People constantly telling me i was so relaxed growing up. No shit, I avoid stressers like the plague, to the point my brain threw out my emotions in high school. Everything only started resurfacing when I became an adult and I couldn’t avoid stressful stuff like being healthy and having to work and clean up after myself
I’m the type that sits quietly doing everything except the thing I should be doing, feeling anxious about that thing, and staying so quiet that people even forget I’m there.
My partner and I are both of those. She's the anxious one and I'm the "fuck it" one. It works out alright, she can get more done, and I can calm her down when it's not actually as important as she thinks it is.
Oh hell yeah, substance use is written all over the latter but even the fuck it lmao persona will hit the neurotypical brick wall from time to time. I’d still put all my chips on lmao and spin the wheel. 47 years of second guessing myself is enough.
Reading the Getting Things Done Method edition 2 I noticed the author seemed to have established excellent strategies for coping with both ADHD and mild megalomania brought on through a successful self-help writing career
I love how the top comments are complete opposite for the same reasons, lack of energy. Personally I’m so goddamned anxious changing the conversations 10 times a minute to try and distract people from how anxious I am. Also stroking my beard constantly, chewing nails to nubs and pacing around constantly
