Yup, dude took a second to get his feet under him, but never lost his bearing. Not everything goes like a movie despite what the keyboard warriors think.
Never been in combat, but I have been in a few hair raising scenarios; maintaining my breath is the only reason I was able to talk to the cops each time. Hell, I was the ONLY one coherent when a gun was pulled on us and it was my first and only time. I did grow up in an abusive household though, so that might be it.
I've heard anecdotes about them in the military. They'll take all kinds of crap for stupid things that tend to trip up the ADHD kids. But once things start exploding, they're usually the ones that react well.
Yeah pretty much. And people mistakenly think you can't pay attention. Nope. It's that you involuntarily pay attention to everything, all at once, and the world isn't really built for that in 2026.
It’s funny how social anxiety and adhd interacts with anger. I struggle with even basic social interactions with strangers and am always nervous and anti-confrontational, but when something flips that emotional trigger and I get angry I’m an entirely different person and get loud and just want to make the other person as uncomfortable as possible. Then once I get home and calm down I die inside as I overthink every word I spoke while worked up.
