Your symptoms suggest a pattern of excessive internal focus with distractibility, daydreaming, procrastination, and emotional sensitivity. This can be seen in conditions like ADHD (especially the inattentive type), but also in maladaptive daydreaming, anxiety spectrum issues, or personality traits like high sensitivity. The key point is whether these symptoms are persistent, impairing your functioning (work, routine, relationships), and present since earlier in life if yes, ADHD becomes more likely. Emotional reactivity and rejection sensitivity can also overlap with ADHD or occur independently.
Since there is overlap and it cannot be clearly diagnosed based on this alone, a structured assessment (history, screening scales, functional impairment) is needed. I would strongly recommend consulting a psychiatrist for a proper evaluation and to clarify the diagnosis, as management differs depending on the underlying cause.
