You don't have to be good at something for it to be your thing at the beginning. It's only that it has to interest you in some way. Like, I've had the exact same nightmare in school, really couldn't engage with any of it until I found this psychology world and neuroscience. And I thought, wow, that actually for some reason sparks my mind. But even when I started doing it like 15, 16, I still wasn't very good at it. I just thought, well, this is at least something that's interesting to me. And finding the niche things as someone that has an ADHD brain, you think, I like it. that's where you can thrive. And then you eventually, because if you have a brain that gets a big dopaminergic stimulation of that activity, you will eventually be extremely good at it. But you just have to realize that you don't have to be good at something straight away.
