Answer:
Unfortunately, many people in our society do this. It's stress related. Everything seems geared to "hurry up." Most people don't really want to look at the issues in their lives so they avoid, staying busy, rushing around doing nothing in particular but it does help you avoid looking at unpleasant issues. The biggest problem is that you get cut off from your emotional self; the things you're uncomfortable looking at are still there but they become more subconscious so your behavior acts on them and you don't even know why. Better to slow down and look at each thing that comes up in your mind - both positive and negative - then you can let them go.
yes, sometimes i get like this
nope
Yes, when I am out somewhere I usually feel like I need to hurry up and get home even when I have nothing to do. Also I feel anxious a lot like I should be doing something when I have nothing to do. I don't know if this is a compulsion or what.
yea like when i'm watching tv i feel like i shouldn't sit there for a long time, like i should be on the phone or computer or something like that
lol..no really!
yeh, tell me why? i have no idea but it is something i have been thinking about for several days from time to time. then i saw your question while i was searching for something else. it caught my eye and i thought, hey, that sounds just like me. doofus shrink claims i am bipolar. on the other hand the last one said i was clinically depressed. the one many years ago said i was a borderline personality disorder nutjob with narcissistic problems. the first one back in 1970 said i was obsessive-compulsive and my wife was a hysteric. etc. eetc. but i am now 64 and alone and really no goals but to work on health, take meds on time and do a little exercise and cut calories. still, it is like the old fire horse -- hurry up and wait. can you spell it out for me? or did you just wonder why you are that way? maybe you are bipolar and need some lamictal and clopamzedam or whatever?
I am never in a hurry it is a waste of energy to rush
Well,I live on an Island and here you just go round and round, and not in any big hurry.
