I may be wrong, but I think the person who mentioned ADHD is suggesting that you should get checked if you are neurodivergent because you are talking as if your experience is typical but what you describe seems like a pretty big outlier
I don't think anything I have described warrants being evaluated for neurodivergence.
Can we not just say different people are different and call it there?
I know a lot of people that can't stand tiktok and insta reels.
I remember discovering Beavis and Butthead in the 90s and showing it to my parents, and their being more confused than offended by the short (for the time) and scattered 15-minute episodes. I'm pretty sure if you went back 50 years and showed TikTok to people who were used to things like Columbo and Loveboat, they'd just be confused and wonder what the point is.
If anything, I'd say the people who enjoy absorbing entertainment in 7-second chunks have been reprogrammed and desensitized in a way that's not normal, though I wouldn't slap any psych labels on them either.
I realize that my comment may have been written poorly and I'm sorry. If it was unclear, I meant that I find watching long videos to be lower effort than watching many short videos, one after the other.
Now that that's clear, I will refuse the psych eval and continue with my day.
