Watching everybody around me moving fast and getting things done while im just sitting there staring off into space thinking about something totally unrelated. Then feeling stupid because, most of the time, i drift off into oblivion while everyone else is talking about a certain topic. I just sit there acting like im paying attention but, in reality, im wondering how long it would take to fly to Jupiter from the Moon in an airplane. lol

Ouch that sounds painful, it's almost like a disability when it isn't managed, is that fair to say? Are you aware of how long you drift off for or is it when someone grabs your attention or you think of something that must be done immediately? You gotta remember you're constantly multitasking so don't be hard on yourself for it, if i have one thought on my mind that is really bugging me it is all i can think about and i end up not accomplishing much then feeling worse for it.
Don't be ashamed of being spontaneuous and interesting, yeah you might not be following others around you but if they are decent people they would carry on your topic of conversation without complaining about it. Even before i knew my friend had ADD i always carried on her conversations when no one else did so she didn't get upset, feel ignored or segregated from the group chat. Hopefully they learn to accept you as you are.
