  • This is it. It’s your free time, OP. Don’t push yourself so hard and put these expectations on yourself to conform to how you’re “supposed” to enjoy things. In your daily life, you probably already have enough pressure to conform and have to put energy into working around your ADHD.
    Just play a game for as long as you’re having fun. If it’s not fun anymore, whatever. It’s okay to move on to something else if you enjoy that more. If you really want to know how the story ends, you can always look it up or watch some clips.












  • I probably would have gone into tech earlier if I’d had a female role model in tech. When my (male) friends started programming in high school, I was very interested and wanted to learn it too. But it literally didn’t occur to me that I could, until ten years later, when I was already far along in a study in the humanities. I ended up in data/ software development in the end, but it took me ten years longer because I didn’t realise earlier that it was a field I could get into if I wanted.
    So long story short, it’s not just a matter of interest, there are societal factors that play a role too.
