My friends called me recently on the phone and they started saying I changed. Asked why and they said I am mean and I ignore them. I had no idea what they were talking about. They say they talk to me and it seems like im listening but I turn to someone else to talk to. I told them I had no idea it was happening and they had a hard time believing me. I told them “you know how hard it is for me to remember things and notice the obvious. If I knew u were talking to me I would have talked back”. They said sure.
They forgave me but this has happened a lot according to what they said. Im just wondering if I have ADD or something like that. Im really worried that it’s going to happen again and I really don’t want them to get mad at me. And sometimes when they talk to me on the phone I have to keep reminding mysef to listen because start thinking about other stuff. And one time I wasn’t suppose to tell anyone something I was told from the phone but I didn’t remember them telling me not to tell anyone so they got mad at me then too.
Is having a hard time noticing obvious things, remembering stuff, and paying attention a part of ADD or another type of disorder?
What should I do to get better at noticing obvious things, remembering stuff, and paying attention?
Please and Thank you for helping me.

This is a medical problem and you need to be examined and analyzed by a doctor to determine its cause. We can't help you at a distance or diagnose your problem. There can be many causes and it's useless and even harmful to guess. Please see a doctor. If necessary, he/she will refer you to a specialist.

Maybe you don't have ADD - is it possible that your friends talk on and on an on.... and you are trying to be nice but in your heart you know you are BORED? I have friends that like to talk and talk about themselves and you want to be a friend but it is really and truly boring? Think about all these things that you supposedly can't remember and that you aren't paying attention to.... is it important stuff or just girls chit chat. It seems that "they" are feeling you aren't giving them your full attention... but maybe they are expecting you to be very interested in something that is boring. If this is what is happening, don't worry too much about it or blame yourself. Some friends are really boring. Either put up with it or find yourself some more interesting friends. If you had ADD you would have other symptoms that go along with it and should see your doc for a real diagnosis.

If you have alot of things on your mind then that could very well be your problem. I used to have the same problem when I was raising my children. I was so focussd on that I would forget dinners at work and partys. I just could not stay focussed on anything that didn't revolve around my kids.
