As a kid, they called you “hyper” or “rowdy”. Or maybe they said you were a great student, but had a tendency to get lost in your own head. “Daydreamer” or “shy” became the labels that followed you around for years.
As an adult, you’re starting to think your tendencies to drift off in unrelated thoughts or inability to sit through an hour-long meeting might be more than just being a daydreamer.
