I wonder if it's vaguely related to the evolutionary "fight or flight" response?
I run way faster with other people than by myself based on that effect.
It's definitely a mental/adrenal response.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoI don't have ADHD as far as I know(which it seems is helpful to those folks), but I still use body doubling. My use of body doubling tends towards tasks that I have an negative emotional response or apprehension towards. For example, paying an unexpected bill, or making a difficult phone call, or writing an email to someone I don't like. You could say these situations are triggering in the sense that they trigger the fight or flight response and arranging to have someone in the same room during those tasks down regulates that response.
