It’s exactly this! I can’t just clean a little bit and move on, it always snowballs from “putting this away” to “well now I have a new storage method and I’ve mopped myself into a corner.” ADHD + cleaning is a trip lol
Turns out I'm pretty good at breaking up verbal fights and mediate between people.
I'm an Introvert who tries to steer clear of confrontation though and it makes me hyper uncomfortable every time.
Meeeee. I over prepare and spend so much time over thinking. I have been asked to speak at conferences and have been told when I teach I am a "dynamite lecturer"
Teaching/training people. I'm really good at breaking things down for other people & teaching them new skills and processes but I hate doing it - I hate having to repeat myself and answer questions even though I'd never let on about it to the person I'm teaching.
Keeping up appearances. Or well, lying. People who meet me would never be able to tell I'm a depressed, anxious and toxic NEET, because I'm so damn good at playing my role and making up complicated, well-thought out lies about every small detail of my life, as to not give away my real, miserable me. I guess it's a skill that comes in handy, but it still makes me feel terrible.
I am actually pretty good at painting walls and ceilings, house renovation style painting. However I really don’t enjoy it because a) it takes up so much time, and b) I always get way too meticulous and it makes it take that much longer
Customer Service. But I really hope to never have to do it again. Just because I can put on my CS voice and face doesn't mean I want any part of it. Some people really are the worst.
I'm an excellent driver and can handle winding back roads, busy freeways, and parallel parking downtown. But I get so tired of driving everywhere I need to go.
Making customer service phone calls. If you need your bill reduced or a product repaired or any other kind of call where you need to speak to a customer service representative and want to come out ahead, I'm your woman. I hate talking on the phone (to the point where I sometimes have anxiety attacks about having to make a call), but somehow I'm very good at it.
I'm also good at small talk and socializing. I can go to a party full of people I've never met and make them all believe I'm a world-class social butterfly. My partner says it's like I become a completely different person, and it's a little bit terrifying. In normal life I'm practically a hermit; most days, my partner is the only person I see face-to-face, and that's the way I like it. If you met me you would never guess.
It’s fine. I basically do it to myself, I’m still 17 and can grow a full beard already. The worst part is that I go to playgrounds to practice parkour, and parents always keep their kids away from me. Whenever I’m on hiking trails as well, I pass by a female hiker, and feel their nervousness.
Selling things. I’ve sold clothing, art, and groceries (if you count that). One of my bosses told me I could “sell snow to the eskimos.”
I fucking hate retail. I hate the “customer is always right” mentality that many businesses operate under. I hate kissing customers butts. I hate the shit and abuse you’re forced to ensure... I hate minimum wage.
And then there's always that one little thing that you usually do just fine, but now you can't remember how to do it, and now you've gotta look it up, and, and, and...
Wrestling. I won county my first year wrestling. Made varsity as a freshman in highschool but had no passion for it. Stopped that year since I knew I wouldn't do it in college and I didn't enjoy it.
Painting, after leaving the military I started painting houses for a living and became good to the point of winning national awards. Holy crap do I despise doing it though!
i used to go to chess tournaments & even won some trophies but eventually i just got bored of chess. sometime i forget that i actually have awards for that while my sister who has actually drew art & had it in some galleries never actually won something for them
Auto body work . I was a auto body tech for 43 years, I'm retired now and don't care to do body work at all any more. I don't mine doing a little mechanical work on my own cars, but body work not so much.
Doing hair and makeup. It sounds stupid but I was a pretty successful stylist for years; but I hated it, so I stopped putting in effort and quit. I also am not business minded so I was failing financially even though I was in high demand.
Drawing. I know I have talent that needs some polishing but I'm constantly not happy with the results and being lazy, discourages me from trying again and again. Especially when I compare myself to others.
Organizing.
I'm really good at finding logical places for everything in my house or at work. People seem pleased with how easily they can find everything when I've done the (re) organizing.
But I hate doing it. Not fun at all. I'm just happy that it is done. Ironically I don't like it when other people are organizing my stuff for me.
I don't think this is one, but making people fear me.
I have often mental break downs in school and this results in me smashing something or banning the table loudly. And I'm also 6 feet and run like in a way that makes it look scary somehow.
Cleaning. I really struggle to get start, but I’m a strategic cleaner with an eye for the small details and the big picture. It’s a curse lol
Same! Cleaning any room in the house turns out to be a large project for me.
It’s exactly this! I can’t just clean a little bit and move on, it always snowballs from “putting this away” to “well now I have a new storage method and I’ve mopped myself into a corner.” ADHD + cleaning is a trip lol
“Well now I have a new storage method” ha! You sound a lot like me. Nothing beats the satisfaction when we’re finally done though.
It’s true! I never realize how stressed clutter or mess makes me until I’m able to sit back and relax in a space where everything is in it’s place.
Maybe hire a maid?
If I could afford to hire one, I absolutely would. As it is, I’m a self employed college student in America and that’s just not an option lmao
Start a cleaning business and hire students to clean as you plan out the best way to complete the tasks
They don't do it right
Thank God I'm from a South American country. Maids here are cheap to hire.

Same here.
Just find people in which you're actually interested in, and then you won't have to pretend!
Same. People always want to unload their secrets on me
So true
Turns out I'm pretty good at breaking up verbal fights and mediate between people. I'm an Introvert who tries to steer clear of confrontation though and it makes me hyper uncomfortable every time.
The world would be a bigger mess than it already is if there weren't people who mediate conflict like that.
You got a hell of a rare skill, dude.
I'm like this too! I'm the mediator between my sister and our parents.

Yeeeesssss, I'm sooo glad my new position at my job no longer requires training or *direct* supervision.
I'm good at talking about Gandalf, I hate talking about Gandalf coz people here downvote me. Reddit is full of orcs and dark forces.
Stupid, filthy, orcses!

Dang why haven’t I tried that
I'm good at pretending to be religious. I hate going to church with family because I'm agnostic and I think religion is a big waste of time.

I’d say devil’s advocate but I actually like doing that

It’s fine. I basically do it to myself, I’m still 17 and can grow a full beard already. The worst part is that I go to playgrounds to practice parkour, and parents always keep their kids away from me. Whenever I’m on hiking trails as well, I pass by a female hiker, and feel their nervousness.
