10 shits people with short attention span can relate to

Having a short attention spam may sometimes be a blessing or a curse depending on the situation. It can be a blessing because this means that negative thoughts will never be something that you dwell over, but it is also a curse as this means that whenever you want to focus, you will be easily distracted by almost everything around you.

For those with short attention spans, here are some things you can say, “OMG, this has happened to me before”.

Bad cooks
Having a short attention span usually means that when it comes to cooking, you are a kitchen disaster simply because the moment you turn ur attention away from whatever you are cooking, the outcome would usually be something that is either burnt or taste so unappetizing you won’t want to give it to anyone else to try. Because it’s too cruel to do so.

You have multiple tabs open on ur internet browser
When surfing the net, you will have multiple tabs opened in one window. You’ll be clicked “Open in new tab” on every link that interest you, and when you finally took note, you’re wondering how the hell everything got there.

You never find the time to finish a book series
Most of the time, you will find novel series such as Harry Potter an impossible task to finish. The only books you read in a series are usually the first and last novels, because hey, it’s the end that matters, right?

Doing revision
Whenever exams are around the corner, I’m sure you will be telling yourself to focus and make sure that you complete whatever is required for ur revision. Unfortunately for you, the moment you spend more than an hour or two on revising, you will get off your seat to get a drink of water, take a toilet break, or some half-baked excuse just to walk about.

At the end of the day, you will find yourself aiming for half of whatever you aimed to complete. Anything beyond that is a bonus.

You hate long queues for food
Queuing for stuff is something that is part of every Singaporean’s DNA and if you find yourself in a line for food, most of the time your mind will wander off about everything else besides what you want to order and when it’s your turn to order, you will be struggling to remember why did you even queued up in the first place

During lectures
Lectures are the worst enemy for your attention span due to the lecturer’s amazing ability to hypnotise you into sleep. Most times, you’ll only remember the important parts or the fact that your eye candy had a haircut.

You hate people who beat around the bush
When they drone on and on, you’ll drift off and nod to everything they say even if you are not listening. They could ask you to go out on a date with them and you’ll just nod distractedly.

Walking into rooms without remember why you did it in the first place
Going into a room and then wondering why you did so is definitely something you have done before.

Missing your stop
Getting off at your destination is an achievement to you sometimes because one moment you are texting on your phone 2 stops away from your stop and the next moment you find yourself missing your stop and having to alight and taking the bus or MRT in the opposite direction to get to your intended destination.

Conversations
Your conversations are usually short due to the fact that you almost never fail to sidetrack. After a while, you’ll wonder what you guys were talking about in the first place.
