I really need to get better about taking my adhd meds so I don't yap so much. I really wish it wasn't so hard to pay attention and see when I'm being annoying and unintentionally rude. It just sucks.

I find this with autism as well, like telling a similar story about yourself is our way of saying we understand your pain/joy, but to others it sounds like we're tryna be the centre of attention 🥲
I guess it's just the season maybe but I've noticed it's been happening a lot where I just don't catch the social cues and scuff it.
Really sorry everyone x
i've spent the last (jesus) 28 years of my life unmedicated but ritalin never really made me more cognizant of the social cues, it just made me withdrawn. it kinda sucked both ways for me, so my coping mechanism was to try to become a good storyteller. still catch myself feeling shame sometimes tho.
this is really to say that i've tried to give myself grace for having the admirably human desire to express myself even if it is at war with my deep-seated fears about alienating people by overwhelming them. i hope you can do the same.
This is so hard to get past! It's effect on our social lives can be devastating. What makes things harder is that we can't really call it out: "Oh sorry. I have ADHD.". Sounds like an excuse. And ADHD is invisible so we just have to live with whatever consequences. Forgive yourself my ADHD friend.
I'm sorry you're feeling that way😞 most of my coworkers are on the neurospicy side (including myself) so we all have our own quirks and ways of communicating. But the people who get you will get you tbh
I feel that, this exactly is the reason I went to long duration versions. Means I can get my 1 pill per day in the morning when the old one is still sorta active
You're not being rude! Sometimes, it's hard to focus on one thing, especially when someone brings something up that you have something to say about. It can be hard to regulate, but so long as people are aware you have adhd they should hopefully understand. It's hard to contain excitement sometimes.
