Because it takes slightly less mental energy to sit and stress than to do the thing. (lemmy.world)

I'm beginning to suspect "superfocus" is just what normal people do when they focus.

Nah, super focus is totally a thing, just not everyone does it.

My wife can't sit in a computer chair for 8 hours straight playing a game/editing a video/writing something/reading Wikipedia really hard, but I can.

And no, I can't control it so it's not a superpower, it's random enforced focus and it's only sometimes a helpful thing. Usually the work I do when doing it gets worse much faster and it does major damage to your body to sit in 1 position for that long not peeing.
