What is dating like, for a ADHDier
With my experience, is that it's difficult because I have to mask so many things so i won't be misunderstood, I just end up getting mentally tired. - I have to pick out of my 8 hobbies at least 2 to talk about,so I won't seem like I am egoistic(cause apparently some times it comes across like that), - I have to maintain my excitement when learning about the other person( because it can come off as needy), -I can't make too many jokes because I won't be seen seriously. - I like to set up boundaries and reinforce them for me and the other person so there won't be miscommunication...but this comes off as not spontaneous( which I am l, just when I learn about boundaries because it's a serious thing for me) -Due to my hyperactivity, I have to suppress it so I won't be seen a looney or on cocaine ๐ Etc....... I don't mind being me and I made peace with who I am and the good and bad things but just for anyone out there that might be feeling the same.... I feel ya ๐คฃ

Everytime I hear about someone using these kinds of psych terms and explaining what makes it distinct, the examples used can be applicable to almost anyone. In this case, about everything except the excuse of 'hyperactivity' (I've heard of people boasting it, but I've never witness any produce it.) We're all wearing masks at different times. We're all unique in our own ways; blah blah blah. Sure there mental disabilities/ deficiencies; and we're all free to express ourselves (even to our own detriment) but it's not as cool as some people think it.

As a fellow attention defficite hyperactive. Just be who you are mate. I mean truesome of these things are important and our "disabilities" don't define us. But on the other hand to a person who has stability issues you don't take away their support. For folks like us propper boundaries are those crutches or walking sticks. And are you just as focused on all those 8 hobbies? Cause thats impressive i ussualy have 2 main focuses and a ton of side intrests when it comes to hobbies. And i never knew my excitement to learn more about a person wasn't me being needy but you putting it that way i'm like oooooh that makes so much sense. Like getting to know someone i'm intrested in perdonality wise are like a good book to me i just want to learn more about them :o Also nothing wrong with being a bit looney and cartoony XD i mean its way more fun. Then again the animaniacs were my role models as a kid so i reckon that says enough XD

Me, deep in hyperfocus, sharing a 40-min video breaking down centuries of capitalism, while he just wants a Tl;dr ๐ I honestly didn't even think to check the video length before I shared it ๐
I find it far easier to go about my day while keeping my brain entertained. Music can get old, sometimes I just want to listen to something mentally engaging. I know I'm not the only one! (edited)

Is "Hypersexuality" a thing for you?
I recently had a conversation with another AuDHD person about hypersexuality, even to the point of being medicated for it. For the longest time I wasn't even sure this was a real thing, but the symptoms she described were almost identical to what I've had to cope with throughout my life. I had... (edited) read more

Dating with ADHD
Question: What's the most difficult part of dating when you have ADHD? For me I've often been caught up in taking things too fast and overthinking when people don't respond quickly. What have you faced and do you have any tips? (edited)

Comfort Shows vs Background Noise
As I "watch" an episode of Criminal Minds for the umpteenth time, I realize it's not actually helping me focus on my #wfh job today. Music wasn't working either. How do you switch things up when focus isn't happening? โor failing that, hit me with your go-to comfort shows or work... read more

I had a thought today
So i was thinking about adhd and impulsivity, right. And i was wondering, does buying a concert ticket for a show 6+ months in the future count as delayed gratification or something more like a double gratification? Like you feel good when you spend the money but you also have to be patient and... read more
