Obviously the real solution is never talking to anyone ever again, instead living as a hermit in remote mountains with your only friend being a bear that tries to eat you several times a year
The trick is to tell no one until you have something substantial worth sharing :)
Exactly. Or never at all because you know eventually the obsession will fizzle out.
Everyone has some of the traits, but they don’t have ADHD unless it has enough negative impact to be a disorder.
The problem being a lot of people with it might think the negative impact is a personal failing.
Plus it raises the question of people who would otherwise be said to have it but have developed successful coping mechanisms independently, but what else are you going to do for something you can’t physically test for?
Same. I was diagnosed with OCD decades ago but yet I seem to have these sorts of tendencies as well.
Yeah like when I made a binder full of geothermal information and half baked ideas that probably already existed, only to never touch it again 2 months later…
3 years ago I decided to try making a SpaceX DVD (for fun) with most important milestones. I just needed to add end chapters for proper behavior on DVD players and 1 video. Also fix colors on one titleset menu.
I gave up on it. It’s mostly finished, but I gave up. It is the only reason I still keep the dusty Windows 10 installation on my laptop. I didn’t know DVDStyler also works on Linux, and migrating the files would be too much hassle.
But maybe, later…
Edit: Fixed the date. Apparently 2020 was 3 years ago…
Why does energy go away when you more need it to finish what you have started, dammit.
Or making a joke that implies knowledge of a subject. Then everyone thinks it’s your passion when it was just a prior obsession.
I SWEAR I DONT LIKE DND GUYS I JUST KNOW THE RULESET Explaining that is borderline impossible lol
