Ok, shut up. Here's the 3 major syptoms of ADHD.
1 - Lack of attention. Ok, I don't care about much of what my teachers say. I don't listen. Most of the time the teachers have to tell me to stop playing with my TI-86 Mario and its level editor during class. Happens at least twice a day. In fact, I listen less to people I talk to...
Mom: Steve, do you -blah blah blah ... other crap- this?
Steve: *Momentary pause, accompanied by glazed stare* What? I didn't hear you.
That happens far too often.
2 - Inability to sit still. This is probably the worst of the 3 for me. I pace around the room all the time, get up in class all the time, and also have to be playing with something in my hands (Usually a pen.) during class. Even when I eat, at least 5 times a meal I get up for no reason whatsoever, mainly because I can't stay there without getting bored out of my mind.
3 - Impulsive decisions. Well, I don't make a lot of impulsive DECISIONS, but a great deal of impulsive comments. I ramble in school all the time about how I hate people and how I don't think some people deserve to live. I say things without realising what effects they have on others. I insult people unknowingly all the time: (ACTUAL conversation from about a month ago)
Girl: I didn't fail! I got a 70% Yes! Oh my God, I'm so happy!
Steve: You only got a 70%? AND YOU'RE PROUD OF IT??? You're dumb, you know that? If you had any intelligence, maybe you'd be NOT content with crappy scores like that! Take me! I got a 93%! That sucks! Awful! You don't see me very proud! And that's 23% higher than you!
Girl: ... You're mean!
Steve: No, tactless. There's a difference. Mean is when you realize you hurt other people's feelings. Tactless is when you say things without realizing their effects on others.
Girl: But you know you did! You explained it there!
Steve: Afraid not. I didn't realise it until you said something. Then it's too late. I apologize. You aren't dumb. But I still think 70% isn't an acceptable score. Bear with me here. My standards are unhealthily high.
Girl: *sarcasticly* Oh, gee, thanks. *Laughs*
Steve: Riiiiight. *Crumbles the 93% into a ball and throws it away in anger*
(As you can tell, I am also a Type A perfectionist.)
If you need proof, read some of the things I post. Especially my anti-Destiny's Child views. Just think about some of the things I type in the post box but later remove. Many tyrades and insulting comments have been avoided at the last minute.
And there you have it. ADHD is NOT a government conspiracy, it is more than likely due to hypoactive brain activity. There's something called a BRAIN SCAN than checks for these things.
I may also be obsessive/compulsive. I'm a real genetic blunder, aren't I?
Everyone has their own opinions, no matter how WRONG they are.
