” and wondering why everyone else can do things so quickly & easily, but you have to struggle for much longer to do them even half as well.”

I really don’t have that issue. With me, i take a job I instanlty succeed. for a time I am an overacheiver, then i get bored, lose interest and want out. Sometimes this take years to happen. In the meantime i get passed over for promotions, people think I am confrontational, not a people person, quick to anger. In one job, I was starting to be by-passed because everybody thought I wasn’t a team player. Finally I blew up and quit. Never saw a reaon to write a 100 word politically correct diatribe email when the word ‘no’ or ‘yes’ would suffice.

I’ve never understood why those I went to H.s with are enjoying much better lives than I even though they showed no intelligence in school. I always tested high on standardized test. took all the college prep classes but was never more than a b- student. sailed through junior college but dropped out twice once I moved on to a University. Never had to study until then but could never sit down and do it. I would go to the library to study and end up looking at all the others studying rather than on my work.

My bigger issue is why do those who are admittedly less talented move ahead while I am discarded.

Maybe I don’t have A.D.D.. maybe I’m just an ass.
