ADHD is basically the only reason I’m able to work in the area I do, I have absolutely no formal training in it other than what I taught myself while procrastinating.

I’m lowkey jealous of neurodiverhent people who obsessed over tech. My fixation is emergency medicine. Now I’m a jaded and traumatized EMT who can barely pay rent lol

I’m in a software development-ish role (slightly too specialised to say I actually develop software anymore)

I often envy people working in IT. It feels like the perfect field for ADHD people. For me it feels like it’s too late to change over. (I’m in my early 30s.) So I think it’s gonna be best to just try to be happy with my current job. After all, wanting something else than what you currently have is very ADHDish…

I’m old. Before internet, I would read the encyclopedia for fun, and spend hours in the library.

Growing up in the 80s, we somehow had an encyclopedia set from the 60s. You bet your ass I was reading random (possibly outdated) crap all the time.

I literally had to ban myself from TV Tropes for life.

Not gonna link it since I’m pretty sure that doing so in a community like this one counts as a war crime 😄

Oh god, TVTropes is like fucking crack cocaine for my brain, I’m like a wet sponge after those endless rabbitholes. I have had the most difficult time explaining to others what it’s about, but I’m quite content for it to be my own little getaway.

Hmm this sounds like reading about old wrestlers on the lives they led on Wikipedia for me. I’ve spent hours upon hours doing that, and I don’t know why. I haven’t watched wrasslin in 35 years.

Dude, even mentioning it violates some international convention. There goes the rest of my day.

The only thing that saves me from that site is that some point in the past it became browser cancer. Not sure if it’s gotten better but I don’t intend on finding out.
