Because it takes slightly less mental energy to sit and stress than to do the thing. (lemmy.world)

My brother in law has ADHD. He lives next door to me.

He has a car he parks on the street. In my city you're required to get a registration sticker for your car, it's like $100 or something, good for a year. Every day you don't have a valid sticker you can get a new ticket on your car. It takes two minutes to go online and order a new one.

For the last three years, hes been racking up tickets on his car for an expired sticker. One a week roughly, $60 per ticket I think. He usually lets them pile up until he gets final notices then pays them all online at double the cost.

Twice now he's has his car booted, then impounded, due to unpaid tickets. He even includes tickets on his car as part of budgeting. I've offered a couple times if he'd hand me his license to go online and order the sticker for him. I've stopped offering since that offer is met with intense anger.

It takes TWO MINUTES to go online and order a new one. Poor guy

I sometimes can’t order food for my cat online for months and feed him with some local shop one when it runs out at the last minute

Or litter same story.

It would be cheaper, more choice, maybe healthier but I can’t force myself to sit click on site, choose one, find credit card, type it etc.

So I always wait till last drop of cat food runs out and then full of guilt hurry outside to search for open shop. At least there is less choice in local shops.

Choices paralyse me. I will spent hours thinking which one to choose even if it’s completely minor and especially online as IRL I simply can’t stand too long I have to grab something.

Also one shopkeeper I think thought I was into her I think but now after a while she just looks sad and annoyed when I come instead of joyous and kind of eee weird but I have no idea to be honest it all may be just overthinking which is also a problem. I am fucking clueless and I don’t even know if I was/am interested. Probably not right I would know if I was I hope it would be obvious like idk heart pounding or whatever. Right? Right?

The intense anger is probably something he could work on.
