Going where I belong.
One of the most frustrating things about being ADHD is the way hyperfixations and skill levels work.
So I, an ADHD person, will get obsessed with A Thing. I will research, I will practice. I'll check out library books, watch YouTube videos, seek out podcasts, all to learn everything I can about The Thing.
Thiat Thing is often a skill or hobby. Painting, writing, candlemaking, baking, mixology, tea blending.
But the thing with ADHD is that you'll be obsessed with it only to a certain skill level. Something where all the mystery is gone. It's not as fun once the learning part is over and it's just boring practice to get better.
Then abruptly, you'll lose interest and move to another fixation.
That skill level you've earned may be higher than your average person with a passing interest. But it's also lower than someone who specializes in said thing, who has put in those hard hours of practice and work.
So you start just forming this miscellaneous collection of things that you're good enough at to earn some praise, but still leave you feeling like you're just never *quite* good enough at anything because you can't just choose anything.
And you want to pick a Thing. To find Your Thing. The thing that fits, that you can finally excel at. But you just can't seem to.

This blog is a safe space!
I will not tolerate hate on my blog,
so racists, transphobes, homophobes,etc gtfo.
Other than that I'm a very easy going person so don't be afraid to interact!
do you ever start writing a comment on the internet and then think âoh what the fuck am i going on aboutâ and delete it
one of the best feelings is knowing that youâre wanted. knowing that someone wants to talk to you, wants to know how youâre doing, wants to see you.
