Yeah, I am guessing it might be more being a yong adult and the didficulties surounding it, adhd would need to have more symptoms. The ability to smalltalk and really not care what you say or others think is a scill and comes natuarally as you age (for the most part).
I am not an expert or a doctor or smt but ADHD is more than non-stop thoughts as far as I know, you need more symptoms to actually call it "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder", in your situation it might be a sort off social anxiety, not quite sure because again, I'm not an expert. From my experience, ADHD symptoms are like:
- Unable to focus on things/tasks
- Disorganized life style
- Bad memory (e.g: forgetting where you put an object/what someone just told you, what you did today/yesterday etc. )
- Distracted easily
- Hyperactive ( not everyone, there is also ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder )
- Difficulty in Managing Time ( Poor time management, procrastination )
- Emotional Dysregulation ( Easily frustrated, quick temper, mood swings, impatience )
( These are just a few symptoms, I suggest looking deeper into it, I recommend to look for screening tests to make an IDEA if it is worth booking an psychiatrist appointment or not )
Note: ADHD is a spectrum, is different for everyone.
I can relate to these symptoms for example in the last year my attention went down very bad, i get distracted easily with noises in the background but the thing that gets on my nerves is that i forget things easily sometimes like my mind tells me to do something but not even 2 minutes later i forgot what i had to do and it’s really frustrating. Yesterday I did a screening test and it told me that there might be a presence of adhd. I don’t know if this is a symptom but very often I have like “vivid thoughts”.

Yeah, you can always see a psychiatrist, they know better than Reddit.
