    For what? It’s a neat picture, and it would be a cool place to be for like half an hour, but then I’d want to do something, and there doesn’t look like much to do there.

      That’s the point…

      Also, 30 minutes is hella ambitious!

      Edit: because of the other comment, I thought this was c/ADHD. So the text reads a bit weird. Sorry.

      Original: Firstly, sorry, I’m commenting as a person who doesn’t have ADHD (that I know of). But I always feel a certain way when people in general say, that there’s nothing to do. Now, I don’t know in which capacity ADHD affects you in creating or finding things to do. But I feel like, there could always be something to do.

      Here are a few examples:

      • make a wreath out of flowers
      • practice your handstand
      • guess cloud shapes
      • take a plunge in the lake
      • let flower petals float on the lake
      • built one of those stone towers that hikers always do

      Or honestly, hiking back sounds like a good idea. Half an hour is an acceptable amount of time to stay at the peak/ any resting spot.

        Those are all things that could be fun for a few minutes, but without something more stimulating/engaging, I would start to feel agitated in this environment after a little while. I’m sure I could make something to do, but that would be unpleasant for me.

        And yes, hiking would be fine, but the meme was about being in that location with untreated ADHD.

      That’s why I like skiing. There’s a view, and then something to do when you’re done taking it in.

        and why i love cycling, i have to focus on handling the bike and navigating, and things move fast enough that the environment changes and i stay stimulated.

        Once you get good at it you can enjoy both at the same time as well. Thats the only downside of snowboarding for me, admiring the view is hard when you’re balancing on one edge or getting a cold ass.
