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…

Why does energy go away when you more need it to finish what you have started, dammit.

Because telling people about your goals gives you a similar dopamine hit as actually completing them, so it makes you less motivated to finish.

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…

Well now I would need to redo it with Godot.

I’ve had so many hobbies, sadly I know the feeling well.

Anyone want a battery operated coin sorter?

Ah yes, another self diagnosed ADHD trait. It’s just so quirky, amirite?!?

I hate seeing so many people stating they have ADHD while they have just self diagnosed it without consulting any doctor. People actually having ADHD suffer from these kind of people because everyone thinks it’s funny, quirky and cool to have.

Sorry for the rant, I took more time to write this then I wanted 😵‍💫

Y’know, you’re breaking HIPAA by talking about this online.

Oh wait, you’re not her doctor? Then how exactly do you know anything about this?

Yeah there’s human quirks and there are quirks turned up to 11 so they’ve become something else.

I’m really tired of randoms using psychological jargon without any training, and I’m just some dumbass in therapy with no actual skills.

Making fun of yourself can be helpful at times. You don’t know they’re self diagnosed.

A professional charges $200/hr, so we get seen a few times per year at most.

I’ve fucking read the relevant chapters of the DSM V more times than she has. This isn’t the dark ages, this is the information age. Stop gatekeeping knowledge, bitch. I know myself and my symptoms better than she does, because I fucking live with myself and she’s just that annoying not-relative that comes in and after half-hour solves all my problems and tells me how to live my life and then “WOW I’M HEALED THANKS SO MUCH” —now fuck off and write my scrip so I don’t have to go to the darkweb for my shit that I hate but enables my neurodivergent mind to function in in the way that’s at least partially compatible with this fucked up society.

The trick is to tell no one until you have something substantial worth sharing :)

This is actually really, really good advice for adhd people. Telling people your goals gives you a dopamine hit like actually completing the goal does, so it makes your brain less likely to continue since it already got it’s fix.
