Just a thought that crossed my mind today.
If I was to ask everyone that you've ever interacted with (IRL) what their general opinion of you is, what do you hope the most common answer would be?
Would you hope they consider you a successful person, physically attractive, smart, the best in your field, etc?
Personally, my answer is "A good, kind person. Friendly and helpful."
Just wondering what the rest of feel.
EDIT: Based on the first few responses, I'm thinking I should have clarified better.
I'm not talking about your legacy after you're dead, I just mean right here, right now. You have left an impression on people. That is inevitable.
Surely there aren't that many people that don't give a fuck what anyone thinks, but I must admit, it is a valid answer. Maybe you are the person who doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks. 🤷🏻♂️
This sounds exactly like me. I'm about twice your age, and only realized I was ADHD inattentive a few years ago when I was trying to learn what to expect with my new ADHD diagnosed stepson.
Not letting down others is my biggest motivator. I'll let my life fall apart from neglect, but heaven forbid someone else become slightly inconvenienced! Sounds insane when you spell it out, but knowing is half the battle I guess.
