But I do know I made this for Buffer Film Fest 2023 and it's always a ton of fun to be a part of that. Thanks Buffer!

Understimulated into boredom or overstimulated to a point where you can't focus- ADHD makes conversations tricky. I tried to put my own thoughts under the microscope to help others understand why I can never finish a story and how I can't remember things we talked about 5 minutes ago.
This was made for Buffer Film Festival 2023. Thank you to the wonderful people at Buffer for everything :)

Realizing I had adhd helped me go from “god I’m so annoying” to “wow, I was able to cook a good meal! What a nice day”
No cap
I always think “god im so annoying”
Truuueee
Hohoho, I thought I recognized you. Getting type comments on A Dude all the time, and also here! Very impressive.

As someone with ADHD: this is the most accurate description I’ve ever seen
@SaturdayNightLiveLive i'm not clicking that
@SaturdayNightLiveLive lol this bot is everywhere 😂
@Heluva3 why bots suck
exactly😭
Me too but this is the most accurate video I’ve ever seen
The "don't interrupt me" hit so freaking hard. Being involved in the conversation helps me focus and listen, okay.
Why not just sit still and nod encouragingly? Works for me and I don't even have AC-DC
@@Blitterbug Because thats the thing where you go zap
They are talking about D4C
@@Sarah12471 haha nice
proper social educate is to pause in between thoughts in order to give the other people in the conversation a chance to speak.
Like, obviously, that's the best way to have a conversation. The alternative is someone sitting and listening to a monologue.
I feel this too
I frequently experience the “no, I swear that your work story reminding me of an iguana fact makes perfect sense” thing. There was a whole mental odyssey of connections I’ve gone through that the other person just wasn’t aware of, so it seems completely out of nowhere.
that is a good metaphor for what having ADHD is like: a mental odyssey. Dividing attention, focus, awareness, thoughts, emotions, it's just a big interior expedition to find everything your brain needs even for one conversation
I only have autism not ADHD but I do have that mental connection thing, where things that dont seem connected just link up in my head.
YES! It’ll get really confusing, because I’ll start talking about how “The other day he did blah blah blah” and because I had that ‘mental odyssey’ I feel that it makes perfect sense, but they don’t know who I’m talking about AND they were talking about wanting to sign up for soccer or something like that.
As someone with ADHD, I can tell you that Ginger is actually very healthy for you, and it does NOT make your skin pale. Also, wanna hear about what happened 6 years ago?
As someone with autism, sure, but be warned because I might start talking about an event that happened 6 years ago that relates to my special interest
@@typemasters2871So I’m not the only one?
So similar yet so different, pretty
hell yeah
NUH UH BECAUSE GINGER CAN BE PUT IN PALES SO YOUR WRONG!!!1!
1:51 I just realized the table is a penny, truly the most accurate description about how useful adhd is during convos
“A penny for your thoughts” was my immediate thought on that
at 0:01 the windows in the background are Germany
When it zooms out the table is made from two stacked on top of eachother, so I thought it was about “giving your two cents” on a conversation
I relate to this so much
@SaturdayNightLiveLive bot
Inside Out 2 looks fire 🔥🔥🔥
This animation is so good. It should win some sort of award.
I know you can tell there’s a lot of effort
As a man with ADHD, I can find this totally relatable.
Yep
No you dont, the comment released seconds after this video.
bro u didn't even watch the video yet
@@Lagchunk I’ve seen half of it and I can see my brain working like this
I have ADHD to
*"What was that; who picked those?"* is resonated with my ADHD soul.
That is EXACTLY how it feels sometimes.
funniest line
@@camilagrijalva4109 "daddy needs to stim!" is better imo
This perfectly describes why I hate “how are you?” because like, what do you say? Just saying something like “pretty good” doesn’t make any conversation, so i feel like i should say something more than that, but also not too much so it’s not annoying? We should collectively say something new and not as confusing to respond to.
I don’t even ask “how are you” I either ask questions relative to the situation “how is the food?” “How was the trip?” Or if I’m passing by people I say “hi! Have a great day” I haven’t initiated the “how are you” dance in ages and when people ask, I ask back out of obligation
I love how there are significantly more yellow thoughts than red ones
As someone without ADHD, this video is the best representation I’ve ever seen that helps me understand what it’s like
Finally a comment that doesn’t say “as somebody with adhd” like dawg I get it it’s relatable congratulations you want a medal?
@@WuddizzupAs someone with AC-DC I can relate to that
@@Wuddizzupyes, where’s my metal
A description I heard years ago was, ADHD/ADD is like having several tabs open and you flip between them every 4 seconds while listening to music.
good
my best friend acts JUST like this, and the best thing that has ever happened was her reading a story I've been writing and anotating it with ALL of her random thoughts she gets during.
It took us 2 hours to disect 4 [short!] chapters worth of the story, I love it
I'm a writer and I find this both cute and insanely neat for getting inspiration.
Great idea!
I wish I had a friend like that in my life. The closest I can find is my mom, but I need someone outside my family to be able to understand me like mom does, since she's not gonna be around in a couple decades TT_TT
Awwww!~ Echy You'll find someone , hugs from me ☺️. it so nice that you have that with your ma though cherish it while you can so you can look back on those memories
@@rottenchameleon it helped a lot! She caught weird sentence structures that I didn't notice, she needs a smooth read and her stumbling over my wording was a sign that it was off or unneccessarily complex. Her funny notes kept me entertained through editing the four chapters and they got a little better because of her!
they also just were really funny and out of pocket-
@kiwimiwi5452 That makes so much sense!
My texts are quite the difficult read as well. I am certain that your friend can catch something that studied editors can't.
I wish ADHD people had places in society like you gave your friend!
Let her know that some stranger on the Internet thinks she would make a great line editor!!
this is genuinely helpful. almost all of my friends have ADHD and this will help me be more considerate.
I think the most relatable and accurate part of this is the one central voice trying to command control but he really only has just as much control as all the other thought processes.
I describe it as the loud voice and then every other thought wirring around it. Every few seconds the loud voice just catches a thought and goes, "This is what we are thinking about now."
As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD, this is exactly what happens in my head
Ok
The quote I always use to describe a conversation with two people with ADHD is that you will start your conversation at squirrel and it will end at shower heads. And if it's a conversation with someone without ADHD when the other person has it? That conversation ends right at squirrels after you blurt out some psycho fact about them making you look unstable...
Alternatively, you'll start your conversation talking about strawberries and that'll be the only thing you'll talk about for the next 5 hours without a single break
@@thesquareanimator5161this sounds more like autism xD then again there's alot of crossover between the 2. (I'm autistic and my best friend has ADHD)
I have ADHD and I dont think this is accurate at all but everyone experiences it differently ig
@@Colyl0R I agree cause hyper fixation is indeed a trait of ADHD
The difference (as far as my research goes) is autism typically will be passionate about one subject for a Really long time while ADHD can have a short term intense passion for something instead
Help why is this so true. 😭
ADHD haver, this is so damn relatable. Random bits of the conversation opening new tabs in your head like wikipedia links, reminding you of random bits of info that you now really want to share even when the conversation has long since moved on from it etc.
Also "I am sitting here talking but now my head itches/clothing suddenly no longer sits correctly so now I must f i d g e t"
Same. I always have to have some part of my body slightly moving or else I just feel weird
This is probably the best representation of adhd in media I have seen. It avoids the trope of audio compiling a bunch of random whining noises, and actually, quite originally explains the process of your adhd brain trying to fix itself from beings sidetracked whiles getting sidetracked in a weird meta way. It shows that you’re aware but it’s hard to fix because it’s your brain itself that is flawed. And fills in the much lacking void in most videos on the topic.
ADHD and ASD here, so there’s even more social skill issues. I’ve never seen such an accurate representation of trying to hold a conversation with these conditions! Amazing job with the animation as always, Gingerpale :>
Yeah, I feel you. Autism plus ADHD is this video, but I can't stop noticing the tiny sound your chair is making and that you missed a hair shaving and that the lightbulb buzzes slightly, and that the sun is reflecting brightly off the edge of something metal and that...
I’m the same way
Yayyyyyyy I’m not alone
as someone who isn't diagnosed this seems way to relatable and it's scary
BEWARE of medication💊.
Once regimented - FORVEVER will it dominate your mental state.
yeah thats exactly me
Same thing
See a specialist about it, srsly.
Having ADHD isn't too bad. I mean if you want some help, there's a lot of resources out there
What an award-winning animation!
🥺🥺🥺
Yes
@@GingerPale my favorite part 1:04
𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙥, hey that's my job, f**k you
it’s accurate how a adhd person can think and talk i should know im one i tend to space off than interrupt the person because i aint got a clue what their talking nor did i want to be rude but i didnt care sometimes im up front and say “not in the mood” or “Dont care”
You know its gonna be a good day when Gingerpale uploads a video.
Can't be _that_ good of a day. My hamster died.
amen to that
I hate how accurate this is lol. The coffee part killed me! I've legitimately done that before, thankful since my friends also have add/adha they get just as distracted and we just forget the old conversationa and start a new one. Also I love the hands animation, it's so weird!
Trying to stop myself from info dumping hurts so much at times. It's like, you KNOW you need to let others talk as well and you KNOW it's bad to interrupt, but holding back the urge hurts so bad.
@@MsVilecatSame i just feel like im trying to sound smart (i don't want to)
Funny how when I was a little kid I used to give my thoughts tiny characters and one of them was the leader. Kind of eerie how similar it was to this video
i have music constantly playing in my head 24/7. its crazy
As a teenager with ADHD, this is the best video that represents ADHD, really, I'm gonna show it to my psychologist next week, amazing animation and amazing explanation
Psychologist liked the video
nice@@skinkmaker
@@skinkmakersiiiiick, psych people are dope i love em
I love how relatable this is even though I don’t have ADHD. 😭
You might have adhd
yeah people seem to have adhd symtoms without having ADHD it self but if it really affects you check it out at the doctor
Well we have something to tell you bucko.
You DO NOT need to join the ADHD Fan Club.
I think MOST people can relate to this considering the variables in mental health that can come down to simple nutrition levels on any given day.
@@NPC-bs3pm we might have news for you too
As someone yet to be diagnosed, this is very accurate for me pft
Just add in 'getting a song stuck in your head the whole talk' or multiple that change in and out
Okay good I'm not the only person who usually just has a song in their head the entire fuckin day and will sometimes just jam in pure silence because I'm thinking of it lmao
wait wait wait you're telling me the song thing is an ADHD thing?
The worst part is sometimes I go to work, hyper focused on what I'm gonna do, but then I take a break or someone asks me about something, I explain and then I'm distracted for the next 6 hours until I go into panic mode and start doing everything I could've gotten done in an hour, 6 hours ago.
"Hey that's my job" "fuk you" had me dying😂
Talks with Gingerpale.
*Puts a phone in front their face, with Subway Surfers playing on their phone.*
1:05 Dang
As a person with... possible ADHD...
I'd that this is totally... like the most accurate to what it's like.
I find this really relatable.
As a person with ADHD, i too do cry inside whenever someone talks to me about something slightly mundane and then go on a rant about random things until i dont even know where i am anymore
I love how in topics is says “positive reactions to inside out 2” when the actual inside out 2 is coming out on June 14
These videos are amazing, I didn't realize why I liked them so much aside from their goofy humor and art-style until I was actually diagnosed with ADHD, this video was extraordinary and tbh I want a sequel!
The intrusive thoughts bit got me, man. It got me.
Same bro
2:21 Yes, very relatible when just say some random fact your head held on to
My son and I both have ADHD and I just want to say thank you for making this. It's terribly accurate but also fun. :)
What is worst is when your teacher tells you important information but you can barely pay attention to what the teacher is saying
“It’s true and relatable” is my exact reaction to this video 2:43
Ohhh so the yellow ones are THOSE kinds of thoughts
I would totally watch a tv show about GingerPale’s ADHD brain
This was such an accurate representation of ADHD. This visualized how I feel on a daily basis. Glad so many others can relate to this. Awesome video!
It's so funny cause I've seen people with ADHD do the opposite of this to.o. One example off the top of my head is when a neurotypical asked them how their day had been going and they interpreted that to mean that the other genuinely cared about how they were feeling, so they went into a long rant about how they were really sad recently for several reasons and then the other person clarified that they just wanted a simple yes or no.
Yeah, as someone who is neurodivergent I do the tangent kind of response 'cause I think they actually want to know, I've only ever gotten the yes or no thing from neurotypical people so it was interesting to see some neurodivergent people also feel like that-
It depends, because as someone with ADD, I give "yes or no" answers to people I have no interest in talking to. If I have interest in talking to them, Im open and honest. Plus, saying they only wanted a "yes or no" despite sharing their struggles is kinda rude... Ask and you shall receive.
@@GuiriTV
That helps me understand a lot! Thank you! :D
And ikr! Even if they weren't expecting that response, this person still opened up to them and they just shut them down TwT I felt so bad for them.
as a person diagnosed with ADHD, completely relatable, still never able to have important 1 on 1 convo's lol
As someone without ADHD, this feels so relatable for an unnecessarily long ass convo.
As a person without ADHD, I find this video very relatable
3:05 my thoughts:
My brain constantly is running a random image, music, my thoughts, what, I see, what I hear, what i feel, memes, and games.
as another person with adhd, i can't find anything more accurate. especially the part where he talks about one singular part of the conversation when spacing out.
I've never been diagnosed with well anything but I relate to this soooo much this feels exactly like what goes on in my mind
@SaturdayNightLiveLive *idi*
Get a diagnosis from a specialist, srsly.
@@YouShouldClickOnThisidi n7
Thanks GingerPale, this video is very true and relatable! 🙏
Yellow ones are so relatable like "I can end it all right here and now and they will find me in 5 days minimum"
ADHD and ASD here, the best thing you can do is be funny and know your audience, that way when you completely derail the conversation at least someone laughed at your funny joke about shrimp fried rice that went "you're telling me a *shrimp* fried this rice?"
It's either like this, or the complete opposite where you feel like you're dominating the conversation and the other person says nothing.
As someone with AuDHD, this is one of the most relatable TH-cam videos I’ve seen
is audhd austimsmsmsbvfhmfx bjhvhju kgxhkux dh plus adhd?
if i have ADHD, it's currently undiagnosed, but let me tell you, I feel so painfully called out right now, especially with the overanalyzing how something crashes to the floor
but hey, analyzing these microscopic details against your will is what turns you into a better writer.
Now if only I could stay focused for long enough to actually release a completed product
Dude, "yes" is totally the most appropriate answer for every question.
As an autistic person, I can relate to this (this is why it’s sometimes stressful for me to socialise and/or I can’t always concentrate on important stuff). Sometimes I just have too many thoughts in my head and things get too overwhelming to the point where it feels like my head could explode, or it’s sometimes the other way round and I have ideas about what I want to say but either I struggle to get them across properly or I’m scared I’ll dominate a conversation with stuff only I’m interested in without considering others.
as a guy with ocd the part where the thoughts made your brain explode and one of the ‘we don’t talked about them’ thoughts just tried to worm its way out was weirdly relatable to me
Oh em geee sameeee
ISTG I watched that seal video just yesterday or some shit. Picking that video out of all the random crap you could have picked was so good from my perspective.
In my experience, my thoughts only really start wandering when the other person is boring as shit. I don't have trouble focusing when they have something interesting to say that I actually want to hear.
Hooray, one of the 4 animation TH-camrs that I have subscribed to has posted for the first time in idk how long! And whats this? A 3 minute video?! Man you know just what I need.
Sometimes I have to do this thing where I tap my foot really fast but then people ask me if I’m alright or if I’m having anxiety and I have to explain that “No, my brain is just weird”
The making sound effects part when you do things is very on point.
I am gonna use this video to explain new people how my head works, thanks for this valuable resource Gingerpale!
I love the animation style it's so good!👍
I always love when people do brain animations like this, so creative and educational even.
I have the opposite of ADHD, OCD. I get stuck on thoughts and not able to move on. The part I related to most were the yellow thoughts, "We don't talk about those." Only, instead of many different yellow thoughts, it's one yellow thought constantly and infinitely cloning itself until the glass breaks.
The pain is real
I just love of how the animation is and how they act, I just love it😂
This is actually relatable, although my head doesn’t blow up in the end.
I’ve never been diagnosed with adhd, but the thing with the seal was highly relatable. If someone gets the wind in their sails though and proceeds to describe their whole day I zone out and listen to music instead of going into total thought meltdown
This video speaks to me. Thank you for making this 😊
The *biggest* relatable moment in this video was one of my thought people saying “fuck you” to one of my other thought people.
This is exactly what goes on in day to day conversations for me 💀
Really needed to watch something that makes me happy at this very moment
I think my little ADHD brain dudes are working overtime cause i sat here stimming for 10 minutes trying to think of a response. Love this alot!
I fill in details whenever people are talking so I can think about something else and listen back and forth. My brain cycles in and out of focusing on their words every few seconds. It's like multi-threading on a CPU (or something like that lol).
This is the most relatable piece of media I have seen in a while
I am not diagnosed with ADHD, but I relate entirely with every single second of this videos.
this whipped ass, thank u for making this
felt. i try to condense my day to the most interesting or notable stuff if it's there at all
3:22 lol
As someone with undiagnosed ADHD, this is so true. I'll literally be sitting around and then realize, "wait, someone's trying to talk to me", and then zone out again.
Just a heads up, you shouldn't self diagnose yourself, I'll give you this one since ADHD is very easy and common to self diagnose because of how common it is and easy it is to spot but at the same time self diagnosing shows a lack of respect for people who are actually diagnosed as you could just be fidgety, naturally fast thinking or just younger than 16 lol, and not fully understand what people with the actual illness go through on a daily. ADHD is a lot more than what's portrayed in this video though, no mental illness should be seen as just "quirky" yet that's what I've noticed a lot of self diagnosers do - they claim to have something in which they clearly don't and treat it like a personality trait and that their just so "quirky and different" E.G you cant diagnose yourself with bi-polar without seeing a professional as that's just very disrespectful "my mental illness is not your sweater to wear" stuff like that, and you likely don't have it. Personally I have all been diagnosed with both of these things so I'm just a bundle of "fun"
My ADHD just makes it so I only pay attention to bits and pieces of a conversation. And it's only what my brain translates to important stuff.
This is so awesome! I love your videos
Wow an ADHD video that I actually can’t relate much to! I don’t have ADHD but most “adhd” videos are stuff that I can relate to completely, and while some things here I do, like fidgeting, all of it is not relatable to me at all! That’s great!
Look at this neurotypical NERD here
Get ‘em, boys
“Hey thats my job!”
“Fuck you!”
**dies**
The fact that I got distracted from this video, started stimming and focused back in right when they started stimming 😂
That captures me perfectly, in more ways than I once thought, or am willing to admit
I relate to this a little too much for my comfort.
This man always knows how to make me laugh
The aggressive "Don't. Interrupt me." when he's just trying to be involved and make clear that he's listening
This is literally so relatable and o can vouch that we do have mutliple voices in our head that will think of any and everything and not focus on one thing.
As someone with ADHD, I agree with this man's message.
I’m a person with ADHD and this is my brain every day. 0:29
This is relateable,
Those thoughts can only be hold back for so long.
"those are the thoughts we don't talk about" the most relatable line cuz man are there some thoughts I wish I never had
