as if it were yesterday, just because some little detail brings them back to mind.
