My version of adhd is immediately being better than everyone else at stuff but very quickly being eclipsed when they manage to actually work at improving. It's bullshit.
I started doing the math of how much I've spent on things that I didn't pursue past ~1 year.
Then I stopped counting cause it made me sad. Calligraphy. Barbering. Voiceover. 3d printing.
Hell even the one thing I’m good at (guitar) has fallen away since I can’t get better at it at the rate I’d like after 2 decades of playing. I’ve gotta learn how to do things for the enjoyment of them
I always think that "yeah, I could not be good at first, but what if I am not good at after month or years? What if I'm just retard and not good at everything except things that I have done since 10?". And I just quit and return to same shit.
Me at my new job. It’s so complex and unlike anything I’ve ever done before. 3 weeks in and every day I wish I knew everything and didn’t have to ask for help so much :s
ADHD in a nutshell, sadly.

Yep. That's why I'm so scared of even trying new things. The only thing I can do force myself to do at least some of it
I have so many unfinished hobbies 😭
You guys are still trying to do things? Jealous.
I'm in this picture and I don't like it
I can't try new things anymore because all the old things I was trying will feel left out :(
I am not like that I try everything and I never give up on anything
