Instead of looking at yourself, for what you enjoy, perhaps look at a career that benefits from how you are wired. I would encourage you to look at the start up world, where learning new things on behalf of the team that you’re in is how you all win. Solving problems is super fun, and changes constantly. Good luck!
Might make you feel better, I'm almost 30 and all I can say about myself is: oh no
...because I've only had an unpaid internship at a car dealership (many years ago).
I think the only hope I'd have is if I could find somewhere better to live without money (such as an intentional community) but even if what little I can regularly do now were acceptable/desired enough to get room and board, because of health (body and brain) I don't know if I could even be reliable enough for that. I feel like I'd need to mesh well with the community too, and as an oddball shut-in even pre-2020 I don't have high hope for that. Plus I don't expect to find all this within biking distance (I'm in a somewhat rural area (USA)).
I don't (think I) have ADHD though, instead SchizoidPD/depression (but who knows w/brains though, eh?)... though I'm in a similar spot with hobbies (and never did enough personal projects to get actual skill/anything to show).
I'm chronically ill and I have ADHD. I can't work right now, but I suspect that if I ever get to work, I will probably do a lot of different things over time. Sounds fun. If I had to do the same thing my whole life, I'd be more depressed.
You might do well being self-employed in some way. That way, you have greater flexibility in changing "fields".
To echo @_Rook_, I think therapy would also be useful here. Maybe even some kind of medication adjustment.
AuDHDer here, I honestly wish Reddit would quit their bullshit and go back on their proposed changes so that I could go back to my normal routine. Of course, they probably won't, because Reddit doesn't give a shit. Anyway, I've been trying to stay off of there to support the blackout, but old habits die hard for me so I've accidentally logged in a few times.
Kbin seems like an OK alternative. Not so sure about other instances though. Thinking I'm gonna stick with Kbin stuff until I figure out what's what.
I felt like that a majority of my life. Now, I kinda accepted it. I have limits, but I use everything I have to make everything work, and by miracle it work
What annoys me the most about shit like this is people don't seem to understand how much more important it is that I just START the task, as opposed to doing the task efficiently. Like I don't care if it's not the absolute best way to do it, I just need to do it.
This man also published a really good book to understand ADHD, both for people suffering and for people surrounding, which is called "Taking Charge of Adult ADHD".
I ended up watching the whole thing, and then again with my wife. Really solid lecture. I'm now subscribed to his youtube channel and have his book on my kindle, though I've only read a chapter in the last month.
Didn't realize what you posted was just a clip.
Definitely an interesting clip, he's actually a really engaging speaker, I'll give the 3hr bit a shot... while I'm also browsing kbin.
Does Kera Desktop only support web apps?
For now, yes. Support for Linux apps is perfectly possible and on the roadmap. For other platforms, we will see what’s possible.
I’ve gone radio silence except for setting up my little spaces on the Fediverse >:3 My husband thinks I’ve been very understanding of his hobbies, and internally I’m* completely oblivious
