Default energy level?

Post Reply New Topic

Just wondering what everyone's default energy level on here, is? Mine seems to be really low/ calm. I think when I was a child, I had very high energy levels and have been told that I bounced around a lot- which might be a 'normal' kid thing. However, as a young adult, I have very low energy levels and really get stressed out by people who are high energy/ never able to hold still for a long time. I seek calm and quiet.. And when I an around someone with a very high energy level, I can act like them but my energy/ 'gas' gets drained so quickly that I become irritable and need to be left alone. Anyone else similar?

Moderately high, I guess.
Not bouncing off walls, but high enough to want to do lots of things when I wake up and keep going for the day.
The people with the super high energy levels are medical doctors, I think.
The sustained energy required for medical interning and residency is scary to me.

I was going to say pretty variable, but it's usually very low. Like, don't get of bed unless I have to low. Other people's energy levels don't seem to influence mine much, not that I notice at least. However, if I get going on something where my attention is just constantly being called to that thing (eg: busy day at the store), I am far more regular in my energy, possibly even high. I cannot go as fast as I want to at those points in time, I am clumsy.

I too have pretty low energy level. It wasn't even high when I was a child, and I would have significantly lower stamina than my peers even then.
High leveled people are very draining for me, I get stressed by hyper people. I find people with never ending need for new input to be taxing. That might be aspie perseverance?

The only way I can act like someone with high energy at all is if I actually like them. That has only happened twice, and it drains me completely. I got annoyed and irritable when I couldn't retreat when I needed to. After dealing with them, I needed sleep. The toll isn't worth it.
I have learned to avoid such people. People with average level are more than enough for me.

Mine is low by default.

My default energy level is very high. (I have ADHD-C.)

When I'm in good health, my default energy level is moderate to high. I'm often quite hyper, both mentally and physically, but if given the option I prefer not to rush anything, so it's more of a slow release of that energy. A child I know has very high energy levels and I'm frazzled after a few hours in her company.

My physical energy level is sluggish. My mental energy tends to run at a higher level. The mismatch is what makes me feel burned out all the time.

Like Amity. When I feel good it is moderate/high. I was very energetic as a kid. Even a few years ago I had a good drive, but recently it has been knocked down. I hope to regain it.
I can be temperamental and talk hyper when nervous, but I feel stressed out by very hyper energetic people.
A bit of a contradiction.
