I have mid-high ADD and small talks just make my brain jump off all the time and get bored, and then if i continue talking i have no idea what to say, just change topic all the time.

I do like being in a community, but its hard to find people that wanna do the same as you. But is it easier to make friends with similar diagnose? I can join adhd groups, but no idea how much i will get out from it?

Any tips? Thank you!

Oh my. This sounds dreadful. More power to you, but I do nothing and it still feels like too much.

Sorry it’s not a useful suggestion. I don’t want it to sound like I do this at the same time or without absolute meltdowns and disappearing for months at a time either tho, lol.

The handy thing about group activity friends is you don’t have to put in consistent effort, you just see them when you see them! 👉👉
