Why do so many people suspect OP has ADHD? Isn’t it more common for people to give up when faced with hard problems than not? It usually takes experience and training to learn to become persistent at hard problems. I’m definitely much better at keep at a difficult goal now compared to my early 20s due to mindset change and experience. Seems backwards to assume it’s a medical problem at as soon as OP mentions that, and I feel the need to point out it’s a dangerous direction our society has slipped into assuming every imperfection with a person has to do with mental disorder.
