This type of “now this friendship is in focus, now it’s not” time-blindness is really common with ADHD folks.

      I’ve never understood recency bias in friendship. If we’re friends, what does it matter how long its been? Why does a relationship degrade simply because time has elapsed? Is your brain so fickle? Is there no expectation of continuity? Loyalty? Does a treasured item that’s been put in a drawer for a time lose its innate value?

      In this regard, I prefer my brain to whatever the hell normative is; I don’t require constant or regular affirmation to remain steadfast in my beliefs.
