If the people around you are noticing your inability to focus, sure it could be. But more importantly it's what you feel. There are six and a half dozen reasons why you aren't focusing. Also, is this a comment that you've had throughout your life, or just in recent times. The lack of focus is a consistent quality in ADD folks, not something that just 'pops' up now and then.

ADHD is more about an inability to control focus. Sometimes I'm very focused, It's just that I can't always control when I'm focused and what I focus on.

ME :D

This hits the nail on the head. If people are telling you to focus its probably because they want you to focus on something they think you should be interested in. Eg your work, your homework, the housework, ur driving etc. You could be very focused on something at the time just not what they think you should be focused on. A lot of ADDers hyperfocus, then try and distract us...
