And then I'm not thinking about what I'm doing when I'm doing it. Or I'm not listening to people who are talking to me. Even if it's something important! No wonder I sometimes doubt whether something that happened to me actually did. I have trouble remembering what happened or even if it happened. The reason is simple: I wasn't 'there' when in happened. I may have been there physically, but my attention was on something a thousand miles away.

Can you imagine the energy we must go through? A few weeks ago I read that our brains are something like 3% of our body weight but use 20% of our calories. No wonder I'm always craving carbs.

I don't know whether to be amused or worried that I said the SAME thing out loud. Like I hopped on the same mental highway for a second, lol. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I'll just tell my mom; she's a diehard, Trekkie, and will be proud. 🖖🏽

It's not Space, The Final Frontier. It's 'The Space Between My Ears' that is a galactic adventure.

Apparently next to nothing

Surely people can't be walking around not thinking stuff, I thought I was the zombie apocalypse but it's really everyone else ?!...🤣

As far as I know, I'm neurotypical but my brain still has a hard time meditating and staying focused. In a scenario like this, I would probably be inventing ridiculous stories in my head, thinking about procrastinated tasks, having hypothetical conversations with people I care or made me angry recently... I'm not expert, but perhaps the difference may be not the perpetual thinking, but the amount of topic changes and the capacity to maintain one line of thinking for a little longer.

@@BobOBob No, if that was the case meditating would be easy for most of the population and it is NOT. Even for us neurotypicals it's hard to get control of our own thoughts. It certainly and truly is harder for neurodivergent people, but that does not mean the rest of us live free of intrusive thoughts or have "next to nothing" speaking in our heads.

Yeah. I can't imagine what that's like, though my wife seems to have no problem and isn't bored by being able to focus on one activity or idea for a long period of time.

Funny, I was just thinking of how comfortably I follow tangents in convo, lol

@@alaysiakayebutler6299 you get 2 ADHD girls going we will be finishing each others sentences and following random stories lines that actually do end up relating to the beginning topic.( I promise) Lmao

Do you ever go on so many tangents that you have no idea what you were talking about or wanted to say, and when you ask, "What was I talking about?" the people listening have no idea other? They've forgotten because they were so busy trying to follow the zigzag of ideas and connections?

Love the speed suggestion. Wish we'd recorded it that way! Dang!

Thanks for the kind words! I'm so glad it made a difference for you.

Omg, lol, I find myself randomly singing part of the song aloud.. unexpectedly🤭

Ya know that feeling when you drive fast or you get really into a puzzle or you run 7 miles or you gamble with the last 3 dollars of your savings or you jump out of a plane or something equivalent (mine is when I sport fight) It's that feeling but all the time. That's how neurotypical people do.

yes! I tell people there's a little drunk squirrel who thinks he's a dj and when he elbows his way into the main area, you just never know what's going to happen. it's usually 2 or 3 songs, well parts of songs. unless he's gotten hold of one of the daycare songs, then ohmyword, it's so much worse 🤣😵🤨🙃. the mains are Johnny Johnny yes papa. baby shark, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 once I caught a fish alive 🤦‍♀️

Yes! I tell people it’s like having multiple radio stations (including one playing static) or multiple conversations going on in my brain at the same time!

I think my husband experience this too. Always at least one song in his head, sometimes aloud. He likes to play music really loud and I've come to believe that it helps him focus somehow. Also, for the question "I can't imagine what it's like for "normal" people - is it actually possible to seriously clear your mind and think of nothing???"... in my experience no, it is not 😅 I either lose my focus every three seconds or fall asleep. But I think we have some advantages, for example, if I decide to meditate I may focus enough to set my yoga mat, play soft music and start the exercise, while my husband would start to look for the mat and end up going to the store instead because he lost his focus entirely.

Same here! Lol!

Thanks for the offer! So far I haven't had time to get bored listening to me. I can't speak for my friends and family, though. 😳

Just turn off the sound, I guess 😅

Yes going, but perhaps more focused for longer periods of time, maybe even with sparse brief silences here and there... or talking with the hairdresser. It would be great to see a video of Ava in a similar situation and hear her mind like this, for a comparison.

Good news! Mine is model 2000. The darker color like yours seems to be model 2000A which is still available.

The problem is you have a fast mind in world run by slow minds.

My thoughts all the video

😅

Haircut? What haircut? Oh right! I'm having a haircut!

Dreams of teeth falling out and breaking are usually indications that the dreamer is undergoing a period of self-doubt, frustration, or fear. But it could be your own personal dream meaning.. What is it usually followed by?? My flooding dreams usually indicate financial hardship.

@@mkssounds it’s been a good while since the last one, but had them all the time at a time in my life. There was an incident that I had those dreams and one of my teeth DID break!!! Was just as horrible as the dreams 😵‍💫. That being said, it could explain a lot. I was married to a BPD for 22 years. I’ve been single 13 years and can’t recall when the last one was… Very interesting 🤔. Thanks for that input👍🏻

@@bludodge2008 no problem, your welcome 🙏
