Your thoughts?

I feel like my attention is bad now compared to where it was… or is possibly still getting worse… Honestly, what a bother… I deal with a lot, C-PTSD and ADHD, both of which hurt my attention. The attention economy compounds it further. Now I am less mentally than I could be or so it seems.

What do you think? Video is 25 minutes long so not too long, imho.

    Dunno if this is the same thing as what you’re describing, but makes me think of ADHD hyperfocus (or hyperfixation?) which can also happen with ASD as I understand. But ADHD is more the one where it shows up as a seeming vacillation between hyperfocus and inattentiveness.

    Like the right kind of video game and gameplay loop, I could easily fixate on for hours. But if you put something in front of me that my brain (for reasons I don’t have much say in) finds “boring”, I may struggle to stay engaged for five minutes.
