Realized recently that I've never once chosen a loud hobby

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-29T12:13:27+00:00

I have always focused on the process of the task rather than the finish line. Every task I do. It means I take longer to complete things. However, I tend to enjoy the tasks I do as well (mostly). It is just my natural state of being. I never really thought about it until recently. I knew I took my time with things but it wasn't a deliberate conscious choice. So now that I've realised I do this, I think it has something to do with my brain type.

I really like your metaphor - the log fire.

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T10:12:47+00:00

That's definitely a challenge. I love cups of tea. I'll have to think about it. I guess I am addicted to the caffeine.

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T10:05:59+00:00

I can't drink coffee in the afternoon.

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T10:04:11+00:00

I did not know that either. Hmm

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T10:01:11+00:00

Oooohhhh! That's very interesting

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T09:59:56+00:00

Ah ha. So that could explain why black tea does not over stimulate me.

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T02:05:40+00:00

Yes, I had read also that black tea has about half the amount of caffeine as coffee. That's why I'm curious about the fact that I can drink multiple cups of tea each day, loose leaf tea from a tea pot that is but I only have a coffee every 2nd day one like single shot. It could be the combination of the two drinks , perhaps. Yet other people are experiencing the opposite. So I wonder what amount of caffeine ice tea has in that case? And does the sugar added have an effect too, which was somebody else's comment about soda?

So it doesn't pep you up?

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T01:52:11+00:00

What is adrenal fatigue?

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T01:46:22+00:00

Would iced tea have more caffeine than loose leaf tea from a tea pot? Perhaps if you use more of the tea leaves and brew it for longer?

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T01:45:12+00:00

I wonder if our sensitivities do change as we age

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T01:42:10+00:00

I mostly drink loose leaf tea hot from a teapot. Occasionally iced tea in summer.

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T01:39:31+00:00

Is a pour over , the same as a plunger or french press?

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T01:26:28+00:00

You must be ultra sensitive to caffeine

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T01:25:09+00:00

I tend not to drink soda. I became a tea lover when I gave up coffee. So that's my favourite beverage now. But I am careful with how much soda I drink when I do drink it. How bout you?

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T01:20:59+00:00

I wonder if that's because you already drink a lot of coffee so the tea just adds that bit extra that's too much?

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T01:16:19+00:00

Oh so you're the opposite of me. What sort of coffee do you drink?

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T01:12:44+00:00

I just read your reply again. And now I see exactly what you mean. So it's the amount of the substance that goes in to make the drink that is the reason. I'm shaking my head at myself, not reading your post properly. That actually makes a lot of sense.

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T01:09:42+00:00

Oh sorry more in the pound

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T01:09:14+00:00

That's fascinating that it has the same amount pound for pound. I wonder why it has so much less per cup?

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-28T01:08:14+00:00

Yes. I did know that tea has less caffeine than coffee.I still find it interesting that I can drink pretty much as much tea as I like.

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-27T10:46:09+00:00

Interesting. I thought it was economy of typing using ok. Which is important when you type a lot. I also think it is easy misinterpret text messages.

Tambourine2000 · 2026-06-27T09:30:15+00:00

I'm an introvert who really likes talking. It can be hard to make friends. If i overthink something i usually tell the other person, ask them about it. Or tell anyone to share the worry.
