I've tried to describe it to other people as being like those times when you're so hungry that the thought of any food makes you nauseated, or so tired that you can't fall asleep. This is how I learned that most normal people don't experience those states, either.
yall with adhd or autism or such ever just get…. bored. like so Painfully bored. like its not “oh hehe i was so bored and i made this” to flex or “oh im so bored bc i have nothing to do” but like a “i am physically incapable of ending this horrible understimulation with any activity i might attempt” and its genuinely fucking painful
#have also been too dehydrated to drink but i know already that not many people get there#have successfully figured out how to deal with the food/drink/sleep problem - with the first two steady microdosing for a long time#and the last just close eyes and do what rest/meditation i can until i either sleep or need to move#if i'm so bored i'm reduced to a depression-chunk of boredom#i'll either try to sleep or try to call in a buddy to help me do what i need to get done before sleep is allowed#and then the microdosing: low-stim intellectual puzzles and chilling with people close enough to treat me normally no matter how weird i am#high-energy boredom hasn't been a thing for me in years but i used to put high-energy music on shuffle and dance#but like with the hunger/thirst/sleep thing the best solution by far is prevention#and i learn what i need in a day
