Is it an ADHD thing to need time alone more than neurotypical people do? And if so, how do make sure you get it?
I haven’t been diagnosed with ADHD but am starting to suspect that I have it.
One thing I know about myself is that I REALLY struggle if I can’t have time alone and it’s also the main thing that I know that the people in my life struggle to accept about me. It makes me feel really bad not getting enough time alone and not feeling like it’s OK with other people if I take it.
Not sure if this is something people with ADHD relate to. Maybe you guys can tell me?
I can relate. I’m definitely an introvert. Definitely ADHD, and possibly mildly autistic.
Do with that information what you will.
Although, when I’m together with people I’m comfortable with (old friends that I have no hesitations about really being myself) I don’t feel socially drained. I’m usually the one trying to get them to stay longer than we had planned.
