ive never understood when my friends decline something because it “sounds boring” i just cant think that way at all
I prefer the term “renaissance man”.
I find the world to be crawling with interesting things to learn about. From electric plugs, to coffee, to how computers work, etc. It always drives me insane that the average person doesn’t seem to be remotely interested in learning much about how and why the world works…
Didn’t know it could be an ADHD thing though.
Yeah, this sounds about right. I think this is why other people (without ADHD) often identify me with only one or two of my special interests instead of the full variety of all those interests. The other day I had to introduce me in a certain setting to someone where everyone had to mention their hobbies as well. I was struggling at first how to cram so many hobbies in a short time or how to prioritize them. Then a friend, who was also there, said to me “Oh, you like to upload pictures on iNaturalist!” This is true, but I did not really feel seen because of all the other hobbies that seem similarly important!
