    Such a dumb take. NDs can also do this, it just requires practice through meditation.

        Maybe not everyone, but as an ND (with ADHD) who can do this after meditation practice, it’s certainly possible for some.

        One way to describe it is I found a ‘muscle’ in the mind that I can flex to suppress intrusive thought. I also learned to wiggle my ears, by finding the right muscle to flex. It’s like that.

          I found the muscle too. Then I picked up chronic sinus pain on top of ADHD and the mental energy to get there is just gone. I’m sure that for many it doesn’t take a sinus headache.

          It’s a fine line to encourage people to do what they think they can’t without shaming those who really can’t get there.

        I specifically did not say all NDs can do this, simply that it is not unique to NTs
