    If my thoughts consisted of things other than “Hey, are you aware of how much you hate yourself?”, I might start listening to them more.

      That’s not even the worst, try “where am i going to sleep if I don’t make enough for rent this month?” or “What am I going to eat if I manage to pay rent?”, and that’s if you don’t have kids.

    Is that why I do that? I constantly work with headphones on and try to read with talk in the background. So weird. Am i doing it to escape or is it because of rampant adhd or both?

    Break it with the most antithetical sledgehammer we have. Meditate. Abandon fear, hear yourself. It’s really not that difficult, there’s like a billion resources now. You do have to stop pretending things though, pretense interferes with the process severely.

    I usually just focus on one single thing to procrastinate. This way I can tell myself I’m doing something useful if I can absorb what I’m watching or reading while ignoring my responsibilities.
