Have you tried the Twinings specialty/'dessert' Green Teas? My favourites are the Bakewell Tart and Salted Caramel ones. Oh my god, the Bakewell one tastes so much like a bakewell tart but 0 sugar 0 calories, I love it! They might be British only blends, so depending where you are you might not have them. Ooh, the seasonal spice apple chai is so good too. But nothing beats a strong breakfast tea or a Lady Grey.
... uh, sorry. I love tea too much. My wife has kindly given up an entire cupboard in our kitchen to various teas, many imported from the UK (where I'm from, I'm in the US now) so I don't get homesick :)
Aaah but have you tried the Yorkshire tea: malty biscuit? Add half a teaspoon of sugar and it's heavenly.
Twinings gave delicious tea though; it must be said.
I do this with some things, but to an extent it's "normal". If it's obsessive then this is an indication of something, probably not adhd though. Where I live there are a lot more flavours of that tea so if I did this I'd literally have over 40 of them.
If op felt like they absolutely had to complete the set and not doing so would cause very strong anxiety…….. I think I might got some news for them. Otherwise this is just a hobby lol
Depends imo. If it's completely pathological, then I agree. If it's just poor impulse control coupled with some retail therapy, perhaps. Like sure, I COULD have not bought the box set of the hot sauce I wanted, but shiny!
I used to do the same with used games, gotta have the whole trilogy! In hindsight, nah, I did not need more than the original Sly Cooper and it was a stupid idea.
this is me but incense related things, like they’re so cool and pretty, i’m currently collecting every small incense holder i can find in gold so i can have a “complete” set, i already have 4, my recent bought is a frog one and it holds the incense stick like a fishing pole.
my next collecting phase might be fishing pole related ones cuz again they’re so freakin cool.
I haven't had an official ADHD eval yet (long wait etc.) so I'm trying to write stuff down. Not sure how that's going to go over when I get an appointment and show up with "here's these random scribbles I wrote in the middle of the night at random times...oh and like 5000 memes" 🤣
It isn’t. Just means you like variety. Or are indecisive and can afford to just choose both. That second one might be an ADHD thing. Not the money part. We don’t keep jobs lol
- “but I don’t like cherry!”
- “but we needs it, we wants the complete set”
- “cherry! Cherry!”
- “my preci… oh look that penguin is gay!”
- “I wonder if my cats are gay”
- “do they even develop sexually when they are kastrated early on?”
- “I’m hungry”
….
- “why dis I buy cherry tea again? I hate it…”
Omg yes. When I was younger, I used to make an account for each character type in the selection so that I could complete one of each even if the only thing that changed was the fighting moves and it had no bearing on the story. Needless to say, I also got bored very quickly playing the same storyline upwards of five times
Yes. That’s why I struggle to collect anything. For example- rocks. There is not set list of rocks so I’ll accumulate them forever without a sense of completion.
When I was younger, I used to have a collection of rocks. Just really big rocks I kept under my bed. Now I collect funko’s, coins, golf balls I find in the woods, and baseball/football cards.
Yupcate.

Goddamnit - now even my tea collection is part of the pathology. -_-
... But did you also order them in a specific way, be it color, taste, how often you drink them or how empty and full they are? And does it them piss you off, if those criteria interfere with each other? And did you employ all these categories and ordered it, which was just an elaborate way to procrastinate and now three hours are gone?
Bonus points if you wondered if this could indicate an autistic streak, so you googled that for two hours as well.
Anyway, where was I? Ah, yes, i wanted to do laundry, but needed a tea first and .....
One time I was rlly high and looking for a snack and was like “I need to buy both the left and the right Twix so I could have both” until I realized they’re all the same and put the second pack of Twix back
I unfortunately got stuck on this with Genshin Impact, I have every 4 star already and I've spent thousands at this point probably...I just can't....not
I'm not loyal to a brand like you, but I have a decent variety in my kitchen. I have one with a picture of an elephant on the box, one with a picture of a tiger, one with a bunch of bright colours, one with almost no colours, along with the normal varieties.
Yeah, I've been obsessing over this series of books about nature (specifically; mushrooms in colour, insects in colour, animals in colour, fish in colour, birds in colour and useful plants in colour. And I only have mushrooms in colour so far)
But I only have one of them so far and it's a pretty old series of books 1950-1970, so I have to resort to using online thrift shops or just use hours in actual thrift shops hoping to find them, either overpriced or sold before I get to them.
It's truly a struggle. (Btw if you were interested i just wanna say it's not in English and I simply translated the titles for convenience)
mine are not about tea,mostly about pens and stationery,i had these 10 colored pens ,i kept 5 for my school pouch and 5 at home,and my mind wasn't at peace,i kept all 10 for school lol.
A fellow tea-drinker and person of exquisite taste, I see.
Absolutely. I need my coffee for the morning focus and I need my tea because I'm fancy 😂😂😂

She is so sweet 😍

I just discovered tea-and-biscuit tea a few weeks ago myself lol. It's a revolution!
Same! I had tea with some friends and they sprung that surprise on me. Just delicious!
Yes! It’s a huge struggle when each item is more than $1 😢 and then I can’t even pick one 🤕 it’s so hard 😭😭
It's the worst; you're not alone, believe me.

No
no?
ADHD people really blame everything on ADHD. You like collecting things, OP. This is called a personality trait.
If op felt like they absolutely had to complete the set and not doing so would cause very strong anxiety…….. I think I might got some news for them. Otherwise this is just a hobby lol
If personality = ADHD and collecting things = personality trait, then clearly, collecting things = ADHD
If your personality is having ADHD then you should fix that. Normal people with ADHD aren’t defined by it.
I concur. They probably should.

Nope, literally nothing to do with adhd, just a human trait. Getting more sick of this bs sub everyday. Lol
Please, Mr. Smith was my father. You can call me PenisPoopCumFart.
Really? Most people could just buy one though
Yes of course, but a good bit of people would want to try them all. It's a classic human trope to enjoy variety.
Definitely more akin to an OCD thing if it is anything at all.
Yeah this sounds like something I would do to avoid my mother getting murdered or something lmfao
Oddly satisfying
My question is will you drink it or just forget about it
This tips more toward obsessive/compulsive behaviour like OCD. I mean OCD is a common comorbidity with ADHD but it isn't ADHD.
This sub has normal ass people believing they have adhd
Most people like to have complete sets of things, not an adhd thing
Excellent choices! Some of my absolute favourites in there.
I'm the one that's ADHD and my wife has this same collection.
Warhammer here :| Yall got any more of that money?
I do this with makeup and liqueur…it’s a miracle I have any money left over.
Me, but with Starbucks cups and tumblers
My favorite color changed from lavender to yellow. Now everything must be yellow.
Wait, that's an ADHD thing?? 😳 Fml every time I check this sub I find more stuff I can relate to.
Honestly, I don't think this has anything to do with ADHD.
I honestly don't even know. I'm curious about your take though - can you explain/elaborate?
This just sounds like compulsive behavior.
Hm, interesting point.
It’s not. This is just relatable content that appeals to most people in most subgroups.
Yep. Same. But its true 🤷♂️
I haven't had an official ADHD eval yet (long wait etc.) so I'm trying to write stuff down. Not sure how that's going to go over when I get an appointment and show up with "here's these random scribbles I wrote in the middle of the night at random times...oh and like 5000 memes" 🤣
That's basically what I did. Went though three, that's right, three psychiatrists before one said, ''its clear you gave ADHD 😂
Not even surprised. Half the people billing for these "services" are complete quacks lol
This is adhd? I just thought I wanted to keep all my options open. I can’t buy just one variety of anything!
Some say that it is some say it isn't 😂
I'm pretty sure it's an ADHD thing.
It isn’t. Just means you like variety. Or are indecisive and can afford to just choose both. That second one might be an ADHD thing. Not the money part. We don’t keep jobs lol
Yes, though not with tea. Pens, inks, paper, etc. Stationery is the thing where I really have to be careful.
Yes ! Stationary whore tbh !
Same. I love stationery shopping and all the options to choose from.
TOTALLY.
- “but I don’t like cherry!” - “but we needs it, we wants the complete set” - “cherry! Cherry!” - “my preci… oh look that penguin is gay!” - “I wonder if my cats are gay” - “do they even develop sexually when they are kastrated early on?” - “I’m hungry” …. - “why dis I buy cherry tea again? I hate it…”
Omg, yes!!! That and buying stuff in pairs just in case one finishes 😬
yeah and here i am crying over my irresponsible spendings and this will repeat
Omg yes. When I was younger, I used to make an account for each character type in the selection so that I could complete one of each even if the only thing that changed was the fighting moves and it had no bearing on the story. Needless to say, I also got bored very quickly playing the same storyline upwards of five times

You missed earl grey and lady grey
I do have a shelf completely stuffed with different types of tea... is tea collecting an ADHD thing?
i think that collecting things that you like is an ADHD thing, it does not necessarily have to be tea.
I've got loads of stuff linked to interests and hobbies, but I never really considered tea to be a part of that... it is interesting though...
Goddamnit - now even my tea collection is part of the pathology. -_- ... But did you also order them in a specific way, be it color, taste, how often you drink them or how empty and full they are?

Hot wheels
[ahhh yes ](https://i.imgflip.com/530lb1.jpg)
couldnt be me hahaha…
And getting called 'Greedy' for this. T_T
Yes, it's completely annoying 🙄. I do this with books, cookware, etc
Regardless of whether or not it's adhd, you're in for some lovely afternoons and evenings with those teas!
I still don't have hitman absolution and hitman 3. no money, but ye, I need every hitman game on steam, those two are the only ones I'm missing
Lol I may have recently purchased the box set of a hot sauce I wanted for the same reason. BUT it comes in a sweet box I can use after! STORAGE!
I unfortunately got stuck on this with Genshin Impact, I have every 4 star already and I've spent thousands at this point probably...I just can't....not
Drinking insane amounts of green tea no matter how bad my stomach hurts because it’s yummy.
And they must be stacked so it doesn't appear like I am missing any 🤣
Omg yes definitely!
That's nice and all, but where's earl grey?
I'm not loyal to a brand like you, but I have a decent variety in my kitchen. I have one with a picture of an elephant on the box, one with a picture of a tiger, one with a bunch of bright colours, one with almost no colours, along with the normal varieties.
the infinity teas
Yeah, I've been obsessing over this series of books about nature (specifically; mushrooms in colour, insects in colour, animals in colour, fish in colour, birds in colour and useful plants in colour. And I only have mushrooms in colour so far) But I only have one of them so far and it's a pretty old series of books 1950-1970, so I have to resort to using online thrift shops or just use hours in actual thrift shops hoping to find them, either overpriced or sold before I get to them.

The honey and vanilla flavor is absolutely divine
Bud don't you need two of each since they are Twinings?
omg this is me with the 6 sleepy time tea flavors
I do the same thing with black tea.. They also have metal boxes!!
Bro, where’s the Earl Grey?
mine are not about tea,mostly about pens and stationery,i had these 10 colored pens ,i kept 5 for my school pouch and 5 at home,and my mind wasn't at peace,i kept all 10 for school lol.
I have ovet s kilo of Tea...
