How can this be? How can they accomplish anything without the constant analysis of every permutation and facet of whatever might be on your mind at the moment? I cannot imagine not having the constantly running thought processes…
I’m not sure about other’s amount of thought processes, but there are ways to lessen their impact. Mindfulness meditation helped me recognize and not engage with those thoughts, takes practice but it helps keep your mind on what you’re doing rather than other things. Admittedly I haven’t kept up with it but I did notice an improvement when was.
No way to actually stop the thoughts as far as I know and to be able to let the thought pass without spending time on it takes practice. Also you tend to fail at it a lot but even then you catch it more quickly to move on.
For me, personally - and I say that because everyone’s different - I don’t dislike that this happens unless it’s the usual “remembering that embarrassing thing you did when you were 10 years old” trope. It’s the incredulity that others don’t have to deal with this constantly running background track in their heads.
They have thinking layers, the conductor layer can tell everyone else to wait their turn when trying to coordinate a symphony. ADHD typically either has no conductor or the conductor has no arms. Or random sections have weapons grade sonar as instruments.
Edit: Neurotypicals have a conductor that still needs to be trained
Apoarently they can decide to, like, just not have it right now. Like some damn wizards.
