Hyper, talkative, scatter brained, short attention span, but incredibly fast and intelligent. Connection?
Nah, Gemini has no problem easily handling all that and more! ADHD implies problems not only with focus and lack of control; but True ADHD needs meds. I happen to think children, and self-absorbed adults are way too often diagnosed w/ ADHD - makes it easier on the school, society, etc. Any kid (especially) that is not doing Just What adults want - this day and age the doctors and educators want to label them and dope them up.
I bring this up after a conversation I had with my bf. See, he's a total skeptic to astrology, so I showed him a video on YouTube that describes Geminis like me, to show him how accurate it is. As he watched it and listened to the description, he said, "That's not astrology... that's ADHD." lol And they do have a lot in common. However, I think for the most part, if not completely, "ADHD" is a bs diagnosis to make money off people with short attention spans and lots of energy who just don't want to pay attention. I was diagnosed with ADHD (never put on meds for it, thank gawd) but the thing is I just didn't pay attention because the things I was told to pay attention to were boring... if I'm interested, I'll pay attention, but if not.... ooh look a cookie!
I'm sure there are plenty of Gemini's labeled with ADHD and prolly many Pisces too! Anyway, I've just seen so many kids "diagnosed" with it that I Knew were not ADHD; but rather bored - as you described yourself; or their parents had Never at any point disciplined the kid and made him/her Have to do Anything - such as sit, listen, shut up, pay attention to something Other than a TV, etc. And when confronted w/ school - well, hell, of course the kid is going to have problems. Much easier (for the past 5 years at least) to label and medicate rather than address the problem with both kid and parent.
I'm a pisces and was diagnosed ADHD in like. 5th grade or something. I no longer take the medication, but I've just always kinda been like that. I get lost in my head sometimes, and I get really restless if I'm in one place looking at the same things for too long.
there's nothing wrong with getting lost in your own mind. Many people who do that and have other "symptoms" of "ADHD" tend to be the most intelligent, its just that they're bored with the world around them.
hahaha I don't know what you're talking about.... oooh look shiny! :leaving: and thanks stalk. I was diagnosed with add inatentive type because I would zone out. I've been on so many fucking different drugs for so many conditions... it's all about keeping you under control. just say no to drugs! at least ones given to you by your dr.
my older brother is a gemini. he's the mellowest human being on the planet. but when he gets mad, he get's MAD. super quiet, still waters and all that. sneaky smart.
i second that most geminis don't seem very intelligent. at least from my experience. that and they always seem to act completely irrational. i never understand there reasoning. nice people just....duhhhhhh
Well, hate to disagree, but... If you are looking at Sun sign alone, one of the 2 smartest people I know is Gemini - my cousin. Has 3 masters degrees, And is a hypnotist, plus has a paralegal degree. I'm not saying he doesn't have his (inner) problems; however, not being intelligent/"not being smart" isn't one of them.:hat: I'll agree with the irrational part, tho' - or, it's that they are Very likely to have overactive imaginations that sometimes get the best of them.
I have an extrememly holographic thought pattern. It messes with people's heads sometimes because I can carry on several different patterns of thought at the same time and put connections where they don't normally seem like they might go. I also have a difficult time with linear thinking. for example I suck at algebra because it has too many sequential steps and forget where I am in the sequence. conversely I'm very good at abstract thought and intuitive reasoning. just how my mind works.
I am a Pisces Sun. My ascendant is Gemini making my ruling planet Mercury which is in Pisces conjunct my sun. Pisces and Gemini are dual signs. Both signs can scatter ones attention if afflicted planets coincide. I had, and may still have ADHD. Wellbutrin helps me greatly.
it's also the main ingredient in some of the meds they give you to quit smoking... feel like breaking the habit? nows a good time.
