They made us stand for hours on end during national service. I consider it a form of adhd torture.

    oo I have an answer of sorts! Humans are endurance predators, not ambush ones. We’re meant to be moving often for hunts, standing still for long periods of time isn’t what our body’s good at.

    I feel like a lot of modern society does whatever it can to ignore the fact that we’re animals too

    Dear everyone,

    Fuck standing. Standing sucks, It’d rather walk or aimlessly pace around as well

    Kind regards,

    I tried to explain this to my wife. I can walk for long periods with no issue. But shopping? Amusement Parks? That shit is not walking, its trudging and it plays completely different with my energy levels.

      100% agree! Walking slow in a crowded place is the worst, the word trudging describes it so well.

    Not specifically ADHD things but very few people I encounter understand how hard it is to do things that require lifting your hands above your head. That’s literally how crucifixion kills. 😬

    I swear I wanna just have the next person telling me it would be easier to clean the ceiling tiles by just wiping them in place instead of taking them down and doing it in the sink to do it themselves and see how hard it actually is.
