My friends and I dropped ADHD meds at an outdoor concert. They were having fun and having a good time and I sat down in the grass and replied to some school emails and did a handful of tasks that I have been putting off.

It was the first time in my life that I wasn't unintentionally listening to everyone's conversations at the exact same time and solutioning their problems all at the same time.

I ended up going to Mexico and going into a reputable doctor and purchased ADHD meds. I later in life went to a doctor and got diagnosed.

Wait wait wait. Is the hearing all the conversations around you an ADHD thing? Are you serious? I just thought it was like, an ability.

It's a curse

It puts my brain to 150% processing and I just wanna listen to one conversation and aaaaaa

Even when I can't listen to the dozens of voices due to them being nearly inaudible it still enables the part of my brain to try to decode them, so about 75% is used to try to listen to words that I don't even wanna listen to

This is why ANC is heaven
