I was asked in high school if I do drugs if that counts. I think they were just curious than thinking I must be doing them.

Yes, happens whether I'm sober or drugged up on something or other.

yes. oh boy. so many times i've had people suggest that i am "on something". i'm not. i don't need drugs! i mean, which drug could:

....put random strange ideas in my head (i.e. "can time be turned inside out? how about space?")
....make me fixate on inconsequential stuff, especially if it is sparkly or glittery?
....cause impulsive behaviour?
....convince me that stuffed animals are real when a friend makes them talk? :oops:
....make me forgetful about the stuff i have seen before so it all looks new and exciting again?
....allow me to be entertained for minutes or hours by the floaters behind my eyes or the afterimages on my retinas?
....get me excited that someone's phone number is a palindrome?


... i could go on and on...


I actually can think of a few that can do things like that........lol

I had a job superintendent say things to me in a round about way, as if I were high. This was over 27- 28 years ago and it's a manifestation SCT ( ADHD) that I know of now.

It's a cognitive struggle and your eyes get bloodshot.

Btw, he was real nice to me, as he liked my hustle work ethic. He found odd to jobs for me to do, rather than lay me off, as work was slowing down.
