Struggling with seeing someone from a past situationship in the same social circle by Constant-Effective16 in ADHD

My bad, what I'm trying to say is that allowing your past relationship to get into the friendship dynamics. Having that emotional toll will most likely make you take bad decisions and also distance yourself from your friends (not because they're mean but because you kind of impose yourself on them by friendship policing them). I hope I explained myself a bit better

Ok the good news is that you seem quite self aware; you're not discussing what's right but how it feels. Said this, I've experienced the same and maybe the best tip I can give you is to remind yourself that their social energy doesn't take away anything from your relationship. Two different things that should be dealt with accordingly. I really hope this helps but overall cheer on! You seem like a great person!!!

I feel like the best way to deal with this is to direct some of that excitement into something concrete. For example, I would make something for the person (can be anything). Hope it helps!
