    Imho, the expectation that we musts et goals and achieve them is partly due to the society imposing this on us… Yet it’s true that we must still set goals regarding food and sleep!

    When I’m by myself (ex: backpacking), I try to avoid setting goals, and to go with the flow. The hardest part is not to overpay for things when normies assume that “not planning” is a good reason to screw someone over. (ie: they didn’t book in advance, so off course it’s normal to charge 5x the price!)

    I decided that I don’t want to be a virtuoso at the guitar, I just play for fun. If I can’t practice a full hour everyday because of my ED, I no longer care.

    I like the nomadic/sedentary comparison of ADHD/normie. When things are steady and unchanging, and planning is usefull, then ADHD sucks. When things are chaotic and unpredictable, ADHD is a superpower (and medication hinders it).

    My ED goes away when I need to react to a problem. Not sure how this extends to other people though… I’m good at problem solving, so I don’t get anxiety in front of the unknown.
