we need better hobbies

  Jokes aside.

  It really is exhausting to always seek for knowledge.

  I think everybody needs a little bit of silence in his head once in a while.

    As a wise man once said, "Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits."

      Not so easy with an ADHD fizzy-brain.

    That’s what being bored is for! We need to be bored sometimes.

      You’re allowed to have fun sometimes, as a treat

    I honestly don’t know what that silence would be like. I’ve spent my programming career jumping between domains, becoming an expert then moving on to find a new challenge. Now I’m building AI stuff for medicine.

    In my down time I learn languages, watch videos about physics and math, and play puzzle games.

    My brain actually won’t let me stop. Boredom = pain.

      You sound like you’re way smarter than I am, but I can absolutely relate to bordom=pain.

      I’m constantly learning new things, or delving deeper into subjects I’m already familiar with. I can’t help it. My brain won’t have it any other way (otherwise I get destructive)

      The edge to overoptimize yourself is very close and thats even more a hassle when hobbies become hustles and the brain doesnt distinguish anymore between work and hobby and freetime and me time.

      Its a spiral which can lead fast to burnout or other related stuff.

      Kudos to you that you made it this far and successfull in a challenging field.

      This sound like me, but I’m not as smart as you.

      I learned to sketch, and paint miniatures. It gave me some kind of silence. I have to study painting techniques also. So, if I want to keep my mind occupied, but not too heavy, then I could watch some painting tutorials.

    As someone with ADHD with severe hyperfocus, I feel you. Just once I want to think about nothing. Even with meds, it only helps me defocus. Doesn’t stop the thinking.

    Yes, two in the same week iirc. “I’m not playing with a full deck of cards” and “I’ve lost my marbles.”
