For part of my childhood in the South I lived in Tornado Alley, so wide open spaces in the REAL WORLD don't bother me. However... the few times I've ever used a VR... Y'all know that endless white landscape when you log into a VR for the first time? THAT TERRIFIES ME. Maybe don’t play Superliminal then? Theres a part where it’s just empty space, and another with hundreds of thousands of lights like those on the side of the highway. Also I’m kinda terrified of things falling in the middle of the night. For example if I’m lying in bed and I hear something fall over outside me room, I’m scared out of my mind. Mostly because I don’t have a door, only a curtain, which doesn’t provide much protection. (My door got messed up so that’s why I don’t have one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you say it's horrible? If you want to, go ahead. Totally up to you! If something goes against the code I’m so confused and I have to “rewrite” it in order to understand. This usually conflicts with emotions too cause emotions are irrational and I’m trying to rationalize them. I have a tendency to apologize a lot and ask people if they want me to say, do, be ____? Lets see. Mind you these aren’t like to die for fears, more like, everyday anxiety and stress. 1. one of my friends or someone I know being in the restroom with me. (They didn’t come in with me) 2. my hair being greasy or icky. (There’s some past ‘trauma’ ? To this one) 3. Throwing away -particularly food- trash in a classroom or around other people. (I shove it into my lunchbox) 4. Eating pasta in particular in front of people. 5. Touching someone’s foot with my bare foot. (It’s just… ew… nobody touch my bare feet please and thank you) 6. someone on an upper bunk falling onto me (it comes and goes lol) those are silly little things tho some more serious things 1. a pet or loved one dying and not understanding how to grieve 2. dropping a knife onto my foot by accident 3. Being replaced by my best friend (I am a jealous and overprotective person I admit. Mostly in self preservation) 4. Moving again 5. Accidentally hurting someone I love physically or emotionally I don’t trust people… like ever my best friend who I’ve known for 3 years… she still literally had to shove me onto her in order for me to give her most of my weight when she was giving me a hug and snuggles. (My love language is physical touch) I NEVER trust enough with my body weight. Hardly even family. I just can’t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll twirl my pencil a lot, or bounce my leg almost constantly, or sometimes I even just start bobbing up and down when I'm with my friends without really thinking about it (they think it's hilarious, and actually I do too ). Second of all, I have a hard time concentrating on things for long periods of time. I'll be in school, in math class or something, and I just zone out. All the time. Hate it. Thirdly, I have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep, which doesn't help with my fidgeting or concentration, either. I also talk a lot, which doesn't sound like a huge deal, but when I say a lot I mean A LOT. Not even interesting things, just random things that pop into my head. And maybe that's not a symptom necessarily, but I've heard of it being one. Oh and I hum and sing a lot without even realizing it. That one's always a bit embarrassing afterward. What about you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually struggle to focus on important things so my mind wanders. I’ll hyperfocus on things and I have a tendency to be obsessive over things. I have a love for certain textures and a dislike for others. I’m not super picky on food, I like a lot of food, but I eat in snacks usually and not meals. I get fidgety a lot and I’ll bounce my leg in class or carry around fidgets to fiddle with. Loud noises and lots of things and moving parts annoy me a lot, I usually try to avoid them. My anxiety is at a high during times where there’s a lot of people or noise or things to see. I’m a very touchy persons I love physical touch and affection, I dunno if that has anything to do with it but that’s a fact about me. I’m an incredibly observant person I notice waaaay to many details, overhear conversations, focus on random things like how many ceiling tiles there are. I also have a really high emotional intelligence so I’m always noticing changes in peoples behavior. I’m easily irritated by a lot of people and often impatient (I’m working on it tho lol). I also don’t like change so that bugs me sometimes like if we have to move our lunch table it frustrates me cause the noise and stuff is coming from a new angle. Etc. ig. So yeah, some of that might have nothing to do with it lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhyEverNot_8 he/him Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Yea, another friend of mine takes them and he hates it. I don’t and probably won’t because I can manage most of the time, but it’s hard. Another reason I won’t is because I want to be able to be a pilot (not commercially) and for that I can’t take certain kinds of ADHD medicine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Through The Living Glass She/Her Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Yeah... it's not cool at all. I just kind of deal with it though, y'know? Not much else I can do. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I have a friend on ADHD meds, and he's like 'oh yeah these could cause this problem and this problem and all these problems and actually it could even make it worse' and I'm like 'I'm good thanks.' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhyEverNot_8 he/him Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Yea, my friend is the same way, he doesn’t eat enough because he doesn't feel hungry and then he’s really hungry when it wears off because he didn’t eat enough.
