It’s a passive part of my active thought process. Sometimes it results from something I’m doing in the moment while stoned (i.e. listening to a conversation), other times it is just me pondering something that happened to me previously. My brain identifies new potential reasons and motivations for what I’m witnessing or thinking about. Most of the time i can dismiss an observation because logically it doesn’t matter or make sense… Presumably that’s what my subconscious is doing behind the scenes when I’m sober, filtering out the illogical. But every once in a while i consider something my subconscious would have ignored that seems logical. It’s particularly helpful in understanding the motivations or assumptions of others. I think i am better at reading people and understanding their point of view because of it.
That funny how close and far our ADHD are, I often suggest that ADHD have some kind of frequency and sometime you are closer to the frequency of some adhders than others.
That fascinating to get a glimpse of other peoples inner working :D
Sûre, for me it is like a wild horse i can put on a track and it go faaaaast, some time I can’t speak with human even non ADHD because between’ two words my thinking went to far to be able to match my speech. In this state, I only speak by writing, I am not understandable.
I feel like I have two part of my brain one I control and one or more which I can influence but not control.
So I try to change parameters and see how it affect the uncontrollable part. I became really good at this.
I stopped trying to rationalize my thinking process, humans can be one thing and it’s contrary at the same time and that great.
I think I built a system to manage myself as if I am managing another person and it seem TP work for me.
Sorry I am used of people saying I speak to much I cut myself short when speaking to new people.
And I have multiple redondant system to force myself to do things.
One I hate specifically is one which harass myself to do things.
It work but it is a pain. I only put important things. And it escalate. Starring with email, telegram messages, and then calls from an automated system… And I made the reschedule and cancel a multistep process with HTML forms and confirmations emails.
