In Quest of Her

What bores you?

🎶Ladidadida🎶

This is typically what my brain starts doing once I become bored, and/or my attention has shifted. As a person recently diagnosed with ADHD, that’s often and easily.

On the flip side, capturing my attention is rather easy, it’s holding it that is the hard part.

For example, I was listening to a peer talk about something and in the beginning I was really interested in what was being said but in my head they weren’t getting to the point fast enough so my attention shifted and I zeroed in on the surrounding noise, the piece of paper I saw on the floor and the people walking by. Then all of sudden all I heard was noise and nothing of what he said. I was embarrassed when he began looking for feedback. I had nothing.

According to a 2020 study ADHD and boredom are indeed linked.

So in short probably everything, eventually.
