RE: Navigating my Way Through Life with "Too Many Interests Syndrome!"
The ADHD club! Hello @denmarkguy,
This resonates with me pretty well, as I can probably do anything, as long as I genuinely feel like doing it. It makes me come off as a space cadet, but at least I'm never bored. Hyperfocus is definitely a blessing, and although I'm still caught in the trap that I have to choose something indefinitely, I'm learning slowly that being myself is A-OK!
Thanks for sharing this, it's always nice knowing you're not alone.

It's always interesting to see just how many independent/self-employed people are all over the map. I'm pretty close to concluding that there may be a causal relationship, in many cases... I am self-employed because I am not good at doing the same thing, all the time.
Some would say I should just find some pharmaceuticals so I could become more "normal." But to what end?
But yeah, you're definitely not alone.
Sorry for the late reply @denmarkguy,
The difference I see with those "who appear everywhere" is that they genuinely enthusiastic about the tasks they take up! I am not self-employed, and for me it is difficult to do multiple things in a rapid succession. I can do a few things really fast, but I often experience difficulty in finding a good fit.
I think that receiving medication only covers issues without problem-solving head-on, and oftentimes feels more like a cop out if anything for me.
It's nice to know that there are others going through similar things!
Mahalo,
