I will add that I've never noticed anything I'd classify as "mean-spirited" coming from you, though--just an obsessive need for attention. That sounds like a co-morbidity of some sort to me, although I couldn't rightly speculate on what kind. Just a gut-level feeling there. It would NOT be Narcissism, because Narcissists are typically non-empathic, which doesn't seem to fit you at all. It's not that you don't seem to care about others--only that you seem driven on a quest for attention.
I really don't mean to hurt your feelings. It's just that I suspect many others feel similarly but in order to be supportive and sympathetic, no one has called you on it. Since you asked, I am--in the spirit of supporting your growth as a fellow human being and AD(H)Der. Avoiding honest feedback, ultimately, doesn't do a thing for either person. I hope you take this feedack in the positive spirit in which it is intended.
