It's interesting that you say that. I would definitely relate to needing stimulation, although it tends to be lowest common denominator stuff: scrolling, reading headlines, etc... even stuff like eating.

There is a certain type of software development that will really stimulate me, sometimes even overly so, but it's not clear if it slows me down. I think because I'm happier, I'm less prone to noticing.

I often feel paralyzed, and wouldn't say I hate boredom so much; mostly because you can't fail, and my mind wanders. I don't think it's good for me, and can probably lead to, and co-mingle with depression.
