Hyperfocus is simply fixating something and being unable to stop doing the task when needed and move to something else depending on the situation. I really wish we had a better mainstream term for this because "hyperfocus" makes it sound like it's something good but in reality it's not good at all. :c

Yeah me too, it can get me in trouble sometimes. What bothers me more is people making dismissive comments about how everybody has adhd these day, completely ignoring the fact that it's often debilitating, and detrimental to most every aspect of your life.
