Capitalist society certainly exaggerates our symptoms, but doesn't cause them. Telling us we're methheads because of capitalism is not a good look.

    I feel you. Reading something I'm invested in, and line by line there's a struggle where I'll find my mind elsewhere and staring out the window. Watching something I like, listening to a podcast, continuously rewinding because I missed it. I think my introverted-ness comes from both being constantly distracted and not wanting to make others feel like I'm not really there with them. The amount of partners asking "what are you thinking about?" and I snap back to them and am like... I don't even know, nothing? everything? is... a lot

      Me reading: "I'm bored. I should skip ahead."

      skips ahead

      Also me reading: "shit I'm missing important context."

      goes back to point where I skipped ahead

      I'm pretty sure the reason I "learn so quickly" is because I have to read things four times just to get to the end.
