    It’s actually probably the single most common ADHD trait. It’s the “attention deficit” in ADHD; can’t force the brain to change focus from doom scrolling into whatever you actually want/need to do.

      I really dislike the name “attention deficit”. We can totally pay attention to things, what we have problems with is controlling where the attention stays or is directed to. There’s also a problem where our brain doesn’t properly generate motivation from us just wanting to do something because that function became disabled with ADHD.
