Few comments back someone mentioned Germany and for some reason it's what my brain decided to run with 🤣

Sorry, I confused another commenters post for being OP.
Edit: Apparently Belgium uses the same rules as I described above. ADD = ADHD. If OP was truly diagnosed, they'd have known that.

I literally acknowledged that some parts of the world still may use that terminology - though when I did research for Germany specifically, they didn't even start acknowledging ADHD as a diagnosis until 2018 and I couldn't even find anything about ADD no matter how I worded my search. If someone can find a source for me, I'd appreciate it.
I came in hard because it was unrelated and the only time I see people using random diagnosis in their stories is when they don't even suffer from it.

If you knew it had nothing to do with the story then why did you even include it? 😒 having a diagnosis of something doesn't mean you get to try and glamorize it every chance you have. It was a useless detail to the story, even if you DO have a diagnosis.

Whatever you claim to be diagnosed with still has absolutely no relevance to this story. You made a quick purchase because you're smitten and wanted to impress the new girl you've been chatting with. ADHD isn't a cute little issue of "omg, I can't believe I bought the wrong concert tickets". It's a genuine struggle for those who have it.

Perhaps so, and good to know. However OP had no reason to list a diagnosis in this story, especially when added in randomly during a laughing fit and discussion of getting a refund. Too many people are making self diagnosis these days and it's beyond annoying for those who actually have to deal with it.

Google too hard for you? Here since you couldn't do a simple search for yourself. I'm gonna go off on a limb and say you're just self diagnosing at this point. Anyone with an actual diagnosis would know it's ADHD and they haven't been using the term ADD since the 90's.
I also didn't need to "make a link since I know so much" - I have an actual ADHD diagnosis.

ADD is an outdated term - it's ADHD.

I'm not sure what having ADHD has to do with laughing about the situation and then discussing getting a refund? Was just a weird thing to include. Unrelated 😅
