unsocialable | ADHD Information

same for me...

good luck.  you're in the right forum.  lots of help here.

I had a psychiatrist tell me when I was a teenager that I would have been better born an only child (I'm #4 of 6).  I don't do well in big cities (moved from Chicago to Portland, OR) and oddly, I always thought I did better in smaller employee work environments but my current employer has over 200 employees.  I do better with a few close friends than a bunch of acquaintences.  That's not to say I don't have lots of acquaintences.  I do.  But I only share deep thoughts with one or two friends.  So, none of you are alone. :)  However, I think it's important that we stay connected and not isolate ourselves.   Im sat in my bedroom at the moment and my boyfriend has a lot of his friends sat next door in the living room. I dont know why but I really feel like being on my own but they see it as rude. I find it hard and get embarresed and I dont know why, does anyone else avoid large social occasions? I am also fine at work, and experience all of my ADD related issues elsewhere. Why is this?hi ya,

yeah im the same. i hate groups of more than 4 people generally... even if i know them.

its really weird cause im a school teacher and im fine at work but outside of that i strugle. i think its cause in work you know what to say. i am terrible with impulsivity and hyperness so i feel self conscious and embarrased.

any way...I have the same type of experience.  I prefer to be in small groups of about four.  I give presentations sometimes but once done I need to get away from the participants.  My impulsive and hyper behavior stresses other people out.  They can only handle me in small doses.  Then other people who like my behavior seem to treat me like I am on stage.  Either way it's all exhausting.

Well, at the moment, i dont have any friends. Im 18 and a half. I'm not sure that i have adhd (was diagnosed but forgot about it). Maybe it's something else, but around people i am quite introverted.

For me: I can sit with people and not pay attention to anyone. I wind-up thinking and spaceing out. If someone asks me a question i blert some crap out because i cant think of what to say fast enough. My ego(or personality) is absent when im around other people. But maybe it's just aspergers or something. i dont know.

I just hate waiting for people to talk and stuff. I think too much. I have bad empathy though. Isn't empathy a common trait for ADHD??

Simply said: Im a reject.

good luck to all of you.

I go sit in my room when my husband just has one friend over and he doesn't say anything
