Is this really an ADHD thing? I will go out of my way to help other people, but yeah, I can’t be bothered to fold my own laundry so I just throw it all in a clothes basket and stick it in the closet.
It’s not exclusively ADHD but a lot of us ADHD folks seem to be like this.
The difference I think is for ADHD it’s not “can’t be bothered to fold my own laundry” it’s “I cannot force myself to fold laundry and if I try I will lose focus on the task and be scrolling my phone within 30 seconds of starting.”
more than that, in my experience when i simply cannot do something and try to force myself to do it, it leads to me feeling like i’m going to die.
The phone scrolling is a form of self-defence to distract from that feeling of “i’m useless and god is about to smite me for sucking so hard”
