You mean you don’t hyper fixate on a few uncomfortable moments from your past and hold grudges based on those?

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 year ago

I barely remember my own life so I indeed don't hold grudges because I have no idea why I held them or if it was actually my fault that something happened.

[–] argentcorvid@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, that too.

I do this often, so not sure every ADHD symptom is common to everyone.

[–] weirdingmodule@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 year ago

That's definitely my flavor of ADHD.

I mean, i do that too, but it's always something i did rather than something others did to me.

When others are shitty to me, it usually doesn't stick with me for long, because although bad at the moment, it wasn't my fault, so i'm guilt free.

„Here's the ten bucks you let me borrow, sorry it took so long, I hope you aren't angry at me“

I gave this person money?

You just reminded me of how some years ago I found my wallet that I totally forgot about behind my bed because it fell in there. The joy is real.

Finding old christmas cards you never took the money out of is the best

Sometimes I leave money in glove boxes, cupboards, and whatnot as a surprise to my future self.

Omg, this had happened to me a few times, hahaha.

I was featured in a story told by someone at a funeral regarding some disagreement/fight I and the deceased had.

Don't remember it at all, nothing about it even rang a bell.

Mine is a fun sort of specific. Years later, I'll remember that I hate a person's guts but will completely forget why I hate them. But that visceral hate stays with me.

I recently had a conversation with my ex-fiancée of 15 years and she was apologizing for things I didn't even remember her doing. But I remember the bitterness from those things.

People will forget what you do, forget what you say, but they'll never forget how your make them feel.

Most of the time when I'm replying to posts I'm doubting if what I'm typing is related at all to the post because I forgor what it's about as soon as I'm at the comment box and I just hope nobody notices when/if I'm typing pure bullshit.

My memory is such shit but I guess for stuff between me and my best friend I used to have it did help that I was never able to hold a grudge. I learned apologizing real quick and the last few arguments we had I apologized to her within a minute or two of starting the argument because I didn't want to lose her anymore (though we used to always come back to each other sooner or later anyways). Not the last one we had though, I miss her with every last piece of my heart 💔.

So much time.

Wait, bad memory is a sign of ADHD?

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

As someone with adhd let me also tell you one of my favorite internet quotes of all time:

Every pees too but if you’re peeing 60 times a day that’s when you see a doctor

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I only hold one single grudge in my life. The one fucker in high-school who took the accountant role when my mother died of cancer, took the money my class raised for my family, and spent them on luxury stuff for himself.

...Please tell me something happened to him in legal terms.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha no... However they got hit by "divine justice" The same day they bought these, they got hit in the street by a motorcycle and ended up in the hospital.

That's why you need to read Building A Second Brain by Tiago Forte. Then you can just have you Little Black Book in the cloud so you never forget.
