I am 38 men.
Since primary school, I remember I have not been attentive.
It is dangerous since I forget myself while driving etc. I forget my little children,
and they can each dangerous situations.
It also upsets and stresses my wife much. Others make fun of it.
Also people tell me I look disconnected.
Besides the danger, also forgetting myself, causes me to drop things etc.
I do think that I have improved much, with a lot of effort, though since my twenties, and I also became much more organised.
I also dealt with and improved emotional and social issues during this time.
Otherwise, I am a programmer, and I don't find it difficult, to work.
So it seems to me that the problem is that I forget where I am, and what I am doing, and I don't pay attention to the important aspects of what is happening, and I think a lot.

My main concern is how not to risk myself and others in dangerous situations.

Also I wonder if I became inattentive, due to emotional difficulties, and loneliness, because, I don't think I was like this before the age of six, although I am not completely sure. or was I born like this.
Once I met a psychologist and he told me that emotional intensity causes me to be inattentive.
I wonder if attention can be improved or cured.
Also I am upset with myself when this things happen.
Actually only lately I realized that the problem I was suffering so much is ADD, and I would like to hear advice.
