People without ADHD apparently only have a "few" interests, like for example are just into politics and rugby, as opposed to the rest of us who are into politics, rugby, needlepointing, jet skiing, bread baking, Formula 1 racing, ska, tubas, and Sailor Moon until we pick up learning Thai next week and discover modular synths. tbh I found this quite shocking. I cannot even imagine what that is like. No wonder they have so much time to do their laundry.

What

How do they live like that

Oh my god is this why so many immortality plots in fiction have the absolutely nonsense moral of "be glad you're mortal because you'd otherwise run out of things to do" like try me

Seriously. My video game backlog is already several eternities long, not to mention all the other shit I do. Surfing is an all day activity.

I often say I'll never be bored on my own. I cannot relate to people who complained about having nothing to do during the pandemic. Being holed up at home? Yes please, suited me fine.

It does make it suck more when I have so many interests I'd like to do, but go through a big dip in motivation.

Someone I work with has no hobbies. So he just works constantly. I cannot fathom it!

As I get older and my pile of interests continues to grow, I value my own time above most else. There's so much I want to be doing!
