@@highlandoutsider There are at least a couple of kinds of apnea. One is caused by the back of the throat closing off during the relaxation of sleep. The other originates in the brain and causes a failure of the reflex to inhale.

I want to do the same but my parents (specifically my mom) have made comments about my stimming and how it makes me look autistic yet insist I do not have autism. I’m almost dead certain I do but can’t do anything until a diagnosis is provided lmao
Honestly, I'm in the same position as you both. Plus there's the added anxiety that if I do finally get a diagnosis, I'm gonna be stigmatized by the older members of my mother's family. Especially since my mother insists that we stay close to her parents as they're getting older, which I feel has played a large role in me masking anything I really feel, as well as suppressing social urges to be near and/or around them based on past precedent. Sorry it's a lot, just needed to organize my thoughts.
I asked my mom for a doctors visit 2 days ago so I’m hoping 🤞 Also, I have good reason to believe that I either have ADHD or autism because I have a sister and brother with ADHD, a cousin with autism, 2 second cousins with autism, and lastly though not as reliable, my dad shows subtle signs of ADHD (being hyperfocused on one thing at a time and easily distracted by a lot of things/mentally exhausted by the end of the day) I have certain aspects of both ADHD/asd so I’m just gonna say that I have Symptoms Disorder for now
9:20 I'm in the same boat. The rainbow infinity symbol is so generic. I have a badge which has the symbol going through an A so it's at least a little bit more specific. I think ASANs logo is a bit better, the interlocking rainbow circle because we are whole humans
3:21 I feel called out. I FORGET TO BREATHE ALL THE TIME… I also forgot to do my history homework FOR TWO YEARS but all this useless information about video games, anime, and SCPs? Burned into my memory
3:23, that's annoying when that happens. Sometimes I get so caught up in what I am doing that I do literally have to manually breathe because my auto-breathing-mechanism just ceases along with other things like blinking.
and then you go to write it down but forgot what you were supposed to be writing so you don’t write anything but then when you see the pen and paper again you’re like “gotta put those away” and then you find something in a drawer and suddenly it’s 2 months later
4:26 Airplane... The sound of a (people)quiet (Jet Engine Rumbling) Airplane as you're flying at ~30,000+ feet. That's what it sounds like, and why I love riding in airplanes.
Does anyone have issues about saying what your favorite "such and such" is because you don't get the feel good emotions when recalling those things you liked? Am I making any sense?
Yup. I don’t even have a favorite color anymore. I just don’t know. I could tell you colors I don’t like, but my favorite? Not a clue. I began to realize I only changed my favorite color because I started feeling bad for the other colors
I second guess all my decisions so I don't really have a favourite colour. I usually just pick one so I can answer when people ask the question....but then I feel bad for lying and start to overthink it because "What if I do have a favourite colour and I just can't remember" or "Wait is this the colour I chose?" and for some reason I'm really loyal to the colours I've chosen as my fake answer so the colour kinda changes often but I'll keep going back multiple times because "I chose that colour for a reason I shouldn't change it" or because it doesn't fit the image of myself I want to portray. All in all, yeah. Kinda stressful if I'm honest.
My favourite colur is green because that was my dad's favourite colour because my mom liked that colour on him. My second favourite colour is a cherry red because once (1 time) some random person complemented me when I wore a shirt of that colour.
I have the same thing! But I also hate being the first one to say what my favorite thing is. Like really?? You’re not letting me figure out the ✨vibes✨ first?? rude!
9:42 my goodness, whenever I doubt my ADHD, stuff like this hold up a mirror and the doubt vaporizes! I'm delaying a shower while I write this, pacing back and forth through my messy kitchen, and my bedroom needs attention before there's only a path between the door and the bed, but I have to shower and clean the kitchen first. My truck is reasonably tidy only because it's been borrowed and I did a ten-second tidy of embarrassment.
1:01 this is so specific and so accurate to what i do, down to the finest details. i never thought there was a chance that so many other people were doing the same thing. holy fuck. i knew i was neurodivergent but i never considered this was related!! i guess it makes sense now i think about it and how our brains work but oh my godddd
Not enough overlapping voices in the last one, it's a good effort for sure, but there needs to be like 2 more thoughts happening all at once with the current audio. It would be HELL to actually produce though, like... Going into an actual audio program so you can track the voices. Not to mention adding an echo! My thoughts echo and stutter. It's not like in my head there's a clear sounding "I am constructing a sentence right now." unless i focus really hard, otherwise it's more like "I'm I'm con construc constructing a constructing a sen a sentence a sentence right sentence right now right now." but it happens quickly.
Currently taking a not so short break from spending the entire weekend working on assignments from a online class that I could've paced myself with over weeks...I have 4 more units to go and the final closes tmrw morning so... Anyways LOVE this video...made me realize that sometimes I forget to breathe
I sometimes think of way too many things all at once. Like I enter my room at night and literally scan it to check for spiders before I go to bed then notice something and continue like that infinitely. Or once I entered my room to get something and I stood there a moment thinking "Why did I need to come in here?" I think I left the room completely before remembering I needed to get my glasses. Fun fact about me: there are times where I forget whether I have glasses on or not. Once I shook my head to adjust my hair. My glasses flew on the floor and when I put them back on I thought the lenses fell off because they were so clean. Adhd me jumped to conclusion before realizing I can see so they're not broken. Or once I was about to poke my eyes because I entered a shop so I took my sunnies off. As I walked out of the store I didn't remember if I had my prescription glasses on or not. So I almost put my dirty little finger in my eye in 2020. And it's the same thing. I'm stupid enough to not notice I can't or can see.
Sometimes I feel like when everything's peaceful, I'm anxious and essentially just waiting for the inevitable fallout. Then when everybody else is stressed out I feel a weird sense of calm. I dunno, maybe I was just brought up different :P Also, sometimes in order to avoid social interaction I will literally sprint into another room/hide when I hear someone heading towards my direction. I just don't wanna deal, you know?
Ah, my childhood. I always preferred my room because I didn’t have to mask my behavior to fit in with my family. I don’t have to explain myself and pretend. And I’m used to yelling, screaming, fighting, drama. But peace, I haven’t known real peace in over a decade until I moved out recently
@@MethuselahWinter wow, it must have been very damaging to grow up in such a dysfunctional/abusive environment. i hope you have many people around you who are supporting you since you have moved out and that you have a nice life journey!!
the one about the lost card hit me hard. I moved to a bigger city, and had to start using public transport (before I only walked or used a bicycle). I strugled a lot to even LEARN how to get a bus, and it took me 3 F* YEARS just to get the damm bus card. Very fun times Edit: OH MY GOD TGE LAST ONE. IT SEEMS SOMENE PEEKED INSIDE MY BRAIN, AND I DON'T LIKE IT
The dressing-down around 8:04 wopped me in my blindside like a bat and left me mentally bleeding out under my covers. This attack was unprovoked, unnecessary, and out of line. I'm pressing charges. I grabbing my comfort character to be my lawyer, and you will pay me restitution for the atrocities you committed against me. Disrespectful😡 ... I'm... I've been so exposed...🥺 😭
I genuinely don't understand how people can pick a task to do...and then just do it. Like, how? Even if I manage to stay on task on my way to where I was going to do something I'd immediately forget what I'm supposed to be doing and either pause for a very long moment and try to remember it, retrace my steps multiple times to try and remember it, go on and do something else that I noticed, or the rare occasions where I actually remember the original task. And then I get bored of the original task and have to switch to something else because my brain isn't getting enough stimulation. The constant music going on in my room? White noise cause I need it to focus. That's why you only hear one song on loop for hours because if I change the song then I acknowledge the background noise and lose my focus on the thing I need to do. And when the music doesn't work I head over to podcasts. And if that still doesn't work I put on either RUclips or Netflix in the background because if I find the right show or video I can ignore them easily. On RUclips I tend to watch Minecraft videos by people like Grian and Scott Smajor, and on Netflix it's shows that I've already completed and already know what will happen so I can ignore them while still getting that stimulation. And I've gone on a tangent completely unrelated to the first topic, and since I'm on my phone rn, I can't see everything I've typed which is making me wonder what the original topic I was talking about it cause I don't remember :') Edit: OKAY RE-READ THE COMMENT, IT WAS ABOUT FOCUSING ON ONE TASK AT A TIME LMAO I STILL FAILED
1:05 dgdgdgsgegdgdhdhdgehs * glances at my 250+ song playlist that I only listen to like 8 songs of * called me out Do NTs really have separate playlists!?
The last one reminded me that I've nearly ran out of my meds and need to contact my therapist for them, which I had meant to do somewhere last week already (and will probably forget for another week)
3:24 I need to explain this to my mother who will sometimes hear me “sigh” and ask me what’s wrong. I didn’t know I was allowed to just tell her that I forgot to breathe because that sentence sounds insane to other people and even kinda myself
Video: I feel like my brain is a browser that has 35+ tabs open Me: cool, I’ve never really noticed that in me though. Also me: I like that pink background. There’s a string loose on my blanket. I’m going to Chicago in a day and I still haven’t packed. What show will I binge watch in Chicago. I wonder what my schedule for the next school year will be. My shirt is nice. I want to wear what I’m wearing on the airplane. These noise cancelling headphones are working well. My 5 hour playlist will be good for the plane. Do I add one of the versions of Six to the playlist. If so, which one. It’s 5 in the morning. Yay. I like my squishy bird
I kind of combined the gold infinity A and the rainbow infinity into an autism specific symbol. It's supposed to look like an A with the triangle-esque part in gold, and then the cross-bar part in the middle is a rainbow infinity. I made it my tik tok profile picture.
One thing that gets on my nerves is when someone says “oh, you don’t act OCD/every other disorder I have”, like no, I do not act obsessive compulsive disorder, what you mean is “you don’t act like you have OCD”! Like “oh, you don’t act DCD” no, I don’t act developmental coordination disorder.
@9:00 Ok but the rule thing is me. Why have a rule that everyone breaks, it gives me so much anxiety breaking the rule but like everyone does it and its less work. Also everything she used as an explanation is stuff i do…i shouod really get tested lol 😂
Ngl I had to stop that last clip for a second because all the background lines were bothering me. I don't know how ADHD people can live with that in their brain, but I guess it's why you do better with meds
5:22 because i feel anxious because I'm making you go out of your way to do something for me, and since it's for me how important can it really be anyway? hoo boy i have a lot of stowaway thoughts from my self-loathing days wooOOO (also if you say 'just ask' i will assume you don't mean it and want me to stay out of your way, and so will do that instead. )
The ADHD simulator one is genius. I've shown it to people and they were like: "Wait.. that's what it's like THE WHOLE TIME? That's not exaggerated?? How are you even still alive?" Mmmmmyep.
9:16 exactly. Im stil so suprised that we have not yet collectivly agreed on Trexes or aliens being our symbol. We stand like them and we act/comunicate like them. And i would love to get an autistic trex tattood on me.
I really wish my Dad had gotten me evaluated for ASD and ADHD like my pediatrician wanted. I want to get a diagnosis but I have little free time and zero spending money.
You can get your bank ap and take a photo of it and do it from home. If leaving the house to do it is your ‘obstacle’ Ha, now if only I had advice for my own crap- like the laundry I’ve washed all week and will need to be te washed tomorrow cause, no, I didn’t forget about it. I remembered. Getting to the laundry room is another story

So the person who was bothered by a sound when using headphones decided it was smart to post it which probably ended up bothering a lot of other people who wear their headphones near constantly......am i missing something here? Like why?

3:21 I feel called out. I FORGET TO BREATHE ALL THE TIME… I also forgot to do my history homework FOR TWO YEARS but all this useless information about video games, anime, and SCPs? Burned into my memory
3:23, that's annoying when that happens. Sometimes I get so caught up in what I am doing that I do literally have to manually breathe because my auto-breathing-mechanism just ceases along with other things like blinking.
4:20 this sound is called Calm Cool Kitten by Pet Therapy (it's on Shazam). Also it sounds like that rolling thunder sound I can do in my ears :3
and then you go to write it down but forgot what you were supposed to be writing so you don’t write anything but then when you see the pen and paper again you’re like “gotta put those away” and then you find something in a drawer and suddenly it’s 2 months later
4:26 Airplane... The sound of a (people)quiet (Jet Engine Rumbling) Airplane as you're flying at ~30,000+ feet. That's what it sounds like, and why I love riding in airplanes.
Does anyone have issues about saying what your favorite "such and such" is because you don't get the feel good emotions when recalling those things you liked?
Am I making any sense?
Yup. I don’t even have a favorite color anymore. I just don’t know. I could tell you colors I don’t like, but my favorite? Not a clue. I began to realize I only changed my favorite color because I started feeling bad for the other colors
I second guess all my decisions so I don't really have a favourite colour. I usually just pick one so I can answer when people ask the question....but then I feel bad for lying and start to overthink it because "What if I do have a favourite colour and I just can't remember" or "Wait is this the colour I chose?" and for some reason I'm really loyal to the colours I've chosen as my fake answer so the colour kinda changes often but I'll keep going back multiple times because "I chose that colour for a reason I shouldn't change it" or because it doesn't fit the image of myself I want to portray.
All in all, yeah. Kinda stressful if I'm honest.
My favourite colur is green because that was my dad's favourite colour because my mom liked that colour on him. My second favourite colour is a cherry red because once (1 time) some random person complemented me when I wore a shirt of that colour.
I have the same thing! But I also hate being the first one to say what my favorite thing is. Like really?? You’re not letting me figure out the ✨vibes✨ first?? rude!
9:42 my goodness, whenever I doubt my ADHD, stuff like this hold up a mirror and the doubt vaporizes! I'm delaying a shower while I write this, pacing back and forth through my messy kitchen, and my bedroom needs attention before there's only a path between the door and the bed, but I have to shower and clean the kitchen first.
My truck is reasonably tidy only because it's been borrowed and I did a ten-second tidy of embarrassment.
hello :D congrats on 1k!
Thanks👊
1:01 this is so specific and so accurate to what i do, down to the finest details. i never thought there was a chance that so many other people were doing the same thing. holy fuck. i knew i was neurodivergent but i never considered this was related!! i guess it makes sense now i think about it and how our brains work but oh my godddd
Not enough overlapping voices in the last one, it's a good effort for sure, but there needs to be like 2 more thoughts happening all at once with the current audio. It would be HELL to actually produce though, like... Going into an actual audio program so you can track the voices. Not to mention adding an echo! My thoughts echo and stutter. It's not like in my head there's a clear sounding "I am constructing a sentence right now." unless i focus really hard, otherwise it's more like "I'm I'm con construc constructing a constructing a sen a sentence a sentence right sentence right now right now." but it happens quickly.
Currently taking a not so short break from spending the entire weekend working on assignments from a online class that I could've paced myself with over weeks...I have 4 more units to go and the final closes tmrw morning so...
Anyways LOVE this video...made me realize that sometimes I forget to breathe
...I already knew that I'm neurodivergent...I just didn't expect these to hit so HARD
I sometimes think of way too many things all at once. Like I enter my room at night and literally scan it to check for spiders before I go to bed then notice something and continue like that infinitely. Or once I entered my room to get something and I stood there a moment thinking "Why did I need to come in here?" I think I left the room completely before remembering I needed to get my glasses. Fun fact about me: there are times where I forget whether I have glasses on or not. Once I shook my head to adjust my hair. My glasses flew on the floor and when I put them back on I thought the lenses fell off because they were so clean. Adhd me jumped to conclusion before realizing I can see so they're not broken. Or once I was about to poke my eyes because I entered a shop so I took my sunnies off. As I walked out of the store I didn't remember if I had my prescription glasses on or not. So I almost put my dirty little finger in my eye in 2020. And it's the same thing. I'm stupid enough to not notice I can't or can see.
Sometimes I feel like when everything's peaceful, I'm anxious and essentially just waiting for the inevitable fallout. Then when everybody else is stressed out I feel a weird sense of calm. I dunno, maybe I was just brought up different :P
Also, sometimes in order to avoid social interaction I will literally sprint into another room/hide when I hear someone heading towards my direction. I just don't wanna deal, you know?
Ah, my childhood. I always preferred my room because I didn’t have to mask my behavior to fit in with my family. I don’t have to explain myself and pretend. And I’m used to yelling, screaming, fighting, drama. But peace, I haven’t known real peace in over a decade until I moved out recently
Both of these comments are so relatable
@@MethuselahWinter wow, it must have been very damaging to grow up in such a dysfunctional/abusive environment. i hope you have many people around you who are supporting you since you have moved out and that you have a nice life journey!!
4:21, for those wondering, searching "Brown Noise" on RUclips brings up a lot of sounds like this. Super helpful!
thank you so fucking much
I'm SORRY. OTHER PEOPLES BRAINS DONT SOUND LIKE THAT LAST ONE? I-
the one about the lost card hit me hard. I moved to a bigger city, and had to start using public transport (before I only walked or used a bicycle). I strugled a lot to even LEARN how to get a bus, and it took me 3 F* YEARS just to get the damm bus card. Very fun times
Edit: OH MY GOD TGE LAST ONE. IT SEEMS SOMENE PEEKED INSIDE MY BRAIN, AND I DON'T LIKE IT
The sim reference was it for me 🥲💀😂
The dressing-down around 8:04 wopped me in my blindside like a bat and left me mentally bleeding out under my covers. This attack was unprovoked, unnecessary, and out of line. I'm pressing charges. I grabbing my comfort character to be my lawyer, and you will pay me restitution for the atrocities you committed against me. Disrespectful😡 ... I'm... I've been so exposed...🥺 😭
I genuinely don't understand how people can pick a task to do...and then just do it. Like, how? Even if I manage to stay on task on my way to where I was going to do something I'd immediately forget what I'm supposed to be doing and either pause for a very long moment and try to remember it, retrace my steps multiple times to try and remember it, go on and do something else that I noticed, or the rare occasions where I actually remember the original task. And then I get bored of the original task and have to switch to something else because my brain isn't getting enough stimulation. The constant music going on in my room? White noise cause I need it to focus. That's why you only hear one song on loop for hours because if I change the song then I acknowledge the background noise and lose my focus on the thing I need to do. And when the music doesn't work I head over to podcasts. And if that still doesn't work I put on either RUclips or Netflix in the background because if I find the right show or video I can ignore them easily. On RUclips I tend to watch Minecraft videos by people like Grian and Scott Smajor, and on Netflix it's shows that I've already completed and already know what will happen so I can ignore them while still getting that stimulation. And I've gone on a tangent completely unrelated to the first topic, and since I'm on my phone rn, I can't see everything I've typed which is making me wonder what the original topic I was talking about it cause I don't remember :')
Edit: OKAY RE-READ THE COMMENT, IT WAS ABOUT FOCUSING ON ONE TASK AT A TIME LMAO I STILL FAILED
Not me forgetting to breathe during the video where he says that people with ADHD forget to breathe
10:10
...that looks eerily similar to my room....
...how can I get checked for ADHD...?
1:05 dgdgdgsgegdgdhdhdgehs * glances at my 250+ song playlist that I only listen to like 8 songs of * called me out
Do NTs really have separate playlists!?
That last one is literally me. One of my cats is a tuxedo cat too, lol
1:04 Nah cuz y'all don't understand how fucking shocked I am.
THIS IS LITERALLY ME WTFFFF???? I thought it was only me dude
The last one reminded me that I've nearly ran out of my meds and need to contact my therapist for them, which I had meant to do somewhere last week already (and will probably forget for another week)
3:24 I need to explain this to my mother who will sometimes hear me “sigh” and ask me what’s wrong. I didn’t know I was allowed to just tell her that I forgot to breathe because that sentence sounds insane to other people and even kinda myself
Me @ the last one: SHE NEVER WROTE IT DOWN!! 😭🤦♀️😂😂
It's like angry soup that your swimming in and it doesn't go away.
legend says they still never wrote it down
Does anyone else get told to look someone in the eyes? But how? I can either look at one eye or inbetween their eyes
Video: I feel like my brain is a browser that has 35+ tabs open
Me: cool, I’ve never really noticed that in me though.
Also me: I like that pink background. There’s a string loose on my blanket. I’m going to Chicago in a day and I still haven’t packed. What show will I binge watch in Chicago. I wonder what my schedule for the next school year will be. My shirt is nice. I want to wear what I’m wearing on the airplane. These noise cancelling headphones are working well. My 5 hour playlist will be good for the plane. Do I add one of the versions of Six to the playlist. If so, which one. It’s 5 in the morning. Yay. I like my squishy bird
9:13 After I get diagnosed with autism, I have to get that tattoo lmao
I kind of combined the gold infinity A and the rainbow infinity into an autism specific symbol.
It's supposed to look like an A with the triangle-esque part in gold, and then the cross-bar part in the middle is a rainbow infinity. I made it my tik tok profile picture.
4:23 brown noise 🤌i listen to it every night
3:20 I also forgot to breathe until he reminded me. Ugh.
One thing that gets on my nerves is when someone says “oh, you don’t act OCD/every other disorder I have”, like no, I do not act obsessive compulsive disorder, what you mean is “you don’t act like you have OCD”!
Like “oh, you don’t act DCD” no, I don’t act developmental coordination disorder.
I thought I was the only person who forgets to breath >-> especially when I'm super anxious or scared.
That last one made me forget the initial goal by the time they entered the bedroom lmao
@9:00 Ok but the rule thing is me. Why have a rule that everyone breaks, it gives me so much anxiety breaking the rule but like everyone does it and its less work. Also everything she used as an explanation is stuff i do…i shouod really get tested lol 😂
4:21 the white noise **repeatedly clicks to loop**
Is it just me, or is like…. Are Memojis not the greatest thing ever? Do other neurodivergents love it as much as I do? It’s just so fun!
i still plug my ears every time i flush the toilet or turn on the shower
can anyone find the white noise from 4:21 seconds pls?
Dude just reminded me I need to breathe omg
Ngl I had to stop that last clip for a second because all the background lines were bothering me. I don't know how ADHD people can live with that in their brain, but I guess it's why you do better with meds
5:22 because i feel anxious because I'm making you go out of your way to do something for me, and since it's for me how important can it really be anyway?
hoo boy i have a lot of stowaway thoughts from my self-loathing days wooOOO
(also if you say 'just ask' i will assume you don't mean it and want me to stay out of your way, and so will do that instead. )
9:23 No, you draw bees and dragons with that as the wings.
The ADHD simulator one is genius. I've shown it to people and they were like: "Wait.. that's what it's like THE WHOLE TIME? That's not exaggerated?? How are you even still alive?"
Mmmmmyep.
05:00 this is verbatim one of The Holistic Psychologist's posts. Hmm.
Why did I start bawling at 5:30 ? I feel so called out. 😭
I do this so often bc I’m terrified of being needy but I’m also a high needs person 😭
“Random 2am apartment purges” stop spying on me and my nocturnal quirks!
GIFTED REPRESENTATION!!!!!!
3:12 omg I do that too!
Like a lot …it’s kinda concerning
00:25 what's the song please?
9:16 exactly. Im stil so suprised that we have not yet collectivly agreed on Trexes or aliens being our symbol.
We stand like them and we act/comunicate like them.
And i would love to get an autistic trex tattood on me.
I really wish my Dad had gotten me evaluated for ASD and ADHD like my pediatrician wanted. I want to get a diagnosis but I have little free time and zero spending money.
Omg i didnt know anybody else did the breathing thing!
I’ve had a cheque since March that I know I can cash in by putting it in a machine at my bank. It’s been three months and I keep looking at it.
You can get your bank ap and take a photo of it and do it from home. If leaving the house to do it is your ‘obstacle’
Ha, now if only I had advice for my own crap- like the laundry I’ve washed all week and will need to be te washed tomorrow cause, no, I didn’t forget about it. I remembered. Getting to the laundry room is another story
@@heartsmyfaceforever8140 imma look into the app thing, thanks. I relate to the laundry stuff, currently looking at it and have been for far too long now.
If you didn't know, checks can expire, so I hope you're able to do it before then. You got this!
Lol I forget to breathe too but it's cuz of GAD giving me constant tension
4:51 I don't get it ): can someone explain please??
Hey flash back to Connors shoe painting hyperfixation 😜
I 🫶🏽 these ones, but why are the words all blurry?
yeah, I forget to breath (oops) and eat, I relate to quite a lot of other stuff in these too. I think I might have adhd
My mind. Every freaking video!!!
Is it just me or does everyone else relate to the one aout music? just me? ok
0:44 Me except I might also have social anxiety-
Omg the fucking forgot to breathe hits home…so focused that I forgot to do shit to stay alive
Can there pls be captions, I’m sorry but if I don’t like someone’s voice, how else am I supposed to listen without captions?
OMG I never saw someone else with adhd who forgets to breathe!
So the person who was bothered by a sound when using headphones decided it was smart to post it which probably ended up bothering a lot of other people who wear their headphones near constantly......am i missing something here? Like why?
i’m pretty sure they were saying they really enjoyed that sound and wanted to share it with others :)
@@mysticwolf1358 ah yes you are correct, I misread. That sound so drove me nuts.
@@LittleCheetahCub yeah i wasn't a big fan of it either, but to each their own. i saved this clip from another compilation video that i think sounds a lot better with headphones if you wanna check it out ruclips.net/user/clipUgkxzZ6sAzuR8C_AzgNmwCeKcjG4UIfk_wUU
Just forgot everything I watched
5:02 how did you get this footage of me /j
I really wanted to try to capture in a video what my thoughta were all at once as well..all the distractions....have 4,000 plus tabs open...
0:59 this hit so hard having adhd 😂😂😂😂
What is the name of the last tiktoker?
i relate to what they said at 6:56
I forgot to breath....
