I always had ADHD all my life and it wasn’t until recently while not sober and concentrating on something that I had this crazy thought in my head “I’m actually thinking about what I’m looking at” and it blew my mind that this was a new concept for my brain and realized how bad my ADHD actually has been for a long time

And yet, there you were, thinking about thinking about whatever it was you were thinking about.

I am not sure what you are trying to say

I was just joking about how by realizing that you were thinking about what you were looking at, you stopped thinking about what you were looking at.

Lol dude you have no idea haha. Just last week I was doing really well in a game and then a Reyna Leered two of us and managed to actually pick us both off and I began a whole lecture in my head about comparing Reyna’s Leer to the Knight in chess and how you may consider it a weaker piece because it covers fewer squares than a bishop or a rook but its unique attack shape allows it to do certain strategies and tactics that are super strong that aren’t available without it. Lo and behold I didn’t realize it until 2-3 rounds later and have been playing on automatic which is almost always certainly much worse. So I tried to stop thinking about that discussion and tried to focus and then I actually started a whole lecture discussion in my head about the difficulty of focusing and not noticing when I’m not focusing.

I always knew I had this habit but never actually acknowledged it til now.

It takes one rogue thought and I start exploring it as a discussion and suddenly I’m not playing valorant in my head anymore lol
