    Is this a case of everybody just saying that it’s ADHD or nah? Because I don’t think I have it but this is pretty familiar

      Adhd-ers aren’t living in alien bodies, we’re all uniquely human. The problem with adhd is in the executive function of the brain. So we make certain human mistakes others (can) also make to the point where it becomes a disorder. In this case to all the things that have to do with executive functions. Looks different for everyone and there are many different expressions of the disorder.

      So you can relate? Okay now imagine this happening everyday multiple times a day with things big and small. The other day I wanted to put lotion on my face so I put toothpaste on my gf toothbrush. It’s harmless and small most of the time, but it’s constant and you have to work hard to overcome it.

      There are a lot of things ppl seem to ascribe to adhd that aren’t (and also it often depends on the severity/frequency whether it’s normal or not) but also symptoms for different mental afflictions often overlap and distinguishing between them can be hard. So it’s very possible something is related to adhd, but someone experiences the same issue without having adhd.

      I have no idea if this particular issue is related to adhd though, but doesn’t seem unlikely.

        Everyone will do that once, people with executive dysfunction will do it all the time.
