    Is this something only people with ADHD suffer from?

    I’m approaching 45 and my memory has always been like this. For things I am interested in I’m all ears but for anything I’m finding boring I really struggle to concentrate and take it in.

    FYI I don’t have ADHD (at least it’s something I’ve never considered myself to have).

      Careful of Rule 1. Like most things, the symptom is not something only ADHD people experience, but for ADHD people it can be debilitating enough to affect their lives significantly. For example not being able to concentrate on something even if not doing it will lead one to economic disaster etc.
