This kid in my dorm is having a panic attack over not getting into med school and obviously I did my best to help him and eventually another med student whisked him away to help him but it just reminded me how deeply foreign the mindset of Worrying About It is to me

wait so you don’t worry about things??

#25346

or do you mean. you don’t worry about academic stuff because it’s easy

#25347

What am I gonna do at college? Dunno. I had zero plans for where to Go to college or what For until I hit accept on that letter. I have zero plans for what classes I’m gonna take next year. I have zero plans for what I’m going to do any day except tomorrow. And so I am literally incapable of worrying about failure, because there is no failure and there is no success, because there are no plans to judge against

what
how

also I thought you worried about losing as wolf?

#25350

I fuck up academic stuff all the time I just don’t care. If I retake the class I retake the class. If I fail out of college I fail out of college. All there is to do is plan from there. I know I am doing my best and that is all there is to do

Mafia is the one exception which is why it’s so addicting to me. It’s the one place where consequences register. Winning and losing are so immediate and discrete as outcomes that I can actually conceptualise them

I have severe ADHD it’s literally just that. I have a complete inability to conceptualise the future. Or the past. Time blindness

Sometimes I kind of manage to get into it when there’s a discrete yes/no immediate consequence thing: I occasionally felt some level of worry about college acceptance letters, for example.

But then I thought about it, and I realised there was nothing I could do to change things at that point, and I realised that there was no outcome which would literally kill me, so it all seemed manageable.

The idea of time blindness is forgiej to me

But I suppose being able to see with two eyes pointing at the same thing at the same time sI also forgiej to me

I remember my eye doctor going “hey we can fix that yoy just may have double vision for a while” and I was like “why should we fix it this has caused zero problems and it’s not like I feel like I’m missing out on anything”

I was told I should be having a hard time seeing in 3d but it’s fucking 3d it’s literally our world I don’t know what fourth dimension power you guys are seeing into with proper eyes but I doubt anything changes

obviously idk what things look like to you but
as someone with normal eyes, closing 1 eye and looking out the other significantly breaks depth perception
