What have you realized is not normal?

[Anonymous]

I will give an example. I eat three meals a day. Breakfast, a decent sized lunch, smaller dinner. I traveled with a friend recently who only eats two meals a day. Dinner only sometimes. Does the average American not eat three meals a day anymore?

Our family has a dessert every night. I learned on this website that its not normal? We are fit and exercise FWIW.

I realize now that everyone doesn't sing to themselves when alone.

I grew up with dessert after dinner daily.
I instilled this with my kids.

Lunch dessert every day so not so close to bedtime. Regardless when eaten, there's always a dessert/day.

Maybe the kids do, but adults? Seems everyone is on a "diet" or has some type of food restriction nowadays.

Apparently not everyone has stories and/or music running non-stop in the background of their brain. Sometimes in the foreground.

Yes, I know I have ADHD. Still, I expected non-ADHD people to have something, some sort of inner adventure happening. But no?

I learned that a friend’s in-laws expect to keep/sleep with the bedroom doors wide open on visits to grandparents. Kids, adults-everyone. That’s not normal!

DP- Seems like many people do intermittent fasting where there's 16 straight hours where you don't eat. So you wont notice them eating at the "normal" 6am-12-6pm 3 meal times.

I’m not ADHD but often if someone asks what I’m thinking the surprising answer is a song!

Non ADHD folks have things such as music too. They just aren't admitting it. Who doesn't sing in the shower? Please.

I have to admit that I have no idea what you mean by background vs foreground of your brain.

That not everyone rehearses conversations/meeting in their head and/or replays them afterward.
