Having ADHD is like being a part-time superhero who has a 50/50 shot at getting "locked out" of their powers.
I love this!
Oh what a cool idea for a movie!!!
Yeah that's it in a nutshell.
Okay I opened the video and then I remembered to check what's app, and then I went back to TH-cam and started scrolling through shorts and suddenly remembered that I was watching this video and most importantly I was studying in the first place and now I don't know why I'm here 😂
😂 well known
I just clicked on the video, then opened what's app, then came here to read comments 😭😂😂😂
Okay at least I’m not the only one 😂😅
Same for me and additionally I never prepare for meetings because I am overwhelmed or I feel parallelized and in the meeting itself my ideas are coming into my mind again but because I am unprepared I am not able to underly my ideas with arguments and details. So I lose everytime.
Don't make me laugh
1. adhd intuition
2. adhd risk-taking
3. adhd creativity
4. adhd crisis management
5. adhd hyperfocus
-> curated external triggers
Thank you, @cobalius, for this key to the numbers 1-5
And then an external exceedingly long & wordy video that I got bored with half way through & gave up. Why do they do that? What does it actually achieve? I’d like to hear the solution but for goodness sake get to the point……🙄
Bro yes the Video is 100% free. You explain how to buy your course. Just say it
The video was actually useful, just don't buy the course/join his community
Thank you :)
"Make sure you watch till the end " is one of the biggest challenges for ppl with ADHD.
So true
First responder here for 12 years, the best years of my life 😁
I have always wondered why my brain is completely calm and clear in the most dangerous situations in life...
Same, the small stuff stress me bad big stuff meh no biggie😂
Exactly the same here⚡️🧠
I just noticed that too 😂
I'm ADHD and this guy is exactly right when it comes to mathematics I can't show the working out but I can get the answer but if you fail to show the working out on paper you fail the exam
Working it out is such a drag because you'll never be asked to show your work in thebral world unless you're a mathematician and it's a requirement of the process. Not once in 50 years has an employer ask me to show my work, and I'm in quality control.
And yet schools act like “Skill issue” when it is literally just not how my brain works
I've noticed that having ADHD and being on autism spectrum conflict with each other very much a lot. All the social interaction sides that ADHD provides are conflicted with my autism and I struggle even more.
I journal my life and notice how my ADHD mind works. I highly recommend it.
This is Ed from ADHD Vision. You explained why I excelled in physical chemistry exams in graduate school, even though I could not do the required calculus math.
For all the second-time watchers: Had to reupload to fix the quality + music! (if you came back a second time you're a real one)
oh thank you so much!!! i was watching like 2 min and suddenly it said private
I realised it was a re upload after I had watched it all 😅
I don't understand how other Adhd people learn how to do youtube channels. I need to learn so many things. I can't even get myself to OPEN an email app. It's STUFFED.
That's right, and u don't have to explain it to us :)
I agree with the potential benefits of ADHD.
However, I also have ASD Level 1 which is often at odd with ADHD as it makes me very cautious with a strong need for organization.
Add to that a very early history (started age 2 through age 9) of prolonged incest in a very violent large family which created a deep fear and distrust of people.
I have a lot of panic and fear. Cant shake it. Have considered trying MDMA or psilocybin therapy.
Your thoughts?
Spot on . Everything u said I can relate 100% to it. We have too many blessings , yet we tend to focus on the downside of ADHD. I am an entrepreneur, I run one of the top consulting companies for international development. I strongly believe I wouldn't have done it if I were a normal person
@waelsallak6522 It is inspiring to hear when people make a positive out of what could be negative esp after schooling & a lifetime of poor feedback. Early life experiences mould you. I read recently that autism is hyper-focus whereas adhd is hyper-distraction?
I really like this channel because it shows how to deal with things and the upside. It’s nice to get some positive news.
This made me burst out. I never realised that I had these superpowers. Thank you so much
Thank you so much for this video. As someone who's recently been diagnosed with ADHD, I felt like sh*t and I'm sure you've been there before and you understand. These types of videos make me accept the fact that I'm ADHDer and realize that it's sometimes can be a blessing. Plz do more of these videos 🤍
Pffffft my ADHD is so exhausting I can't even watch this video.
Don't watch it. Listen to it while doing sth else! 😊❤
Yoh mean finish
Also lets put ud limitations to adhd , think the positive sides we are very creative
Same man..... That's why I am in comments 😂😂
Thanks! Your videos have taught me so much- diagnosed at 53 years old.
How? HOW?! How can this man read everything about me and my thinking process to the T!😮😮
coach stuff *shrug*
That's me! The more I Iearn about it, the more I accept myself and allow this superpower to develop even further, even though all my life others thought there was something very wrong with me.
Approaching strangers without context scares me into a fight or flight state. But when I perceive an invitation, even if the other party is unaware, I confidently make the approach. The invitation could simply be a person wearing a Pink Floyd t-shirt. Since they're my favorite band, I FEEL (keyword: feel) invited to tell a stranger passing by, "nice shirt!" At big networking events or parties, if there's anything that genuinely makes me interested in approaching, I do it without hesitation. But if my inner critic says, "you should go talk to them," when no part of me feels compelled and yet I still go talk to them, I make the biggest ass of myself and feel anxious as hell while doing it.
What a crazy video. The accuracy is 100%. I have been saying I have super power forever. It not a me problem but a you problem. I feel comfortable at 1000m/h. I cannot go 100m/h for a long time.
EXACTLY! I’m great at projects when I can rush it and do it in an hour, but taking my time somehow worsens the final result.
Is the fact that ADHD people's brains need emergency situations to thrive, the reason ADHD people procrastinate?
Wow!!!! Great question!!! You mighta just found the key there! 🤯
I think you’re right on!
WAIT! Oh my god, I have something really important to tell my parents.
1. I am the opposite regarding the big picture. I get so lost in things, that I cannot pull away and have a very bad time seeing the big picture
2. I am more likely to start a business, because I cannot see the problems coming. But then avoid doing accounting bc its very boring and get problems with IRS
3. I don't know the answer, but I know when situations around me are safe or shady when travelling
4. I have had a person die on my hands and I have saved a few people afterwards in life. Nobody else did anything. But I was completely focused and calm. I noticed that high stakes situations make me calm. It has a downside of wanting to get into arguments and conflicts on purpose. I think it might be the reason why jails are full of ADHD people. We act, we don't think about consequences, we are calm.
5. Oh hyperfocus is like magic. But the problem is controlling it. Getting hyper-focused on some obscure random topic that nobody cares about is not that useful in reality.
Great Video. This is my new "let me explain who I am" video that I could share with people who don't get me. Perfect!
BASE jumping entrepreneur computer/AI architect polymath ADHDer reporting in. All of your points seem very accurate.
About damn time! I have been saying this for decades. Thank you
This why I was a trauma nurse rockstar 🎉❗️❗️ thank you for helping me feel better and normal 💖💖💖
I forgot that i didn't eat anything for 3 days straight until i asked a family member, "did you see me eat at all since friday?" Turns out i was too much in my flow state and had in fact, eaten nothing.
lightnight fast connections!
Can always tell the adhd youtubers who know nothing of what theyre talking about. Hyperfocus is a double edged sword. If you wield it in the way hes describing youll burn out very fast then it takes monthes to feel normal again.
Really like this one 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 None of this is new; but the compilation of these points together & the way you designed the pro/con & explanations is very well done ❤
Thank you! Glad you liked it :)
As a CS student: It’s not a bug, it’s a feature
This is spot on!
"you can stay focused on a task "especially" if you're interested in it????" - no, ONLY if you are interested in it, you mean
I have always said I need an emergency or something that has to be done fast! Like when I can’t seem to clean up, and when the time is running out, even better! Wow! I knew most of this already. Thank you!!
Yep In a crisis I’m able
Normal stuff not so much
Work place decisions awful at
I’m glad someone else is talking about this, if harnessed we truly do have a super power! The ability to hyper focus and fail fast is our best trait OIM
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You was the reason for me to undrestand my ADHD even better
✨ Summary:
- ADHD leads to lower and more volatile levels of mood, motivation, and focus due to dopamine deficiency, making it easy to get sidetracked by quick dopamine hits from activities like social media and junk food.
- Creating sustainable systems for natural dopamine, such as cold showers, exercise, and healthy foods, can improve mood, motivation, and focus over time.
- Open communication about ADHD tendencies, like ghosting friends and loved ones, can strengthen relationships and prevent misunderstandings.
- Introducing new activities and environments can help maintain interest and motivation, as ADHD brains are stimulated by novelty.
- Working in sprints rather than trying to maintain a steady pace can align better with how ADHD brains function, leveraging bursts of intense focus and motivation to complete tasks efficiently.
Thanks!
I love this video- just had to cut it to 3 sections lol i loveeee hyperfocus! I so love getting into it.
I REALLY enjoy these video's! The information is spot on, the clips and animations are amazing, the music is calm and not too much. All these things makes it an amazing video. Thank you for uploading and thank you for learning us all these helpfull things!
So glad you liked it!
Why's no one talking about how the title says 7 superpowers but he only mentions 6 in the video. And he doesn't even explain the 6th one in the video.
Maybe he got carried away with one of his superpowers.
Friends! Which one of these is your favorite adhd superpower??
Hyperfixation.
Hyper focus!
The underpressure
The courage to try novel challenges
I like hyperfocus under pressure a lot.. but the line between not enough or too much pressure is very thin and sometimes I begin my work just a bit too late to feel overwhelmed during maybe 1h.. but then I calm down and just take a piece of paper to plan carefully the time I have left. I just need to talk to myself to hear my voice and it helps to calm me down. Then with the plan I have done I can work better and the pressure is just right as it needs to be to begin my work with the good energy and hyperfocus. It is good to plan the next day in the evening before going to bed, so it helps me calm down before going to sleep.
Thanks a lot for your great content🙏🏻
I remember once solving a math problem by finding a pattern much quicker than my smart math teacher. I had decided to actually focus instead of doing nothing and I was very efficient doing so.
I have undiagnosed ADHD but I also have childhood trauma and social anxiety so life is sooo damn hard..
Major thanks! Diagnosed at 38 and didn’t know what to do with it. The math thing got me 😮 and then the calm in the storm 🙌🏻 - and everything else ✅ this helped me greatly to give it all a home, a beautiful one it is! Now hyper focusing along entrepreneuring! Let the ADHD command! 🙏🏻♥️ thanks Arinda
Idk if it’s my autism or ADHD but I’m in 2nd year physics at uni. I didn’t even learn any content from any of my 10 hefty modules let alone consolidate/revise it but 2 weeks before the exams boom I got super motivated and was able to learn an entire years worth of content from a top 5 in the UK for physics uni, and be able to do decently with questions 😅
I managed to memorise 50 Electromagnetic equations after only writing each one 1-3 times one day and the next day I recalled 95% of them without even actively memorising it
But the stress from CRAMMING sucks 💀
where is the comment with the list of the 5 things?
hahaha so true I always search for this type of comments
i believe there was no need, because you are interested in the video so you will watch the whole thing :D thats what happened to me at least
For years and years I had bipolarity treatment which Ive ended up quiting all meds. I have a strong belief that I've been misdiagnosed. With your all insights and videos, i can tell you that my all problems (which you call them superpowers) match with your explanations. Now I have fobia to go to hospital again :( they call my impulsivity as manic episode, my lack of dopamine as depression:( I have scattered-mind and multiple projects in my hands that I struggle to manage.
Now Im gaining some hope towards life with your vids :) I can handle and embrace my differently working brain.
🎉🎉🎉
I was misdiagnosed as bipolar for years. It really did nothing for my ADHD with the wrong medication. Tell your doctor what you have been experiencing lately and since childhood. Mention your childhood. Maybe take a parent or relative you knew as a child, to explain your actions in childhood.
@carriestout6422, glad to know I'm not alone in thinking this! So It's true that ADHD can sometimes be mistaken for bipolar disorder. For me, it's more about managing my thoughts, attention, and projects than dealing with mood swings. Thanks a lot for your helpful insights and suggestions!
Try to end one little project . Take advantage of the days in which you feel more clarity . Stay away from your phone and computer .
@deliobaoduzzi6450 You’re right. Completing a small project from start to finish would be really satisfying. However, every time I begin outlining a new project, I remember an unfinished tutorial I need to complete first. This realization shifts my focus and makes me feel behind, causing me to feel overwhelmed and abandon the process altogether. I've been stuck in this frustrating cycle for weeks. But I will try to do my best again, thanks for your reminder I appreciate
@berreserifoglu4258 I also struggle with the same. Yesterday I worked on vocabulary for Hebrew class when my mind told me I needed to correct some errors I made in my Hebrew workbook. I could not relax Monday until I made corrections first to relax my mind enough to study vocabulary. It's sometimes a struggle when our thoughts remind us of something else.
Love the content, I'd imagine the problem with a channel on ADHD is that you've got extra pressure on watch time hours 😅
Dude I'm literally starting like 6 business at the same time, Course after course, I'm out of money😂😂😂 so glad I found your channel❤
I just want to thank you for this video. I have a new career path I'm exploring which actually is very interesting but I'm not learning it fast enough which is making me avoid studying it more because I'm failing and not further ahead in it... So to further avoid the task I get on YT to watch videos and came across yours as I felt down and frustrated with my mind. But after watching your video I never thought about any of those issues as super powers! Now, I feel upbeat and ready to accept my position in the Marvel Universe 😂❤
I watched, listened and spotted the UPN logo during your presentation of our first superpower😂.
This is getting too relatable
It's not a long video but I can't concentrate so I keep pausing and coming back because I don't want to miss any information.... God this ADHD is killing me
Thank you so much bro. Appreciate it. This is making me way more confident in my ADHD and what some call "personality traits"
#5…. My rabbit hole journeys do NOT lead to productivity. Knowledge without action. Only exception is when I play a musical instrument. And I cannot access it on demand, and the pairing thing doesn’t work for me. Cold showers on the other hand…
Cold shower 500% Dopamine spike. I do them daily for the same reason
Thanks for reminding me of these truths.
you are so correct, i've always noticed that i cook at some things and learn interests fast. also same with the maths thing. i also do impromptu good like in the crisis management. downside is that i'm always getting bad grades that don't reflect my intelect.
Amazing.... We always tend to ask "Wha if?"
Great video..., thank you very much and hope better success to you!
I don't understand how other Adhd people learn how to do youtube channels. I need to learn so many things. I can't even get myself to OPEN my email app. It's STUFFED.
Honestly same I don’t have any of these abilities only the down sides
I think the same ,maybe it's one of their special interest or maybe their i.q is higher .not all adhd are equally smart .
Very true bro! I’m in Seattle, love challenging myself often, and I’m building my Beach Hotel in the Philippines and moving next year to run it! I’m so excited and grateful for my ADHD. See you in the future at Ohana Beach Suites! 🙏
As a young Filipino with ADHD, it is comforting to see other Filipinos in here. (If you are Filipino, that is). I still feel comfort though that I have fellow Filipinos with ADHD (even if I just assumed that you are even when maybe there is a possibility that you are not). I’d love to go to Obama Beach Suites someday if I can. Thank you very much to you Ma’am/Sir! (I don’t know what your gender is so….) You definitely don’t have to answer to this message 😊 it’s just me randomly rambling.
@@JinnZamayla I’m the American guy married to a Filipina but I hear you! We are all special with our ADHD Superpowers! Have a great day! Ohana Beach Suites!
@@OHANA-Beach-Suites Thank you so much for the message Sir! I completely agree! We are indeed all special with our ADHD Superpowers!
You are an Adhd Hero man!!!!🎉 The video is sooo stuffed with info and so well done !!bravooo❤🎉! How long did it take u btw?;) Excelent thanks all your content
When were u diagnosed and how that was done to u? By questionarie?? I am thinkg of going there..(love from Slovakia!)
the fact that i clicked on this video to make myself feel better instead of studying for my exam tomorrow....😂
Very good information. Thank you!
Missed it 3 times and had to rewind 3x . I'll focus now.
"... In the shower... " ~*perks head up, listening to this in the shower *~
I like the phrase "unconventional approach"
I thought I had ADHD until watching this video. There is no way my brain would create a new way to solve a math problem or be able to think on the spot during a presentation lol. I think I am quite the opposite in those avenues
My ADHD power is the ability to read a person or room in seconds. I can also foresee outcomes and reactions from people before it happens
Same… it takes willpower to listen to those voices tho I swear,,. I argue with them 😅😅😅I like to see good in everyone and everyone don’t have good it seems lol
Eyes work so fastly during skiming and scanning. 😂
You are giving me hope. Thank you.
I see one fire fighter to have adhd😮❤
Before I get started watching the video, I wanted to "drop a bit of dopamine your way." ;) I'm 60 and I have ADHD. Omystars. My son had it and back in the 80s, teachers blamed parents and said they were bad moms. Stupid stuff like that. I always swore Robby (my son) got it from his dad. And then, I realized, I had ADHD. So many topics you discuss I think give me a bit of Dopamine bc it feels so good knowing someone else has the same damn things, lol. I'm a new sub and I want to learn more about how to get Dopamine. Thank you for your hard work making these videos. They are so helpful. And I know, it is hard work. I'm writing a book and it's horrid bc I can't get motivated. Do you have any ideas for getting motivated for writing? I'm also working on beading projects, adult coloring, making jewelry. lmao Think I might be a bit here and there and everywhere???? And lastly, the short beard on you looks sooo good. You are good looking anyway, but the beard is on pointe. Thanx again.
So consistency is our Kryptonite?
It explains my big picture thinking that can help me with studying Theology or my Hebrew grammar concepts!
If only I could use my ADHD powers for faster decisions. I can see a thousand paths at once, but cannot choose - my "different thinking" is never being supported, or taken seriously, or even heard at all, and I ended up integrating this. I don't know how to regain that power, or if it's even worth it - maybe I'm the problem. The fact that social tensions wreck me doesn't help. I'm only "allowed" to think as I will in art, and even that is a growing struggle, both mentally and time-wise.
I've always used the practical creativity thing to hide my terrible memory!
@adhdvision hey could you please make a video on how to be street smart
Please make video about unhappiness, loneliness and not being able to find a life partner as an Adhd person, thanks, keep up the good work.
Ok, I guess I need to give up this unfair advantage. I like to play fair
That makes a lot of sense. Can you reccommend booksnon adhd, hoe about Scattered Minds?
Problem with adhd is that we get easily burned out
My superpower - spotting spelling mistakes in a fraction of a second. For example, “lightning” at around 1:37 mark :-)
That example about solving Maths problems is super accurate.
Your videos are awesome and super helpful. Wish I could say this for the webinar that is linked. Sadly, found it to be largely a waste of time for me as it was too much of fluff and less of substance and usable information.
My name is Branson, so it was trippy when you started talking about Richard Branson 😂
I like your video so much I want to give you an example ... When I play chess with higher Chess rated Players like 1900 - 2000 ratings My brain performs better comparing low chess rated players like me like 1200- 1300 ratings , people think I am cheating , YOu are right I concentrate better on opening like Sicilian OPening who requires for more creativity and hard prboblems . I am bored playing solid and low rated games and I cannot concentrate on low rated games , DO you guys feel the same thing Which I am talking about for example In university I enjoyed hardest lessons I become more succesful enjoyed though I am not super intelligent I like hard things to solve and enjoy . Like solving neuroscience problems etc.
Great video ... Thank you
I think you're right about everything here, but I particularly identify with improvising under pressure. I read somewhere before, don't know how true this is, but supposedly ADHD is a biological trait that would have been more prevalent among the "Hunters" in a hunter-gatherer society.
I have so much adhd that i cant follow what you are saying while reading the comments😮😮😮😮😮
Just to save time for some people that the webinar video is not suitable:
It's a 2-hour (or something) long video to sell an online accountability group session thing.
It might be a great thing for some, but doesn't really work in my situation.
Thank you anyway for the great channel, content and everything.
Could not find the video. Gave up.
My super power is dealing with crazy people and having super vision and mirror mind games
Why am i tired all the time, this makes me extra depressed bacuase i struggle to study😢😢😢
You may really have to explore that i.e. lack of sleep. For me, it helps to look for something interesting in what you study. Also, studying in bits and pieces unless you enter hyperfocus.
You're not alone. I think the majority of people with ADHD feel this way. This channel tends to over exaggerate the positive sides and ignore the dark side. To not put yourself down bc of "failures" is an important thing to do imo.
Adhd and Autism here lol 😂
Thank you for reminding me to water my plants 🫡
JFYI: the home page of your site has a broken link for the "Course =>" button. 404 error. It has a space in the link, but if I delete it, it still gives a 404. I don't know where to report this, so here we are :D
Up
Last part is never explained and not in the links.
do we have this superpowers while on adhd-medication?
I tend to loose them a bit on meds, thats why i dont take them every day. But everyone is different.
Can you make a video for people with adhd , anxiety and depression?
