Hello, I am new here.

I am undiagnosed but have been essentially told by my therapist yeah you probably have ADHD, and suggested possibly being on the spectrum too. So I thought maybe this could be a good place to explore this issue I’ve noticed recently.

I mean stuff like personal appearance? It’s fine, nobody will say anything negative and I know that, but thinking about changing my beard style or removing it all together or I’m a little bored with some of my clothing. But thinking about doing something about it, I just know everyone will have to address it and ask the same questions or make the same comments about it and, I don’t know, like feel mentally exhausted just thinking about it.

Does anyone else experience this? It feels incredibly silly and annoying.

    I have some of that too. My job is less routine, which is nice sometimes, but definitely the last second changes are difficult.

    I guess maybe it’s more of a social anxiety thing. I do find it difficult and draining to interact with even people I work with sometimes, much less strangers.

      I have a hard time putting myself out there… I guess I’m afraid of being judged or having my ideas or thoughts disregarded or put down.

      Lemmy/Kbin have been helpful for me to converse with other people! Sometimes the risk is totally worth the reward! I’m pleased to meet you all!

        Same. Rejection sensitivity sucks. That may be part of my thing.

        I definitely love “anonymous” places online like this as opposed to regular social media.
