The Chair™

Most of these hit close to home, except that I’m obsessively punctual, check my messages even when there are no new notifications and my file system is a work of art that I can spend hours organizing. But that goddamn chair though…

I am also obsessively punctual, and I use a planner well. Other than that… yeah.

Fuck being punctual. Have to be there at least ten minutes early. But respond to a call or text in a reasonable period of time? Nah.

I’m obsessively punctual, but my file system is like the chair… and I’m a software engineer …

I thought everyone had a couple folders called"stuff". Damn

I can’t delete those, they might have something important … They definitely don’t

I’m you minus the chair… mostly because I don’t own a chair like that

That’s… That’s adhd? Like, I’m all of that. I don’t think I have adhd.

As others said, these are mostly all signs of some kind of executive dysfunction. Mine is from depression, not ADHD, but there’s a lot of overlap. I obsessively keep my inbox empty which is a whole 'nother vibe

I also obsessively keep notifications to 0, probably bc of my GAD or OCD

It’s definitely a result of poor executive functioning, which is a major symptom of ADHD. But that does not mean you have it. Just that these experiences are very common for people with ADHD brains.

It could be adhd, could be nothing, could be autism (poor executive function can be part of that). But it’s clear that you have the opportunity to get tested and improve your QoL. Your decision.

*When they actually suffer from that.

Tricky thing about being neurodivergent is most people have no idea that they‘ve been suffering so getting insight into their own situation (even if they‘re not over the threshold) is going to do much good for their situation. Knowing is always better than not knowing (imo).

don’t diagnose based on memes. see a professional

There are more symptoms to ADHD and even then all of these appear in people without neurodevelopmental or psychological disorders as well. Especially when you live a stressful life.

Excessive number of open tabs, anyone?

Excessive tabs spanning across multiple browsers. Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. All at least 50 tabs opened

Multiple windows open in multiple browsers, each window has minimum of 50 tabs open… Thank the gods for the 'switch to this tab’s feature so I can find what I wanted (even with organization tabs like Tree Style Tabs, shit gets lost)

I am at a smiley face number of tabs on my phone:

Haha same. It’s like a little achievement

I learned that my phone’s browser will only allow 99 tabs. Unless they’ve updated that.

Beyond 99 it just shows a frowning emoji.

I just get ‘99+’ and a shit ton of tabs marked inactive…

Excessive? No. Just the right amount: all of them

well I didn’t use it for about a month now, but I could (i won’t) need it any day now so why close it, it’s a PITA to open it

Only 1000 here. Have been at 1500; started over less than six months ago and I’m back up to 1000…

try 25 virtual desktops running 2 browsers, one of which with multiple profiles for various broad topics … my “main” session alone has 75-80 windows at present 😃

edit: installed an extension to find out: in main session, 378 tabs across 84 windows. seems like a low number of tabs per window perhaps, but I organize topics into a window, then related topic-windows into a dedicated browser profile session if they’re long-lived, and windows/sessions are grouped into virtual desktop by top-level topic more or less … so my fediverse/threadiverse session has 35 tabs in 7 windows in only 1 virtual desktop.

edit 2: I theme each browser profile differently to (mostly) tell them apart by eye
