I thought I had to choose between art, sports, or academics as a child bc I was so busy. Turns out now I just have a lot of hobbies that make me interesting and keep me busy when other people watch a lot of TV or scroll for hours
Talking “too much”. I was definitely that chatty kid that drove my peers and grown ups crazy. It was hard to control myself at that point and I definitely struggled with self esteem because I knew I annoyed everyone. Now, I have more of a handle on my impulses but I still find it very easy to talk to all sorts of different people in lots of situations. I interview for jobs very well, network easily, have de-escalated a door ding or two, etc.
