Does anyone else find waiting physically exhausting?
I find waiting for things physically exhausting. Waiting in lines, waiting sitting in a room, waiting on friends to decide what they want to eat, walking really slowly with an elderly relative: I find it all physically exhausting even though very little physical energy is required.
Oh yeah. I'm diagnosed with adhd and waiting is actually physically painful, which isn't something most people understand, I guess?
It's something I've been training myself on. Instead of going for my phone, just be bored. Sometimes a lack of dopamine makes the dopamine you do get that much better.
I find I can generally wait, but I experience pain when a group decision can't be made. Just pick one already. We're not disarming a bomb, we're trying to get some dinner.
Also diagnosed, also experiencing the same. Was always chronically late for everything growing up because my aversion for waiting made me want to leave as little margins as possible, but my poor grasp of time led to me always misjudging.
