Eye Contact Is..

Eye Contact Is..

It’s really hard. And stupid. And my brain likes to choose “oh hey you can look this person in the eye for 3 minutes straight!” for complete strangers coming through the drive thru; but when I turn to my coworker whom I’ve known for nearly a year, it’s like “ABORT MISSION! EYE CONTACT BAD!!!”

Like I look at a friend or coworker and maybe make eye contact for .01 seconds before my gaze skitters away. Resting on like... Their chest or the floor. 

anD THEN NOT 20 MINUTES LATER WE HAVE A STARING CONTEST AND I WIN. 

Also people with blue eyes are the hardest to hold contact with??? I don’t-

Point being, eye contact is hard, and my brain hates consistency. 

me getting sucked into a show knowing damn well i’ll get unreasonably obsessed with it for the next three weeks

I have no excuse.

I gotta find me a therapist like that, my dude. Holy spa-heckie it’d be nice to have someone who REALLY understands...

Words cannot express how deeply I appreciate having an ADHD specialist for a therapist, who also has the same type of ADHD as me because it means they also know that time is a meaningless construct, and the odds of both of us showing up late with extra starbucks are inevitably in our favor.
