Same here. I can read people but the lack of atention and the fast switching between discussions is putting people of. Also big problems connecting with people.

Same here. I can read people but the lack of atention and the fast switching between discussions is putting people of. Also big problems connecting with people. I just dont answer or engage socially to the point that people find me antisocial.
Another problem is the energy I have and reflect upon others. They just think I am agitated or nervous. But inside i am super cool….thats just me ….. btw adderal helps a lot but still ….do i want to be someone who is only workable with medicine?
- steveklabnik 5y agoRegarding your last paragraph… it’s a struggle for sure. Here’s where i personally am at, dunno if it will help you or not. I have needed glasses to see since I was a young child. While I could get Lasik or whatever and not need them anymore, I would never think to myself, “do I want to be someone who is only workable with glasses?” There are multiple options and all of them are okay.
- bratwurst3000 5y agoThats a good point. Thank you. I have to reflect upon it but this angle is interesting
- steveklabnik 5y agoYou’re welcome. I did/was/still struggle with it myself too. We are constantly bombarded with shitty attitudes towards this stuff, and it is very hard to unlearn IME.
- spiralx 5y agoWould you judge a diabetic person for taking insulin? That's a somewhat similar situation, but it doesn't have the stigma of mental health attached to it, and there most definitely is such a thing. Your brain is part of your body and bodies can be born with all kinds of issues which we try to fix through science and medicine, whether it be an issue with your dopamine or with your insulin.
