Hmmm. Interesting thought. I think the ADHD (attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder) causes me to hyperfocus at certain times. Of
course It does not always occur when I would like it to and it occurs
when I wish it would not.

But i do know when I get overwhelmed I lose any hope of listening and
thinking and then the anxiety kicks in because I know I am
intelligent, but I can't think or process the information.

In any case,I am very self conscious and always am looking 'behind'
me to see who is looking over my shoulder. I think typically it is
me which makes it all the more worse.

However, tonite I completed the 11th of 12 Dale Carnegie seesions and
went out afterwards with a group from the class. It was great. I
don't like going out because I feel so out of place; even with people
we know. I get overwhelmed at parties and such. But, with this
group, I know we all pretty much share the same fears and feelings.
So, there was quite a bit of comfort there. Best time I have had in
a long time.


Have a great day to all.
