And then they look at their lives and they're like, how on earth does this work?

This feels terrible.

How am I ever supposed to succeed at anything in life if I can only do one thing a day?

And this kind of goes back to these chronic feelings of guilt and that I'll always be in trouble, always feeling like some chore or activity that I'm doing, I'm doing wrong and I should be doing something else.

There's a lot of feelings that come with that.

So let's understand this.

People with ADHD tend to be environmentally oriented.

OK, this is sort of a simplification, but we know that people are very sensitive to their environment.

OK, and there's a great quote, which I'll pull up later if I if I get a chance about how, you know, if someone is prompting you to do something, you can do something.

So when you get excited by something in your environment, it brings out a lot of like good energy.

You get super hyped about it.

The relationship between what happens in your head and what is happening in the outside world is very close together.

So neurotypical people can separate the outside world from the internal world.

People with ADHD have a lot of trouble with this.

And if we listen to Dr. Michaela, she's like, you know, these are variants and we should stop trying to make those people neurotypical.

I completely agree.

It's a huge part of what I do.

I started preparing for this stream this morning.

I just could not be bothered to deal with this until like basically this morning because I was doing something else before then.

And if I start preparing for it two days from now, it's going to be really hard for me to focus on what I have to do two days ago.
