    “I just hyperfocused my way through another Star Wars EU novel over the weekend and I have a list of 37 reasons Like Skywalker is awesome I have to share with you guys!”

    “Why don’t you go share your tongue with the pencil sharpener, nerd!”

    [Whole class laughs at me].

    [Sensitivity to justice engages and I spend the rest of the day fantasizing about murdering the kid who said that and trying to not be seen crying]

    -basically how all of elementary school went for me

    Idk, the fact that I grew up in a rural area and vocally didn’t give a shit about hunting or football probably didn’t do me any favors.

      NO WAY, fantasizing about murdering the other kids is ADHD too?! A girl in 5th grade once shared a private conversation we had over skype to the whole class (wasn’t even anything wild, she asked me what I thought of a guy and I was like “he’s ok”, but it’s the principle of not sharing private stuff that got me) and I have wished for her death for at least a decade afterwards. Which, thinking back, was probably kind of an overreaction.
