Because of my extroverted ADHD behaviours I assume that every social group I join will eventually have "had enough of me". Anyone else experience this? (fedia.io)

The only group that's ever accepted me and has welcomed me without doing that so far has been my local drama group (and, of course, this place :) ). There, it seems my "Golden retriever" energy is always welcomed and in fact valued. What's been your experience?

Social groups, relationships, everything.

Of course. See also: friends, spouses, jobs, et cetera.

Hell, I've had enough of me

[-] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 8 points 17 hours ago

That tends to be my experience.

There's a reason a lot of us only hang out with other NDs

[-] picnicolas@slrpnk.net 3 points 11 hours ago

For me it was totally unintentional, it just happens to be who I enjoy being with.

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 hours ago

It's the same for all of us 😅

Is it more about the hyperactivity ?

On my end, I just assume that'll we'll probably never meet again cause I can't for the life of me ask them to hang out

Or remember their names anyway 😅

RSD?

Rejection sensitivity dysphoria?

[-] Novamdomum@fedia.io 11 points 20 hours ago

Oh I definitely have a whole bunch of that!

[-] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 7 points 18 hours ago

I think the RSD is a big driver for my introversion, funny how stuff affects us in different ways

I know your feelings, I had to learn to not overwhelm the people with my energy if I don't know them enough.
