I was using tiktok for that but stopped on the day i realized i had spent sixteen consecutive hours swiping tiktoks without noticing. Adhd is a horrible burden. There is no punchline.
I get it
I'm on the spectrum, so certain things tend to occupy my time a lot too
My adhd makes tiktok impossible for me to watch because it's too fast and i get frustrated. Silver linings i guess.
One of the first days I had tiktok I did the same shit. Just a haze of swipe after swipe after swipe until 9+ hours had gone by. I did literally nothing at work that entire day but watch tiktoks. I felt drunk/high afterwards with how mush my brain became
That endless scroll is just digital crack.
I used to feel like I was cursed because even Tiktok videos from people I should like because of their positions on things were still grating and annoying to me in the format and I can watch maybe one of them a day if someone I know insists that I do.
If I got fully pulled in, that'd probably suck.
Understandable. The format seems to encourage or require stricture conformity to a specific presentation style, mode of speech, etc.
