Is anyone as distracted as me while working?

i also can't think without doing two things at once. for example, to work, i have to have music on or tv on and think about both at the same time. i think best about things under pressure... for example riding my bike at 150mph on the freeway or something like that. its kind of weird. if i good to visit my grandparents out in the middle of nowhere where it is completely silent, i will fall asleep on the couch in about 15-20 mins everytime. my body just shuts down. happened everytime i have been there for the 15yrs they have lived where they do.

I went to 4 different grade schools and 7 different high schools before I finally dropped out. My lowest GPA was about a 0.2...so, I know where you are coming from, one school I was so great in math, straight a's across the board, the next school I failed out and was held back in the same subject

as for being a shit disturber, you are lucky you never ended up in jail, I have been about 7 times....LOL
