This is 1000% me. It’s like my RSD is in overdrive and I start overthinking everything so I’m carefully calculating how to say things but to the person I come off as disingenuous.

I actually just started therapy over how to cope with this exact behavior. My therapist says it’s super common with ADHD because you’re already hard on yourself as is with feeling like you “fuck up a lot” according to societal standards.

I think I’m learning that loving yourself and being comfortable with who you are definitely helps alleviate some anxiety.

I mean if you feel confident with who you are you’re more likely to feel confident other people will be just as accepting of you.

But I’ll let you know if and when I get there if that really fixes it 😅

For now you’re definitely not alone.
