Hey, /ratanon/, what do I do if I'm too high-IQ to tolerate working with normies but have too much executive dysfunction to graduate college?

and also too much executive dysfunction to acquire any skills?
i guess befriend other smart people until a successful one hires you for unskilled work so that they, too, can avoid having to tolerate normies

Just because you put it in pseudo-medical terms doesn't change anything.
Get off your lazy ass and get a job. Or go to class. Or both.

What the pseudo-medical term encapsulates is that getting off my lazy ass isn't as simple as it sounds. When I tell myself to get off my lazy ass and go study, usually what happens next is I continue playing vidya.

It's not like I haven't thought about it.

I mean, I'm enough of a fuckup to know I won't pass an exam if I don't study, catastrophise so I expect failing the exam to ruin my life, and then go into the exam having not studied at all and fail it. That probably generalises to fucking up at trying to learn employable skills. I mean, sure, maybe I can set up a better system for motivating myself and then get myself to learn to code or something, but at this point the thought "things are different now, I have a good system, this time I'll do well" feels played-out and hopeless.

Try complice.co, could be pretty good for helping with executive dysfunction.
Not affilitated, just been using it for a few days now.

Define "too much executive dysfunction to graduate college". Is it procrastination? Exercise, git gud, there's no magical solution. Are you bad at your subject? Then kill yourself.

Some things that have worked for me:
Replace distant theoretical rewards like "a degree" with immediate, concrete ones you can award yourself. Video games don't work for this because they're directly competing for your time. What i've taken to doing is to open a pack of Magic cards, and reveal one after every hour worked, find something similar which will work for you.
Speaking of which, cut videogames out of your daily life. Reading class materials wouldn't be unpleasant if it wasnt being directly contrasted with a superstimulus designed to create feelings of accomplishment. A hundred years ago, people like us would have killed to spend their whole day reading books.
Find goals which are personally motivating. Don't say "I ought to learn to code," create the computer program you're desperate to be able to run.

There is no one else but you. No mind / body dualism. No angel and devil on your shoulders. Presumably you have voluntary control over your limbs.
Shut off the computer and go to class.

Mind/body dualism not being real means my consciousness isn't a "soul" sitting in the pineal gland in full control of itself and the brain it's situated in.
Anyway, it

It's not exactly the same as classical mind / body dualism, but it's close.
