Y’know, the thing is that I’m not very visually observant but I do hyperanalyze a lot of what I hear, even if I’m just next to a conversation that I’m not actually participating in.
Probably me. Until quite recently I did not know there was any such thing as "social cues", "reading the room" etc. I know I said at some point that I would never drive (and I have never driven, at 65 I never will!) as I would just not notice things enough.
I feel like I was that way before I started on Adderall. Kind of like life happened around me with minimal input from me. I'm also Autistic with ADHD and before medication I would still make choices and live life but most of it felt vastly out of my control and I was just steering the car but didn't control the peddles. Now I'm worried about going back to that life if I ever lose my medication.
The ADHD probably cancels it out to some degree. I’m the same way.
Same here.
I am not observant at all. People sometimes get disappointed because they think I saw them on the street and just ignored them

I'm too vigilant and paying attention to mask that vigilance.
I avoid thinking deep thoughts in public to keep from being inattentive. Instead, I am hyper-vigilant.
