    My goodness. It’s a real thing?

    I also have Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. Learning that AIWS was a real thing as an adult was shocking and then brought me a great deal of comfort, making me feel less insane.

    Now learning about tachysensia i am equally shocked and comforted. It was always very scary when I experienced it as a child and would often happen specifically with my father, who was a difficult and often mentally abusive person. He was scary to begin with but sometimes his movements would become faster than a human should be able to move and he would be so much louder than anything else which made me so much more afraid.

    I can’t believe this is a real thing. Absolutely amazing.

    The last paragraph is noteworthy. Particularly the “However” and the “Additionally” parts:

    The study makes an important contribution to the scientific understanding of psychological specificities of individuals with ADHD. However, it also has limitations that need to be considered. Notably, it was performed in one specific political situation and on members of a small homogenous national group. Additionally, all findings were based on self-reports. Studies on other cultures and using clinical diagnosis of ADHD might yield different results.

    Your response suggests that you consider yourself a role model, someone who has all the answers and an ideal life. It makes me wonder how things would be if everyone were like you.

    Throughout history, we’ve seen problems arise from people who believe they are always right and have everything figured out. It’s interesting to encounter someone in their late 30s or early 40s who holds such strong convictions.

    When I read your words and see the topics you respond to, it’s clear that there’s a contrast between your apparent lifestyle of travel and luxury and the underlying feelings of dissatisfaction, anger, and insecurity. It’s surprising that you don’t seem to realize how noticeable this contrast is to others.

    You have a mentality of “if I can do it, anyone can,” which can be seen as positive and uplifting. However, it can also be viewed as privileged, narrow-minded, and even arrogant.

    I do not normally act on the temptation to be critical in this way, but I have to say that I wouldn’t want to be one of the staff members you “manage.”

    At all costs present only your true little freaky weirdo self in all social situations, flaws and all. If you pretend to be something else to impress, hide what makes you uniquely you, you might meet someone who is okay but one day one of you will realize that your different enough that it won’t work. On your journey of being the real little freaky Kolanaki, plenty of people will pay you no mind and move right along but one day you’ll meet someone like you. Might not be your little freaky weirdo but will give you confidence to be even truer to your little freaky weirdo self. That cycle may keep going for sometime, which will almost certainly result in some new freaky weirdo friends. And then one day you’ll find your own little freaky weirdo and it is at that point, baby, you’ll be cooking with gas.
