I think increased screen time has contributed to more people developing symptoms of adhd. If we'd just go out and get a life, we'd be able to focus more long-attention span on things.

It's the Live Internet Theory. Everything you're reading is the sock puppets of one hyperfocused person getting all the dopamine.

The girlfriend doesn't have it, and she hates debating/arguing. She also doesn't post things online.

I'll give you a minute to figure out the point I'm making.

The point I'm making is that you hear a lot about ADHD online because people with ADHD have a tendency to spend a lot of time posting things online. The normies don't have to be terminally online to get a dopamine boost like we do.
