No is the brain booting up

big ol’ bowl of reboot loops every morning, and then randomly during the day.

What’s wild is that it’s anything but quiet up there.
Passerby6497@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I get quiet sometimes, but I never know if that’s because they thoughts stop talking, or if I’m just taking off my headphones and just not listening.

I thought this just meant I was an NPC and there wasn’t anything I needed to be doing that would eventually impact the Main Character. er… which one of us is the Main Character, btw?
Pencilnoob@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I got a lot of thoughts, takes over the whole machine sometimes

This is why I need familiar music playing when I’m getting ready. I have no clue how much time is passing but I can intuit it based on part of the album I’m on.
Cruxifux@feddit.nl 3 months ago
Really? I should try this.
can@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
Totally, it’s been my strategy for as long as it’s been possible. I’m pretty in tune with my library and music is ever-present in my subconscious so it’s a perfect for me. YMMV.
Infynis@midwest.social 3 months ago
I do this too! I otherwise don’t listed to music at all, but when I need to be somewhere, it’s the best way to keep track of time

I time my showers like that. Average 7 minutes
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 months ago
7 minutes!? But it’s so warm in there and so cold out here.
LANIK2000@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I occasionally do the same with an album I know takes almost exactly 1 hour to play. Have it in the background and roughly know what time it is.

Nice! Habit forming routine!
On work days, I have a routine that I knock out that takes about an hour. And when I’m finished, i do so much that I’m ready to tackle surprises. On days off, everything falls apart.

This is normal, it just means your controller is afk

Oh thank fuck I was worried I broke or something

Hopefully they switched controllers with someone else, because my player has really sucked lately.

Y’all are doing this in the upright position? Try fetal and become a pro.

Just don’t get out of bed for a while every morning. It helps to think about all of the things that are going wrong in the world.

You ever think about how often you’re doing stuff for other people who wouldn’t do a damn thing for you ever?
gt5@lemm.ee 3 months ago
Now, never because I no longer keep people like that in my life.

Oh yeah stop doing that. I stopped that years ago and it’s great.
I was on the receiving end. I have a friend who for two years, would message me about hot sauce and send me photos of hot sauces he’s tried out. Probably like 20 images He sent me a box of hot sauce when he came over one time.
I do not share the passion with him at all and he did not take it well when I let him know that.

But what if you tell yourself they would despite all signs to the contrary?

I’m quite literally the opposite
People do shit for me that I don’t know how to pay back
ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
I have such a hard time when I need to stop doing one thing and start doing another, especially when that requires traveling somewhere. This gets me in trouble fairly often.
gerryflap@feddit.nl 3 months ago
For real. It’s so annoying. I’ll waste more time by procrastinating than it actually takes to do the thing. Every switch costs so much energy

“I can’t have ADHD. I can sit still for a very long time.”
peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 3 months ago
Literally my parents. And teachers. I was “such a quiet kid” who did well in school. Never mind the fact that I would chatter to my parents and brother to the point where they’d actually get rather upset with me interrupting everything.
Turns out I excelled on tests solely because it was quiet. The doodling and daydreaming I did managed to keep just enough information flowing into my brain that when it came to tests, I just worked through them like puzzles.
I remember classes after I started taking Ritalin in highschool. Holy crap. I actually remembered learning. It was incredible. I didn’t have to figure out things on my own. Tests were even easier because I had the answers beforehand.

Meanwhile I’m trying to get diagnosed as an adult but because I got good grades as a kid and didn’t actively commit crimes all the time I’m being told that it’s impossible that I have ADHD
It’s so frustrating
MutilationWave@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Really feeling myself seen in this. I didn’t get diagnosed until this year and I’m 41. I did texts just like you and I excelled at school until college hit me like a brick wall. Puzzling through tests got a lot harder when you have to write answers that demonstrate your knowledge of the material I never read.
BUT, that skill of working through tests like a puzzle is a good one to have. I’ve never heard it put that way but you’re exactly right in calling it like that
Right now there’s no regular work in my job, but you can go online and take classes from the parent company and get paid. I picked one that I will literally never have to know anything about, which was estimated at 8 hours. I skimmed the material for half an hour then puzzled through the four tests in half an hour. One hour for eight hours pay. Yeah I can do that.
