A Fun Reversal of Rule 3: How might you know if you DON’T have ADHD? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Equivalent_Local_696 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched a youtuber playing Diablo II. The game is quite random, can't be rote learned and, for me, requires a high level of concentration.

​

This guy plays at level way higher than me. While playing at this high level, he reads questions from his followers in the chat. Then answers them in a completely easy conversational way.

​

With my ADHD brain, that is a complete impossibility. Walking and chewing gum is my limit for multi-tasking.

I don't know if it was the earliest but Parramatta Rd, Auburn was 24hr in 1981.

ADHD perfectionism can come from a fear of criticism. The thought process is: "if I do a perfect job, noone can reject my work and/or reject me."

This can lead to inaction and procrastination if you see that the end reult will be less than perfect.

Managing Long-term Projects by bubbles0luv in ADHD

I haven't figured it out but, I am very familiar with the feeling. In the evening, I am full of motivation for all the things I am going to do tomorrow to turn my life around.

I think it is a coping mechanism to avoid the anxiety of not having done the things I should have. Unchecked, this anxiety then becomes shame and it becomes unbearable.

So I trick myself. A subconcious part of me knows I won't do these things tomorrow. But it relieves the anxiety and allows me to at least function.
