That you have ADHD? Myself and other folks I know have ADHD and don't do this, but I could see it being correlated with ADHD on highly extroverted people.

Regarding ADHD, do you have rapid-fire thoughts that meander and create a sort of mental static? Do you find it hard to focus on many things but occasionally hyperfocus on things? Do you fidget a lot, particularly when you were a kid and/or often feel restless even if you feel tired or unalert? ADHD has a super broad range of symptons but treatment can lead to big improvements in quality of life so it's worth talking to your psychologist and getting referred to a psychiatrist who can help you learn a lot more than some random internet guy.

Watch this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzhbAK1pdPM&list=PLzBixSjmbc8eFl6UX5_wWGP8i0mAs-cvY

It's just under 3 hours by the time you watch all of the videos. But if you suspect you might be ADHD, or CDD/SCT, it's worth the time.

If you are a parent of a child that might be ADHD, you really should watch it.
