hmpfI'd also be quite happy to just *know what this is that I have*. Because I'm sure that some psychologist or neurologist somewhere has defined this as a disorder of some sort.
It can't be depression, because I rarely - if ever - feel down (in a less than superficial way), and I also think that the intensity of my emotions in general is normal, more or less - perhaps even stronger than normal, but certainly not weaker. I'd say I experience normal amounts of contentment and joy in my daily life.
It can't be chronic fatigue, because there's no physical component. I get *mentally* exhausted, not physically.
So, what can this be? (ADHD? Don't think so.)
A case of super-hyper-extreme introversion, with even just the prospect of - even just virtual! - social interaction draining me completely?
And what's with the non-social procrastination issues? Because I have those, too. E.g. I routinely fail to open letters, even if they're from, say, my electricity provider, or my lawyer. And when I finally do open them, it often takes me weeks or months to reply to them, which is of course completely unacceptable.
And why am I so terrified of grading my first set of essays and term papers?
