First of all thank you for this community. Sometimes I feel like a walking contradiction and as I realize the ADHD side more and more, it is helpful in navigating that half of the conversation.

I am getting a bit older, but there have been a few times in my life that stick out like a sore thumb. When I was in my teens, a family member was dying of cancer and at this time my stock trading instincts were just being trained on CNBC. As I was watching this, I saw that the government put Fannie and Freddie into receivership. Despite being a teenager, something clicked in me at that moment things would never be the same. As time went on there was something in me as a teenage that told me that the US, my home country, would divert drastically from the US I grew up in. Yes I listened to stuff here and there, but as time went on and I experienced stuff, the gut feeling got louder and louder.

I have travelled a bit and while not every country is my cup of tea, there are a few that just seem to fit. Recently instead of sitting around and trying to stack cash, the urge has gotten stronger as I have tried to apply to new jobs and keep getting rejected. Also socially it is kinda the same and it makes me wonder if getting interviews but then getting rejected is in part due to Audhd. This made me wonder if my struggle in normal times is on part due to this or not. This also made me realize I am basically begging for a job at this point.

After thinking about all this, it made me feel like I am trying to chase after things that don't make me happy and I should work on a business idea instead of putting most my energy into finding a job and once that is off the ground relocate to an area that makes me more comfortable. I just feel culturally out of place and increasingly I feel economically out of place. We will see if this changes but if it does not I feel like I need to go with my gut and move. I also feel there are rough waters ahead and might be a good idea to hunker down. Overall I feel drawn to being abroad (including the business idea in question, which I can do remotely for the time being).

Anyone else feel like expatriating due to Neurodiversity related issues?
