I relate a lot with ADHD posts i see online, and feel seen when i watch content creators that provide advice on how to manage ADHD symptoms (mainly How to ADHD on YouTube). Though I've also noticed that these symptoms can overlap with the effects of social media addiction, especially TikTok. How can you tell the difference?
This has been the case for me my whole life, and I am wondering if it's the same for anyone else. When i do tasks that require repetitive motions (such as scrubbing a counter), aside from the actual noise it makes (if any) my brain starts to make its own sound that goes with that motion. This can go for seeing repetitive motion too, like watching a bunny hop, or even when reading. For me, the sound is almost always mechanical.
Does anyone else experience this? If so, do you think it's connected to or specific to hyperphantasia, or is it something the majority of humans possess? I tried looking it up and didn't get any accurate results.
