Huh. It makes me wonder if I have ADD. I get hyper-focused to the point of tunnel vision. Now, when you major in Physics and pursue an engineering career this can be an enormous asset, but when it comes to your personal life it’s debilitating.
Adderall could possibly help with your social life while still being able to hyperfocused on your work. Need to find a psychiatrist who specializes in ADD to do a diagnosis. There are actual tests that can help determine if you have it. Don’t believe people who say it’s bogus.
Many years ago on FreeRepublic, there was a very long discussion/argument about the validity of ADD. Lots of very smart posters argued convincingly that it is real.
