And then an external exceedingly long & wordy video that I got bored with half way through & gave up. Why do they do that? What does it actually achieve? I’d like to hear the solution but for goodness sake get to the point……🙄
Okay I opened the video and then I remembered to check what's app, and then I went back to RUclips and started scrolling through shorts and suddenly remembered that I was watching this video and most importantly I was studying in the first place and now I don't know why I'm here 😂
Same for me and additionally I never prepare for meetings because I am overwhelmed or I feel parallelized and in the meeting itself my ideas are coming into my mind again but because I am unprepared I am not able to underly my ideas with arguments and details. So I lose everytime.
I have bipolar 1 and ADHD. I have hundreds of books I have only read a few pages from but I occasionally try to buy ones that will go up in value to justify it! 🤣
I think that’s just having short attention span which is especially common now in todays world of consuming quick content and short attention span unless u remember u need to do the dishes lol
It's crazy when your body needs a break from overperforming, but your mind is in crisis to overperform. There should be like a Juice or some snack hack - that helps compensate the tiredness.
First responder here for 12 years, the best years of my life 😁 I have always wondered why my brain is completely calm and clear in the most dangerous situations in life...
I myself get quite calculating and steely in situations that make NTs go off their rocker, and it sometimes spooks them. It’s rather strange how that works; norepinephrine seems to have a sort of calming effect on its own, almost a sort of moment of all forces of the mind suddenly align into one focused point, instead of hurtling off through different trains of thought. What a strange thing, biochemistry.
I'm ADHD and this guy is exactly right when it comes to mathematics I can't show the working out but I can get the answer but if you fail to show the working out on paper you fail the exam
I actually got in trouble in junior high for this. The teacher put a problem on the black board and said we had the entire class period to solve it. I figured it out in about 10 minutes in my head, wrote the answer on my paper and started doodling. She asked how I got the answer without working it out on the paper. I told her I did it in my head. She told me it was impossible and yet I had the correct answer.
Me experienced very similar situation several times. Once, as soon as the teacher finished reading the question the answer suddenly appeared in my mind. When he told me to explain using regular formulas i couldn't do it. I showed my way teacher barely understood and told me that solution is way too complicated. But it works and blazing fast for me.@@donaldharkness1325
Same here in grade 7 the math teacher said I must have cheated as had all the answers but did not show my work. I said I passed my test in long before everyone else so who did I cheat off of. My mother said to put my questions on board and see if I could solve. I did and had to learn not to correct his answers as sometimes he was wrong. He could not stand me It is said as just got diagnosed with adhd at 50. It explains a lot about how things have gone up to this point. My last cio said I was a square peg in a round hole. Yet when something was going pear shaped they would bring me in to help with problem solving
Same… it takes willpower to listen to those voices tho I swear,,. I argue with them 😅😅😅I like to see good in everyone and everyone don’t have good it seems lol
This is Ed from ADHD Vision. You explained why I excelled in physical chemistry exams in graduate school, even though I could not do the required calculus math.
1. I am the opposite regarding the big picture. I get so lost in things, that I cannot pull away and have a very bad time seeing the big picture 2. I am more likely to start a business, because I cannot see the problems coming. But then avoid doing accounting bc its very boring and get problems with IRS 3. I don't know the answer, but I know when situations around me are safe or shady when travelling 4. I have had a person die on my hands and I have saved a few people afterwards in life. Nobody else did anything. But I was completely focused and calm. I noticed that high stakes situations make me calm. It has a downside of wanting to get into arguments and conflicts on purpose. I think it might be the reason why jails are full of ADHD people. We act, we don't think about consequences, we are calm. 5. Oh hyperfocus is like magic. But the problem is controlling it. Getting hyper-focused on some obscure random topic that nobody cares about is not that useful in reality.
Bro that’s crazy. Whenever I did math I could never remember how to do it but would always find the right solutions by creating my own methods to the solution.
Spot on . Everything u said I can relate 100% to it. We have too many blessings , yet we tend to focus on the downside of ADHD. I am an entrepreneur, I run one of the top consulting companies for international development. I strongly believe I wouldn't have done it if I were a normal person
@waelsallak6522 It is inspiring to hear when people make a positive out of what could be negative esp after schooling & a lifetime of poor feedback. Early life experiences mould you. I read recently that autism is hyper-focus whereas adhd is hyper-distraction?
@@Domdeone1 Its never too late. I am 47 and from nothing in 2 years I will be doing a degree, I don't know what in yet but I plan on getting 3 A*'s from my diploma and taking my pick when the time comes!
@bbybeatboxx well done. It is inspiring esp if you can hyper-focus on a subject. I have interests from history to illustrating architecture but distractibility & avoidance gets in the way. Think they call it PDA.
Thank you so much for this video. As someone who's recently been diagnosed with ADHD, I felt like sh*t and I'm sure you've been there before and you understand. These types of videos make me accept the fact that I'm ADHDer and realize that it's sometimes can be a blessing. Plz do more of these videos 🤍
I don't understand how other Adhd people learn how to do youtube channels. I need to learn so many things. I can't even get myself to OPEN an email app. It's STUFFED.
I agree with the potential benefits of ADHD. However, I also have ASD Level 1 which is often at odd with ADHD as it makes me very cautious with a strong need for organization. Add to that a very early history (started age 2 through age 9) of prolonged incest in a very violent large family which created a deep fear and distrust of people. I have a lot of panic and fear. Cant shake it. Have considered trying MDMA or psilocybin therapy. Your thoughts?
One of the downsides of adhd hyperfocus is that I lose all interest in anything else. This is most disastrous when it comes to relationships. I usually just want to be left alone in my activities.
That's me! The more I Iearn about it, the more I accept myself and allow this superpower to develop even further, even though all my life others thought there was something very wrong with me.
I've noticed that having ADHD and being on autism spectrum conflict with each other very much a lot. All the social interaction sides that ADHD provides are conflicted with my autism and I struggle even more.
I’m glad someone else is talking about this, if harnessed we truly do have a super power! The ability to hyper focus and fail fast is our best trait OIM
Approaching strangers without context scares me into a fight or flight state. But when I perceive an invitation, even if the other party is unaware, I confidently make the approach. The invitation could simply be a person wearing a Pink Floyd t-shirt. Since they're my favorite band, I FEEL (keyword: feel) invited to tell a stranger passing by, "nice shirt!" At big networking events or parties, if there's anything that genuinely makes me interested in approaching, I do it without hesitation. But if my inner critic says, "you should go talk to them," when no part of me feels compelled and yet I still go talk to them, I make the biggest ass of myself and feel anxious as hell while doing it.
What a crazy video. The accuracy is 100%. I have been saying I have super power forever. It not a me problem but a you problem. I feel comfortable at 1000m/h. I cannot go 100m/h for a long time.
✨ Summary: - ADHD leads to lower and more volatile levels of mood, motivation, and focus due to dopamine deficiency, making it easy to get sidetracked by quick dopamine hits from activities like social media and junk food. - Creating sustainable systems for natural dopamine, such as cold showers, exercise, and healthy foods, can improve mood, motivation, and focus over time. - Open communication about ADHD tendencies, like ghosting friends and loved ones, can strengthen relationships and prevent misunderstandings. - Introducing new activities and environments can help maintain interest and motivation, as ADHD brains are stimulated by novelty. - Working in sprints rather than trying to maintain a steady pace can align better with how ADHD brains function, leveraging bursts of intense focus and motivation to complete tasks efficiently.
3:06 "It's like you're a new person." Boom. Those words just made me realize a lot about myself, but mostly that I would always be absorbed into new fun skills I would learn like Rollerskating and new video games. I was so invested in learning the new, that I would oftentimes find myself feeling like someone entirely different.
Being both an autist and ADHDer means that while focus is an immense challenge if the topic isn’t interesting, if I am invested in a matter I do absolutely phenomenal at it. Part of the reason I keep things extremely neat and clean is because with the two combined, I not only prefer neatness, but once I begin cleaning, I do not stop doing so until it is completed in the most meticulous form possible.
So i lived in a van for a few months back in 2021, and I am moving into another one at the end of this month. I NEED the stimulus. Sleeping in a parking lot and being surrounded by those noises, best sleep I have EVER had.
Also before that first band and before the apartment before that I had a very expensive and very shitty rent house. When it was time to move out we did not start packing until the day we had to be completely moved out had an entire garage sale that day
I have always said I need an emergency or something that has to be done fast! Like when I can’t seem to clean up, and when the time is running out, even better! Wow! I knew most of this already. Thank you!!
Idk if it’s my autism or ADHD but I’m in 2nd year physics at uni. I didn’t even learn any content from any of my 10 hefty modules let alone consolidate/revise it but 2 weeks before the exams boom I got super motivated and was able to learn an entire years worth of content from a top 5 in the UK for physics uni, and be able to do decently with questions 😅 I managed to memorise 50 Electromagnetic equations after only writing each one 1-3 times one day and the next day I recalled 95% of them without even actively memorising it But the stress from CRAMMING sucks 💀
Dude, you are seriously describing me with pin point accuracy... legit gave me goosebumps with every new topic. Its like you're describing all my little quarks that i thought were unique to just me. 👏👏 %1,000 blowin..my.. mind...out!!
When you started step 3 😱😱 I immediately thought of how I had the highest grade in my college statistics class despite missing more classes than anyone else but even more importantly we were told to provide and write down all the work and equations we used to come up with our answers on our tests and every test my teacher would tell me he has no idea how my made up formulas worked which weren’t what he taught at all but I still got the right answers 🤯🤯 And number 4, I stay incredibly calm in the face of everything. And the rest, all true!! And I am a great judgement of character in minutes.. wow, this list blew my mind
Raw instinct can present arbitrarily and even be problematic but it can be cultivated into a talent. Attune yourself to what you’re sensitive to and utilize it to serve for good.
Major thanks! Diagnosed at 38 and didn’t know what to do with it. The math thing got me 😮 and then the calm in the storm 🙌🏻 - and everything else ✅ this helped me greatly to give it all a home, a beautiful one it is! Now hyper focusing along entrepreneuring! Let the ADHD command! 🙏🏻♥️ thanks Arinda
For years and years I had bipolarity treatment which Ive ended up quiting all meds. I have a strong belief that I've been misdiagnosed. With your all insights and videos, i can tell you that my all problems (which you call them superpowers) match with your explanations. Now I have fobia to go to hospital again :( they call my impulsivity as manic episode, my lack of dopamine as depression:( I have scattered-mind and multiple projects in my hands that I struggle to manage. Now Im gaining some hope towards life with your vids :) I can handle and embrace my differently working brain. 🎉🎉🎉
I was misdiagnosed as bipolar for years. It really did nothing for my ADHD with the wrong medication. Tell your doctor what you have been experiencing lately and since childhood. Mention your childhood. Maybe take a parent or relative you knew as a child, to explain your actions in childhood.
@carriestout6422, glad to know I'm not alone in thinking this! So It's true that ADHD can sometimes be mistaken for bipolar disorder. For me, it's more about managing my thoughts, attention, and projects than dealing with mood swings. Thanks a lot for your helpful insights and suggestions!
@deliobaoduzzi6450 You’re right. Completing a small project from start to finish would be really satisfying. However, every time I begin outlining a new project, I remember an unfinished tutorial I need to complete first. This realization shifts my focus and makes me feel behind, causing me to feel overwhelmed and abandon the process altogether. I've been stuck in this frustrating cycle for weeks. But I will try to do my best again, thanks for your reminder I appreciate
@berreserifoglu4258 I also struggle with the same. Yesterday I worked on vocabulary for Hebrew class when my mind told me I needed to correct some errors I made in my Hebrew workbook. I could not relax Monday until I made corrections first to relax my mind enough to study vocabulary. It's sometimes a struggle when our thoughts remind us of something else.
I remember once solving a math problem by finding a pattern much quicker than my smart math teacher. I had decided to actually focus instead of doing nothing and I was very efficient doing so.
I REALLY enjoy these video's! The information is spot on, the clips and animations are amazing, the music is calm and not too much. All these things makes it an amazing video. Thank you for uploading and thank you for learning us all these helpfull things!
Your vids are so helpful. I am definitely still trying to just keep my head above water, trying to survive in a corporate world. Yes, I’ve been described as “fearless” but that’s because I travel alone to obscure places. Yeah, my ADHD caused me to score highly on the math part of the SAT by looking at the answers before looking at the questions. And yes, I would have made a great Navy fighter pilot. I’m kind of a G-force junkie 😊
Having adhd as an engineering student is very interesting, I get panic the first half of the semester when my friends doesn’t but before the exam I manage to stay very calm when my friends start to panic
I know i had to do something on phone, but somehow i opend RUclips instead and while doom scrolling i found this video. Thank you now i can get back to whatever it was i should have done half a hour ago 😑
timestamps: • [00:00] Introduction: ADHD is a superpower that can be used to build a successful and fulfilled life. • [01:00] Spiky Profile: We have a spiky profile, meaning we can be really bad at some things but insanely good at others. • [03:00] Abundance of Attention: We have an abundance of attention, which allows us to take in more information at once and make lightning fast connections. • [05:00] Challenging Comfort Zone: We are more open to challenging our comfort zone because the thrill of doing something new motivates us. • [07:00] Unconventional Solutions: We are good at coming up with new and original solutions to problems. • [09:00] Paradoxical Calm: We can paradoxically become very calm in high pressure environments. • [11:00] Hyperfocus: We can enter a flow state where we are completely focused on a task for hours on end.
I just want to thank you for this video. I have a new career path I'm exploring which actually is very interesting but I'm not learning it fast enough which is making me avoid studying it more because I'm failing and not further ahead in it... So to further avoid the task I get on YT to watch videos and came across yours as I felt down and frustrated with my mind. But after watching your video I never thought about any of those issues as super powers! Now, I feel upbeat and ready to accept my position in the Marvel Universe 😂❤
I forgot that i didn't eat anything for 3 days straight until i asked a family member, "did you see me eat at all since friday?" Turns out i was too much in my flow state and had in fact, eaten nothing.
#5…. My rabbit hole journeys do NOT lead to productivity. Knowledge without action. Only exception is when I play a musical instrument. And I cannot access it on demand, and the pairing thing doesn’t work for me. Cold showers on the other hand…
Just to save time for some people that the webinar video is not suitable: It's a 2-hour (or something) long video to sell an online accountability group session thing. It might be a great thing for some, but doesn't really work in my situation. Thank you anyway for the great channel, content and everything.
Wow dude love your channel Thank you for your content. I have had added my whole life. These have really been helping me at work recently. Great stuff, keep up the good work. Cheers 🍻 ❤💯👊
I have the capacity to be a success and I'm partially there but I freeze. I can't go through the door. I watch others go through and then I get comfy just watching others do what I know I can do, and oftentimes better. But I'm still frozen.
Yes, the big picture, always knowing what's coming thing is very familiar to me. The issue is that most of the time I don't trust myself enough to act on these instincts. I literally have a list of things that I KNEW would will happen, and I talked about doing something about to my inner circle, but I never had the guts to do it. For example I correctly identified a fantastic investment opportunity in my town with a ridiculous potential ROI. I talked about it to my wife, but I never really got the sense that I could actually make something of it. I kept thinking wait, if that opportunity is so great, how come no one else has seized it already? Well, 3 years later and someone did lol. Now I am trying to identify what could the next thing be that I can't miss no matter what.
I don't understand how other Adhd people learn how to do youtube channels. I need to learn so many things. I can't even get myself to OPEN my email app. It's STUFFED.
you are so correct, i've always noticed that i cook at some things and learn interests fast. also same with the maths thing. i also do impromptu good like in the crisis management. downside is that i'm always getting bad grades that don't reflect my intelect.
i had a a generous month to study the terminology for up coming exam i kept putting it off, 3 weeks past its thursday an exam is monday i fell into this urgent state an studied all weekend , im baffled with how i got 95 percent on my exam,
I like your video so much I want to give you an example ... When I play chess with higher Chess rated Players like 1900 - 2000 ratings My brain performs better comparing low chess rated players like me like 1200- 1300 ratings , people think I am cheating , YOu are right I concentrate better on opening like Sicilian OPening who requires for more creativity and hard prboblems . I am bored playing solid and low rated games and I cannot concentrate on low rated games , DO you guys feel the same thing Which I am talking about for example In university I enjoyed hardest lessons I become more succesful enjoyed though I am not super intelligent I like hard things to solve and enjoy . Like solving neuroscience problems etc.
Ever since I was a kid I used to feel lie the conversations that happen around me are too slow for me and my brain so I had a hard time staying Grounded in conversations and zoned out a lot, This video got me thinking that maybe that too was a sign?
Put myself in Environments that I am interested in? You mean, go to a park that I really like? Explain? I love being in Nature btw. So, if I am writing something, I need to be in a park? Or if I need to calculate my budget, I'd have to be in the park? Get it? I sometimes wonder if I just don't understand because for the longest time I have to force myself to work where I can, not where I find many things of interest, like a hawk flying overhead. Which will divide my attention.
You're amazing in sharing how this label fits our brains. I would like to know if you are an INFJ Meyers Briggs personality type? I am. I relate to so much of your content, but I'm only just finding myself fitting into the ADHD box, thanks to what you are sharing. I think it's a gift, not a disability btw.
As a guy who have adhd i can confirm that its really usefull in exam with choices cause i can ace it even without studying i just use the most logical answer

Bro yes the Video is 100% free. You explain how to buy your course. Just say it
Thank you :)
I lost focus during the video and now don't even know where I was or how long it was. Don't have the courage to try again 😅

I just clicked on the video, then opened what's app, then came here to read comments 😭😂😂😂

Don't make me laugh
"Make sure you watch till the end " is one of the biggest challenges for ppl with ADHD.
So true
I have bipolar 1 and ADHD. I have hundreds of books I have only read a few pages from but I occasionally try to buy ones that will go up in value to justify it! 🤣
Does that mean iam a adhder?
I think that’s just having short attention span which is especially common now in todays world of consuming quick content and short attention span unless u remember u need to do the dishes lol
Yes, it's an unfair asking.
Having ADHD is like being a part-time superhero who has a 50/50 shot at getting "locked out" of their powers.
I love this!
Oh what a cool idea for a movie!!!
Yeah that's it in a nutshell.
It's crazy when your body needs a break from overperforming, but your mind is in crisis to overperform.
There should be like a Juice or some snack hack - that helps compensate the tiredness.

- Open communication about ADHD tendencies, like ghosting friends and loved ones, can strengthen relationships and prevent misunderstandings.
- Introducing new activities and environments can help maintain interest and motivation, as ADHD brains are stimulated by novelty.
- Working in sprints rather than trying to maintain a steady pace can align better with how ADHD brains function, leveraging bursts of intense focus and motivation to complete tasks efficiently.
Thanks!
Im great at gift giving and molding to each person, I can make most people feel special and understood.
Pffffft my ADHD is so exhausting I can't even watch this video.
Don't watch it. Listen to it while doing sth else! 😊❤
Yoh mean finish
Also lets put ud limitations to adhd , think the positive sides we are very creative
Same man..... That's why I am in comments 😂😂
3:06 "It's like you're a new person."
Boom. Those words just made me realize a lot about myself, but mostly that I would always be absorbed into new fun skills I would learn like Rollerskating and new video games. I was so invested in learning the new, that I would oftentimes find myself feeling like someone entirely different.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You was the reason for me to undrestand my ADHD even better
Being both an autist and ADHDer means that while focus is an immense challenge if the topic isn’t interesting, if I am invested in a matter I do absolutely phenomenal at it.
Part of the reason I keep things extremely neat and clean is because with the two combined, I not only prefer neatness, but once I begin cleaning, I do not stop doing so until it is completed in the most meticulous form possible.
Bang bang bang - What are WONDERFUL video - UNEQUIVOCALLY one of the best I've ever seen and so rockingly TRUE
So i lived in a van for a few months back in 2021, and I am moving into another one at the end of this month. I NEED the stimulus. Sleeping in a parking lot and being surrounded by those noises, best sleep I have EVER had.
Also before that first band and before the apartment before that I had a very expensive and very shitty rent house. When it was time to move out we did not start packing until the day we had to be completely moved out had an entire garage sale that day
Background noise is your friend
Please make video about unhappiness, loneliness and not being able to find a life partner as an Adhd person, thanks, keep up the good work.
I have a great memory, I am great with words, I am quirky and a lot of people find it endearing.
I journal my life and notice how my ADHD mind works. I highly recommend it.
How do you do that?
I have always said I need an emergency or something that has to be done fast! Like when I can’t seem to clean up, and when the time is running out, even better! Wow! I knew most of this already. Thank you!!
Yep In a crisis I’m able
Normal stuff not so much
Work place decisions awful at
Idk if it’s my autism or ADHD but I’m in 2nd year physics at uni. I didn’t even learn any content from any of my 10 hefty modules let alone consolidate/revise it but 2 weeks before the exams boom I got super motivated and was able to learn an entire years worth of content from a top 5 in the UK for physics uni, and be able to do decently with questions 😅
I managed to memorise 50 Electromagnetic equations after only writing each one 1-3 times one day and the next day I recalled 95% of them without even actively memorising it
But the stress from CRAMMING sucks 💀
Dude, you are seriously describing me with pin point accuracy... legit gave me goosebumps with every new topic. Its like you're describing all my little quarks that i thought were unique to just me. 👏👏 %1,000 blowin..my.. mind...out!!
BASE jumping entrepreneur computer/AI architect polymath ADHDer reporting in. All of your points seem very accurate.
When you started step 3 😱😱 I immediately thought of how I had the highest grade in my college statistics class despite missing more classes than anyone else but even more importantly we were told to provide and write down all the work and equations we used to come up with our answers on our tests and every test my teacher would tell me he has no idea how my made up formulas worked which weren’t what he taught at all but I still got the right answers 🤯🤯
And number 4, I stay incredibly calm in the face of everything. And the rest, all true!! And I am a great judgement of character in minutes.. wow, this list blew my mind
"you can stay focused on a task "especially" if you're interested in it????" - no, ONLY if you are interested in it, you mean
No, only if your brain is interested in it. If you are, but your brain disagrees too bad
100% agree with you . Some times i found that I'm the beast , I'm the Danger , Sometimes i found myself chasing Danger purposefully 😊
Raw instinct can present arbitrarily and even be problematic but it can be cultivated into a talent. Attune yourself to what you’re sensitive to and utilize it to serve for good.
Major thanks! Diagnosed at 38 and didn’t know what to do with it. The math thing got me 😮 and then the calm in the storm 🙌🏻 - and everything else ✅ this helped me greatly to give it all a home, a beautiful one it is! Now hyper focusing along entrepreneuring! Let the ADHD command! 🙏🏻♥️ thanks Arinda
Dude I'm literally starting like 6 business at the same time, Course after course, I'm out of money😂😂😂 so glad I found your channel❤
Well I just realized I have ADHD and you got a new subscriber and I'm going to go talk to a doctor right now this makes so much sense it's crazy
This channel is a real blessing. May god bless you.
Thank you 💙
Never gonna call it a disorder but super power, you completely nailed it, never seen something like this😮 5th one suits me like crazy
For years and years I had bipolarity treatment which Ive ended up quiting all meds. I have a strong belief that I've been misdiagnosed. With your all insights and videos, i can tell you that my all problems (which you call them superpowers) match with your explanations. Now I have fobia to go to hospital again :( they call my impulsivity as manic episode, my lack of dopamine as depression:( I have scattered-mind and multiple projects in my hands that I struggle to manage.
Now Im gaining some hope towards life with your vids :) I can handle and embrace my differently working brain.
🎉🎉🎉
I was misdiagnosed as bipolar for years. It really did nothing for my ADHD with the wrong medication. Tell your doctor what you have been experiencing lately and since childhood. Mention your childhood. Maybe take a parent or relative you knew as a child, to explain your actions in childhood.
@carriestout6422, glad to know I'm not alone in thinking this! So It's true that ADHD can sometimes be mistaken for bipolar disorder. For me, it's more about managing my thoughts, attention, and projects than dealing with mood swings. Thanks a lot for your helpful insights and suggestions!
Try to end one little project . Take advantage of the days in which you feel more clarity . Stay away from your phone and computer .
@deliobaoduzzi6450 You’re right. Completing a small project from start to finish would be really satisfying. However, every time I begin outlining a new project, I remember an unfinished tutorial I need to complete first. This realization shifts my focus and makes me feel behind, causing me to feel overwhelmed and abandon the process altogether. I've been stuck in this frustrating cycle for weeks. But I will try to do my best again, thanks for your reminder I appreciate
@berreserifoglu4258 I also struggle with the same. Yesterday I worked on vocabulary for Hebrew class when my mind told me I needed to correct some errors I made in my Hebrew workbook. I could not relax Monday until I made corrections first to relax my mind enough to study vocabulary. It's sometimes a struggle when our thoughts remind us of something else.
Great Video. This is my new "let me explain who I am" video that I could share with people who don't get me. Perfect!
I remember once solving a math problem by finding a pattern much quicker than my smart math teacher. I had decided to actually focus instead of doing nothing and I was very efficient doing so.
Bros smart. He's getting me to watch this and his next video? Solid
This is spot on!
About damn time! I have been saying this for decades. Thank you
I REALLY enjoy these video's! The information is spot on, the clips and animations are amazing, the music is calm and not too much. All these things makes it an amazing video. Thank you for uploading and thank you for learning us all these helpfull things!
So glad you liked it!
Your vids are so helpful. I am definitely still trying to just keep my head above water, trying to survive in a corporate world. Yes, I’ve been described as “fearless” but that’s because I travel alone to obscure places. Yeah, my ADHD caused me to score highly on the math part of the SAT by looking at the answers before looking at the questions. And yes, I would have made a great Navy fighter pilot. I’m kind of a G-force junkie 😊
Is the fact that ADHD people's brains need emergency situations to thrive, the reason ADHD people procrastinate?
Wow!!!! Great question!!! You mighta just found the key there! 🤯
I think you’re right on!
WAIT! Oh my god, I have something really important to tell my parents.
It explains my big picture thinking that can help me with studying Theology or my Hebrew grammar concepts!
Having adhd as an engineering student is very interesting, I get panic the first half of the semester when my friends doesn’t but before the exam I manage to stay very calm when my friends start to panic
Missed it 3 times and had to rewind 3x . I'll focus now.
I know i had to do something on phone, but somehow i opend RUclips instead and while doom scrolling i found this video. Thank you now i can get back to whatever it was i should have done half a hour ago 😑
Wow this one really did it for me, yes I have ADHD. Thank you for not letting me not believe it ❤
timestamps:
• [00:00] Introduction: ADHD is a superpower that can be used to build a successful and fulfilled life.
• [01:00] Spiky Profile: We have a spiky profile, meaning we can be really bad at some things but insanely good at others.
• [03:00] Abundance of Attention: We have an abundance of attention, which allows us to take in more information at once and make lightning fast connections.
• [05:00] Challenging Comfort Zone: We are more open to challenging our comfort zone because the thrill of doing something new motivates us.
• [07:00] Unconventional Solutions: We are good at coming up with new and original solutions to problems.
• [09:00] Paradoxical Calm: We can paradoxically become very calm in high pressure environments.
• [11:00] Hyperfocus: We can enter a flow state where we are completely focused on a task for hours on end.
I love this video- just had to cut it to 3 sections lol i loveeee hyperfocus! I so love getting into it.
I just want to thank you for this video. I have a new career path I'm exploring which actually is very interesting but I'm not learning it fast enough which is making me avoid studying it more because I'm failing and not further ahead in it... So to further avoid the task I get on YT to watch videos and came across yours as I felt down and frustrated with my mind. But after watching your video I never thought about any of those issues as super powers! Now, I feel upbeat and ready to accept my position in the Marvel Universe 😂❤
Great Video. Could relate to a lot of my experiences.
This why I was a trauma nurse rockstar 🎉❗️❗️ thank you for helping me feel better and normal 💖💖💖
Is that actually why? Are you really adhd? That is interesting my life, which has no one bleeding init 😂 feels really slow and boring for me
Thank you so much bro. Appreciate it. This is making me way more confident in my ADHD and what some call "personality traits"
I'm just loving this channel more and more. You're videos are really effective and so relatable!
Glad it's resonating. More on the way. 🫡
I forgot that i didn't eat anything for 3 days straight until i asked a family member, "did you see me eat at all since friday?" Turns out i was too much in my flow state and had in fact, eaten nothing.
#5…. My rabbit hole journeys do NOT lead to productivity. Knowledge without action. Only exception is when I play a musical instrument. And I cannot access it on demand, and the pairing thing doesn’t work for me. Cold showers on the other hand…
Cold shower 500% Dopamine spike. I do them daily for the same reason
Just to save time for some people that the webinar video is not suitable:
It's a 2-hour (or something) long video to sell an online accountability group session thing.
It might be a great thing for some, but doesn't really work in my situation.
Thank you anyway for the great channel, content and everything.
I literally have had to rewind 30 seconds or more 15 times while watching this because i get distracted and stop listening for a bit.
I love when he says we ask ourselves.. WHAT IF ? ✌️🏹💞
where is the comment with the list of the 5 things?
Wow dude love your channel Thank you for your content. I have had added my whole life. These have really been helping me at work recently. Great stuff, keep up the good work. Cheers 🍻 ❤💯👊
Thank you! Glad the videos help 💙
I watched, listened and spotted the UPN logo during your presentation of our first superpower😂.
I have the capacity to be a success and I'm partially there but I freeze. I can't go through the door. I watch others go through and then I get comfy just watching others do what I know I can do, and oftentimes better. But I'm still frozen.
Yes, the big picture, always knowing what's coming thing is very familiar to me. The issue is that most of the time I don't trust myself enough to act on these instincts. I literally have a list of things that I KNEW would will happen, and I talked about doing something about to my inner circle, but I never had the guts to do it.
For example I correctly identified a fantastic investment opportunity in my town with a ridiculous potential ROI. I talked about it to my wife, but I never really got the sense that I could actually make something of it. I kept thinking wait, if that opportunity is so great, how come no one else has seized it already? Well, 3 years later and someone did lol. Now I am trying to identify what could the next thing be that I can't miss no matter what.
hey ADHD's, 8:02 - this moment feels so good doesn't it?
his voice and background music are so pleasant and soothing
Thankyou for these encouraging words.
You are giving me hope. Thank you.
Start new things without overthinking _ start a business - risk taking
Thank you for reminding me to water my plants 🫡
Thanks for reminding me of these truths.
I don't understand how other Adhd people learn how to do youtube channels. I need to learn so many things. I can't even get myself to OPEN my email app. It's STUFFED.
Honestly same I don’t have any of these abilities only the down sides
I think the same ,maybe it's one of their special interest or maybe their i.q is higher .not all adhd are equally smart .
sick editing!
you are so correct, i've always noticed that i cook at some things and learn interests fast. also same with the maths thing. i also do impromptu good like in the crisis management. downside is that i'm always getting bad grades that don't reflect my intelect.
I have undiagnosed ADHD but I also have childhood trauma and social anxiety so life is sooo damn hard..
i had a a generous month to study the terminology for up coming exam i kept putting it off, 3 weeks past its thursday an exam is monday i fell into this urgent state an studied all weekend , im baffled with how i got 95 percent on my exam,
I like your video so much I want to give you an example ... When I play chess with higher Chess rated Players like 1900 - 2000 ratings My brain performs better comparing low chess rated players like me like 1200- 1300 ratings , people think I am cheating , YOu are right I concentrate better on opening like Sicilian OPening who requires for more creativity and hard prboblems . I am bored playing solid and low rated games and I cannot concentrate on low rated games , DO you guys feel the same thing Which I am talking about for example In university I enjoyed hardest lessons I become more succesful enjoyed though I am not super intelligent I like hard things to solve and enjoy . Like solving neuroscience problems etc.
Ever since I was a kid I used to feel lie the conversations that happen around me are too slow for me and my brain so I had a hard time staying Grounded in conversations and zoned out a lot, This video got me thinking that maybe that too was a sign?
Put myself in Environments that I am interested in? You mean, go to a park that I really like? Explain? I love being in Nature btw. So, if I am writing something, I need to be in a park? Or if I need to calculate my budget, I'd have to be in the park? Get it? I sometimes wonder if I just don't understand because for the longest time I have to force myself to work where I can, not where I find many things of interest, like a hawk flying overhead. Which will divide my attention.
Great editing and information!
You're amazing in sharing how this label fits our brains. I would like to know if you are an INFJ Meyers Briggs personality type? I am. I relate to so much of your content, but I'm only just finding myself fitting into the ADHD box, thanks to what you are sharing. I think it's a gift, not a disability btw.
That example about solving Maths problems is super accurate.
lightnight fast connections!
As a guy who have adhd i can confirm that its really usefull in exam with choices cause i can ace it even without studying i just use the most logical answer
Love the content, I'd imagine the problem with a channel on ADHD is that you've got extra pressure on watch time hours 😅
This is getting too relatable
