Is this an adhd thing?! I haven't been diagnosed but this community makes me think too many times "i thought it was just me".
Because of the tweet did i have to remove my bonus thought it felt unnatural in this context ๐
Back on track: Sometimes do i want to add a parentes in a parents and it hurts every time.
No. A lot of "ADHD thing" tweets/memes are just quirks common across a wide spectrum of people. That they happen to also be common in those with ADHD is just coincidental.
For parentheses specifically, it's just a personal writing habit, and there are other ways to communicate "a thought followed by a bonus thought" without having to use them โ hell, parenthetical clauses themselves don't have to use them. Parentheses in particular are probably a result of some people being taught that "a sentence is a complete thought", which is a nice description for someone just learning grammar, but also not actually true.
