Is this something only people with ADHD suffer from?
I'm approaching 45 and my memory has always been like this. For things I am interested in I'm all ears but for anything I'm finding boring I really struggle to concentrate and take it in.
FYI I don't have ADHD (at least it's something I've never considered myself to have).
I think no one likes to learn things they have no interest in, and it's generally harder. For me it sometimes feels like when in a movie a grenade goes off and all you hear is that loud peeeeep. I know i should listen, i know it's very important but my brain just shuts off, and there is very little i can do. I can force myself to listen but the peeeep only gets quieter, but it's never gone.
