This type of "now this friendship is in focus, now it's not" time-blindness is really common with ADHD folks.

when god programmed ADHD brains he forgot to merge the friendship degradation mechanic from the mainline branch and i'm really glad He did
I've never understood recency bias in friendship. If we're friends, what does it matter how long its been? Why does a relationship degrade simply because time has elapsed? Is your brain so fickle? Is there no expectation of continuity? Loyalty? Does a treasured item that's been put in a drawer for a time lose its innate value?
In this regard, I prefer my brain to whatever the hell normative is; I don't require constant or regular affirmation to remain steadfast in my beliefs.
