I wasn't the most well balanced kid. I'm sure I would be "diagnosed" if I were an adolescent today. I was in the outsider caste in high school. I hated sports.

I wasn't the most well balanced kid. I'm sure I would be "diagnosed" if I were an adolescent today. I was in the outsider caste in high school. I hated sports. But I loved doing physical activities outside: hiking, swimming, camping, cross-country skiing. I credit this activity with my failure to develop any severe mental illness. That and the fact that the portable 24x7 entertainment and self-loathing generators had not been invented yet.
