do I have ADD?

k i always thought ADD means just either being super hyper, or being super lazy...

i never thought i had it ...but reading more and more about it makes me wonder...

here's me:


it's rare for me to not spill food or drinks on myself whenever i eat and drink (friends say i have a "drinking problem" lol..think the movie "airplane"..cuz he had a "drinking problem"...)

donno, i pick up the cup to drink, and MY MOUTH MISSES THE HAND HOLDING THE CUP AND I SPILL!! 🙁

i always zone out big time,

i ALWAYS get lost in conversations....(i ALWAYS ALWAYS forget what i'm talking about...always have to ask the person i'm talking to "uhh what were we talking about again?"..it's friggin annoying!!! 🙁 )

i ALWAYS have to have the person who's talking to me to say what he just said again..ALWAYS ALWAYS have to do this...i hate it...

i can never understand a complex movie w/o subtitles (well, that's why i only like mindless action movies...anything w/ a crazy plot i totally get lost in.....i have to watch it multiple times to understand it. I watched Mission Impossible for the 3rd time finally on DVD w/ subtitles...finally i was able to understand the movie).

i NEVER NEVER understand what the hell is going on in lecture..of course it was like this since elementary school...whatever i don't understand in class, i make it up by reading the book like insane and practice the material like insane to finally understand stuff....

it's hard for me to understand figure of speeches...

i'm super gullible...

i see a car in front of me stopped...but i don't stop myself until the passenger tells me to stop, then i realize what's going on...

max payne 2...even w/ subtitles, i never really understood the storyline.....ah well...

when someone's talking to me, i kinda knw he's talking to me, but i inadvertendly ignore him...but deep inside my head, i KNOW he's talking to me, but for some reason my body and mouth isn't responding to him to talk back to him..this happens a lot...

i always forget things and lose things..

i never got a perfect in any exam whatsoever in my life (but still managed a 3.8 gpa in high school and be an electrical engineering major @ UCSD)...it's always some stupid mistake (1+1 = 1 kinda stuff)


but i still don't think i have it because i'm doing ok (but not great) as an electrical engineering major here at UCSD...

Sounds like ADD to me. Congrats - you now have a universal excuse for failure.

yeah i always thought it was a stupid excuse..but if i can go to a doc and take some of that medicine to help me...i guess that'll be great...
