Brainrot has finally gotten to me.
I was born with hyperlexia, and had only overcome ADHD during Covid no less, when I read 19 books plus. I used to have autistic-level focus, (only 1 in every 10 hyperlexics are not autistic, so the jury's out), and could go through a 500-page book in a week, with notes, follow-up research and everything. Now can't get any work done without having something playing in the background. If my phone's battery isn't charged and I have to charge it, it feels like my head is on fire. When the telecom company changes its pricing and plans, for the brief period I have to change my plan and pick a suitable one, I feel like I'm missing out on era-changing world events. They must've finally discovered a source of infinite energy! or created a new tropical country where it's illegal to not be happy!
And the robots! A new AI controlled an army of robots that grew the biggest farm in the world in China!
I've not been able to relax since February. How is this sustainable? I feel sick.
