Introvert. Also probably neuro divergent. I treasure my solitude, my few friends, my books and time to think. Now that I am retired, I allow myself measured doses of social contact. Always got overloaded easily: too hot, too bright, too noisy, too many people. Had to get away. Nature and time alone are absolutely necessary for my mental and physical health. So, yes, I too, live alone with my cat.

Stereotypical (non-American) high school teacher. I run on coffee and stress, my fingers are permanently coated in marker dust, I own a dozen laser pointers (non of them work) and hate grading papers. I can make a barely passing grade feel like a medal or a 95 feel like a gut punch. I can silence an entire classroom with a glare and make you love my favorite book. I tear up as my students graduate, heard every I-swear-I-had-my-homework-here story and written more report cards than I can count. After 20 years of teaching I feel somewhat worn-out, and I am always complaing about kids talking too much, cell-phones, tik-tok trends, over-protective parents, bratty teenagers and school budgets. Still, I wouldn't do anything else in the world.

I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid. I don't bounce of the walls a lot -- I'd prefer looking at a computer or reading a book to going outside -- but my attention is a cliche. A few months ago I was distracted by a squirrel outside the window, and that's just the most cliched one I can remember.

We have what we call "parkour squirrels" who live in a little crevice between the two houses opposite our big living room window. When we see one of them bravely climbing up or along the vertical wall, we always shout "SQUIRREL!" because it's truly a marvel how they manage to climb like that.

hey ADHD pandas! Is this weird? So basically I’m not trying to be a person who claims they have ADHD (ADD or even other things) for attention, but I have noticed strong ADHD traits in the past year or so in my actions. Sometimes I can be bouncing off of the walls, other times unable to get out of bed. Once again, I’m not trying to get attention, nor do I know if it’s even ADHD but I was just wondering bc I show many ADHD behaviors and traits, and my grandma, mom, and my moms two brothers have it. Edit: I sorry this is confusing but the part I’m confused abt is being hyper one day and slow the next
Danish Susanne 1 year ago
I don't think I have any traits that can be diagnosed, but if I saw a squirrel outside I certainly would be distracted.
Hey! 1 year ago
Just last week, apparently I started 5 conversations (one after the other, without finishing) with my husband. Then he just looked at me and started laughing. I wasn't sure so I laughed too. Then he asked me: "Which one of those statements is the most important for me right now? Just finish that one first." I really need to get checked out for ADHD.
