tbh I think it’s probably more of an autism / social anxiety thing but many people with ADHD have more than one disorder, so i thought it was still relatable, at least for some people.

Introverts have absolutely no issues striking up a conversation.
Is it mentally exhausting? Sure. Would I rather be doing literally anything else? Yeah, probably. But introverts don’t automatically have social anxiety.

I think there’s more in the second panel for me. The conversation can continue and I’m still battling trying to retcon my introduction somehow because who tf says howdy. It derails my focus for the next minute of conversation. But I’m also paying attention so everything added to the conversation is piled on top of that and how I respond next needs to fit the flow of conversation and if I want to fix the weirdness of how I introduced myself…

I sometimes instantly vibe with other NDs like that.

With NTs, this seems far exaggerated compared to how I personally feel*, but like still not wrong.

*as far as I know

goodness, the few days after a psychadelic trip feel so refreshing. Temporarily free of executive dysfunction, temporarily free of anxiety, temporarily just purely happy with a positive outlook ahhh, wish it lasted longer :(

so far no psychiatrist prescribed drug even compared to that feeling for me, well mostly because all those anti-anxiety meds either didn’t work or turned my anxiety into panic attacks lol

put down the phone when you get the message and all that, but dang is it a good way to break out of the usual struggle once in a while

They’re just difficult to obtain, at least for me

Damn. I’ve literally been thinking of doing shrooms but a sibling had an episode (BPD). I don’t want anything like that to happen to me.
