Maybe that's my ADHD power; even just standing here, not doing anything, feeling the symptoms of boredom, I can still play games and tell stories in my head. Like, fantasizing is part of my list of "shit to do". I always have an internal list of "potential activities" that is already compiled and ready to go. I barely have to think "What do I want to do at this moment?" because I just know the answer and do it. I guess "I'm bored" people don't have that.
I have always been able to entertain myself. Crafts, sewing, reading, some computer games, etc. As a kid, I was grounded a lot so I learned how to occupy myself. Lately I find there are some days when I am fidgety but I think it may be being essentially trapped at home for the better part of two years.
My girls both have to have something to do and preferably people to be doing it with. They can't seem to come up with ways to spend time alone. My son is more like me and is quite content finding different things to keep himself busy.
I'm your huckleberry.
