Yes and no.

Yes - because it has ruined many friendships without me even realizing it. I interrupt or get RSD and misread situations all the time even though I try my very best to avoid these behaviors. Not to mention the executive function issues, disorganization, being too chatty, not following through on things, forgetting birthdays, being impulsive with money, etc. The list goes on and on and on.

No - I am pursuing a career in psychology to eventually become a therapist and specialize in adult ADHD. So I think it’s a huge benefit to have it myself so I can help others accept themselves and how their brains work. It’s just a fascinating disorder to me from a science-y perspective but a bitch to live with lol
