The only group that’s ever accepted me and has welcomed me without doing that so far has been my local drama group (and, of course, this place :) ). There, it seems my “Golden retriever” energy is always welcomed and in fact valued. What’s been your experience?

I think the RSD is a big driver for my introversion, funny how stuff affects us in different ways

I’m dealing with such a moment right now and reading random threads on this sub helps. Legit panicking inside and hate myself so much. The irony is that it was just a normal conversation with a few disagreements and rationally, I can see that that was all it was, but emotionally I’m like “this person will never talk to you again” and “you’re such a PoS. Why don’t you just stay quiet like we agreed, you moron? Everytime you open your mouth you insert your foot in there and you know it.”

Disclaimer: not diagnosed. Just have a lot of things in common with ADHDers and enjoy reading peoples thoughts and feelings and see where I can relate or where I can’t relate.
