ADD Body language: Socially damaging? | ADHD Information

I haven't noticed any of this but that is probably because everyone is different.  What I have noticed in my self though is that if I forget to take my medicine for a while that I start saying stupid sh*t a lot of the time and fooling around when I shouldn't be.  I get kind of immature and I would think annoying hehe.  I don't really exibit any of this unless I'm in a comfortable situation though so you won't see me acting like this at work or in class or something.  I guess you just have to be mentally strong and realize when you are doing it and break out of it. 

boondog,

Once you become aware of it, it's easier to change it. Good for you to try to improve your social skills. Watching yourself on a video sounds like the kind of thing they might do in behavior therapy.

Keep in mind though that other people are proabably less aware of it than you are! And some of the behavior you can't help, like being distracted by jewelry. Don't put yourself down, it doesn't help you. Acknowledge it and try to change what you can, accept what you can't.

I watched myself (on video tape) interacting with a group.

I noticed my body language is really annoying! PLUS: I don't notice other people's body language

I don't make Eye contact I don't watch other people's body language I speak without making sure I have people's eye contact I have a wandering eye. Jewelry, clothing anything makes me hyperfocus on it and people get uncomfortable I don't sit still

I think my body language is hurting me socially and at work.

I wondered, is there any other ADD body language that turns people off?

Is there a resource for  ADHD body language dos and don'ts?

Anyone notice this?
