In the right situation I can literally entertain myself for hours just daydreaming (hyperfantasia) but the second I go to try and do something like play a video game or watch tv my brain just stops and I have to go do something else within 20 minutes or i get bored. I write a lot but I have to have a youtube video playing on the side of my screen while I write, because it keeps my brain entertained while I write. I knit while watching tv with my friend or family because I will get distracted otherwise and stop watching. I take activities like drawing or cross stitching into theaters to watch movies because I literally can't focus on them without another brainless task keeping me focused. But if I try knitting, drawing, etc without the tv, the movie, the YouTube video, i get bored easily and will quit. I can't sleep sometimes because I get so distracted, and I don't hyperfocus on anything. Going on long flights is a nightmare for me because I can't use any of my usual focusing methods and I end up switching between things every five minutes for however long the flight takes. Its an actual nightmare and it means I take triple the time to finish a task. I assume i must have some form off adhd but I don't think its meant to be so bad that I literally cannot maintain focus on anything without having multiple things entertaining me. None of my friends with adhd are this bad, and they can hyperfocus, a skill which i am unable to attain. I honestly don't know why I am like this. I can't get a diagnosis because its apparently very likely that I sugger from adhd and I can't become a pilot with adhd. I honestly don't know.
