Yes, I do, and I love it. I wasn’t like this as a child; I cracked a lot under pressure as a child, but I realized that intense pressure gives me intense focus in my adult years. Without the pressure I lack focus.

Hmm I didn’t really have to work on it but I do think something my friend said triggered it: she said she’s not worried about pressure and she’ll just work harder. I guess I just started applying myself more after she made that comment about herself

I've always been someone who thrives under pressure, it's just always been that way for me. I think that when my brain knows that I have no other option but to work through a problem or make a deadline it makes me feel a lot more motivated and focused.

I don’t want things to go “back to normal,” and lately I’ve been reading what feels like a lot of disingenuous arguments for reopening “for people’s mental health.” As someone who was suffering from the way things were before and is now thriving from the slowdown (both in work and personal life), I wish we could all stop pretending like we were living in some mental health utopia before the shut down.
