I’m sure lots of ADHDers know what I mean. Situations where you’re not meaning ill intent, but the way that a situation turns out makes it seem like you’re the bad guy/girl.

How do you handle the situation without seeming like a victim or that you’re making excuses for yourself? Do you explain the situation or just accept it and hope that enough time will reveal your true character?

I apologize and that wasn’t my intention to make it sound that way. It just work most of the time, when it doesn’t I try to check if the person is using it as an excuse if they do, probably is not a good idea to continue thta relationship. If no I apologize again, but is not too much you could do about.

Perhaps we are being mean tho, don’t underestimate how mean one could be by being ignorant and inpulsive at the same time. Hahaha 'nt
