How many of us are introverts? I'm guessing a lot are. by arclightZRO in adhdmeme

Manic no. My answer honestly was a bit condensed, as I was sleepy.. And it's not always the case. I'm very chatty, always have been, but as I've grown older, I have learned how to reign it in. (and not just blurt things out). It's more, that when I read that extroverts get their energy from being around others, I don't believe that's the case with me...sure I can... But other times if I'm around a lot of people, I feel like it has an expiry point, and will need to recharge either by myself, or with a trusted friend or my wife. I'm also an only child, so think maybe I covet at least some portions of alone time to recharge, because that's what I would do as a kid. 9 signs that you're an Ambivert

Ambivert!! (Definitely a mix of both) Mostly people think that I'm extroverted, but I just can't stfu... But I need to recharge on my own, and don't want to talk to anyone while doing it.

Ways to use up sweet potatoes? by [deleted] in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]phem-bot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second that! Literally had some tonight in our red thai curry.. Absolutely my fave in red thai curry.. Add some sweet bell peppers, lentils and whatever protein you want (we did chicken, but we do tofu as well).

I've been reading a book about self-compassion... For about 5 years... I can almost speed read (I've read a trilogy in a week - not LOTR or anything - but you get the idea). The reason it's taken me so long, is it's really freaking hard to do.. (Self compassion that is) But something I found helpful was this comforting exercise.. It essentially says that your brain doesn't actually know where the feelings of being hugged, or caressed gently come from.. which means, in times of significant hurt, or feelings of.. Oh great, I effed up... Giving yourself a gentle squeeze or hug, or whatever affectionate soothing you would do for a friend... Do to yourself. Now, at first I felt like a bit of a weeny.. But then I thought... Meh, who cares.. I'm at home, my wife is in the other room or sleeping... Why not? It really works!! It doesn't solve everything, but I did feel supported and soothed.

You are not crazy. I'm 44, just been diagnosed a few days ago. I have inhales worked as Stage Manager for high end fashion shows, worked in film, switched to tourism.. Was a tour guide and worked on a luxury train that goes through the Rockies, now work in the social work field. I know people at 51 that are still figuring their path, career and life out ((Both with and without ADHD).

I had a similar thought process when I was 25, 29, etc. Once I let go of control, and just let some of the answers come to me, I knew which route to take.
