Is that all

JastSiryin:
Well, for one, what are you doing now? Are you self-employed or otherwise? If so, does it affect your job?

Millennialaku:
please tell us more about how it affects your daily life

Well I’m in 300 level and with the way Nigerian universities are, I struggle with my school work. My jobs is kinda better cause I manage a website that deals with music, I love music.

I don’t read novels anymore because it take me ages to finish it, I could be read, hear the voice in my head, but then, all of a sudden I’m lost and I don’t know how I got to that page I’m currently on. I would have to go back five or four pages to see where I remember I stopped, this also happens with my school work. That’s how I struggle.

I play basketball and I’m very good, but sometimes I catch myself lost in the middle of the game, this happens if my team mates don’t pass to me or if my teammates aren’t playing with energy or zeal to win, I’ll just drift off in my own thoughts and be useless in that particular game.

I don’t notice little deals, like if my girlfriend changes her hair or her nails, she has to change something pronounced like her clothes or skin tone before I notice (not say she changed her skin tone)

Fidelismaria:

It becomes worst if you think too negative and drown yourself in anxiety, all you’re going to be thinking about is how life isn’t fair, just try to think happy thoughts, think of one or two funny moments, laugh to yourself. But don’t ever block out the ones you love.

I got try to catching myself and bringing myself back, but I still often miss out on discussions and lectures. Train yourself to catch yourself drifting away in thought, then come back and listen.

Kemblaze:


I think that`s going to be a problem cause i lost my parents 2007 and 2012 ever since 2007 i have gotten worst in school and by 2012 i just locked every one out i don`t socialize much i just try to have a laugh always i don`t feel a thing when i lost someone or hear someone died i just laugh and say its normal its gotten worst that i don`t feel love or know how to love anymore and i always get tired of something easily.

Do i still have hope.

I have a part time job, I manage a website for this small company coming up in plateau state. It affects my job somewhat, I have an idea to post something that seemed very good at first, then suddenly it becomes boring no matter how unique I make it, I always seem to think it will bore people. Haven’t posted in a while though.

JastSiryin:
That's cool. Honestly i can relate to always having second thoughts about things, most especially downplaying them beacuse I'm a pessimist, as much as I'd hate to admit that. It's funny you thought people would get bored with your post. It almost looked like you projected your own fear towards them, you did say you get bored easily didn't you?

I'd like to ask though, are you a procrastinator? If so, is it chronic?

I procrastinate a lot, I have a very good memory, when I’m lost in my thoughts I tend to forget what I planned to do, by the time the memory of my obligations come to mind, it’s too late or I’m not in that vicinity. And so I say I’ll do it the next day, but the circles continues for a while before I force remember it at the appropriate time. Even as I write this, there are things getting my attention away from my phone for some seconds, I’m a optimist by the way.

JastSiryin:
Man, i "zone out" like crazy. Maintaining absolute concentration isn't something i can do intentionally. Especially when the task is something that requires conscious attention, and aslo requires me to think continuously. It's almost like my mind needs to take a break from time to time, so i just zone out to some other interesting thought

Although if i may say, i tend to be able to concentrate fully at long stretches if it's a passive activity. Let's say something like, if i were reading a very interesting article online, or playing PES.

I can relate to the procrastination part too, that's usually how it is. Thought i was to only one who tended to forget things at the vital time. I often forget to properly articulate my views during an argument. Only to remember what i should've said when I'm not in that vicinity anymore. Honestly I've just had to accept that aspect of me

So, I'd like to ask. Learning a computer based skill such as yours is no easy feat, especially for one who struggles to concentrate. How did you do it man? Honestly I tried to dabble into programming, ended up quiting beacuse i just lost steam. Could hardly concentrate anymore

Randommikey:


I have love for programming that’s why, I learnt a little python and C++ and tried to make a bot called my friend, but then I got bored because I couldn’t think of much things for the bot to say, I would have learnt fully but time doesn’t permit me, I’m a biochemistry and we don’t really have anything to with code, I’ve stopped learning. I would love the opportunity though

JastSiryin:
Your first sentence was the perfect answer. It's a shame that boredom still crept in. For me it's almost inevitable at some point, i can feel it creeping in most times. And once it fully settles, there's really not much i could do than a "break". Well, i hope you can get back to what you love someday

Randommikey:


Thanks man, I feel better now, even though my family won’t understand, at least some people do.

My girlfriend is really trying, we’ve been dating for a year plus now and I think she’s used to it now.

JastSiryin:
No probs man. Just know you're not alone, alot of people are experiencing this too. It certainly helps to have a partner who understands you. I'm happy for you
