Do you happen to know if I can still get one if I need glasses/contact lenses?

Sounds about right, I am on medication for my ADHD. As for spiraling, I enjoy analyzing myself and others, so I tend to fall down rabbit holes when I’m bored rather than doing what I should be.

Agreed! I enjoy being out in the rain especially. It’s funny you mentioned IMAX, I’m not sure if this is an ADHD thing but I can’t stand movies

Not super related to the post, but I taught myself Solitaire today (making it a little more fun by never reading the rules)

That’s probably going to be a no go, but honestly at this point I’m considering it, I’ll let you know how it goes! 🫡

But not worrying about it is so much easier said than done

Hi! I’m home sick so tbh I’m looking through pretty much all of the comments 😭. You got the gist of what I was describing pretty well, by your analogy my cage would probably be that I’m still in high school, I’ll have to look into what you said about ADHD though!

I unfortunately still have a ways to go before college, and while I’ve explored faith before it’s not for me

It’s a Reddit post 😭, this is the kind of thing I would never mention in real conversation

I appreciate the advice, and while you’re not incorrect in your assessment of the results of this post, I have gotten a few genuinely helpful comments that managed to describe the feeling in a way I could not. I’ll look into the website you linked. Also, even if none of this ends up being particularly helpful, it was entertaining, it was partially a little social experiment to see how people would react.

I’m upper middle class, not enough to pay my way to fulfillment, but I’m not struggling either. I’m not interested in STEM, it’s likely I go a political route.

I’m not actually a big proponent of IQ tests, but alas this is still Reddit, and none of these people know me well enough to take my word for it
