      I know a lot of people in this thread have been responding about forgetting things, but that’s not what I read in the OP meme, and it’s not what I’m referring to. It’s not that I forget, necessarily, it’s just that at some point the desire to leave overrides the desire to, say, walk across the room and get something, even if I need it. Like a glitch in practical logic.

      That goes for my second example. The issue there isn’t that I remembered something that I forgot, but that my brain won’t take the action of going back. That brief turnaround to get the thing is insurmountable compared to just dealing without it. Even if logically that’s untrue.

        Oh I get you! I do that every day and it’s fucking absurd. I’m having real issues with executive function.
