Interestingly enough, I remember reading a study awhile back that some people (with ADHD, I think?) are less likely to be motivated to do a thing if they talk about it a lot.

IIRC, the conclusion was that some peoples' brains can decide that doing a thing and talking about doing a thing are 'close enough'.

That is so me. It happens all the time. I've been suspecting if I had ADHD my whole life but have never been diagnosed. This kind makes me think I do.

I experience this but if you are truly interested in following through, you will. My example of this is going around telling everybody I’m going to make a truly random fake poker app because it feels like the popular ones are rigged against those most likely to buy fake chips with real money. I had the idea 2 months ago, and after some obstacles, I stopped pursuing the idea for a while.

Where as 2 1/2 years ago I said “I could do this” at a rave. I’ve been working on being able to “do it” since. Making progress. Told people I could, showing them I am, and continuing to do so
