I'm not at all trying to be a dick here but those are exactly the feelings that lead me to get an ADHD diagnosis. Not caring almost feels good until said problem bites you in the arse.

If life is going well and you are happy then don't worry. If the tendencies you described are messing things up then maybe go get a test. My life is so much better now.

Edit:

Shoutout to /r/adhd!

Also, video dude wrote a book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Taking-Charge-Adult-Russell-Barkley/dp/1606233386

Edit 2:

Here is an informative and adorable video for anyone unsure if they have ADHD. It's great. Go watch it. https://youtu.be/cx13a2-unjE

Me and my wife's 16-year-old son was diagnosed ADHD roughly 10 years ago and we've had Dr. Barkley's book since. It's been our "bible" in helping to guide him and us through the ups and downs...

The video, which I discovered a while back, is amazing. It furthers the book by offering the "machanics" of of the condition.

And yes, a shout out to Reddit's ADHD sub. (I'm fairly new to Reddit and was happy to stumble across it...)

Hope you're managing well.
