![]() ![]() My closest friends and I have this mutual understanding that we aren’t going to care about everything. That made me think about the contrast in my enthusiasm between a conversation where someone's sharing their interests with me, vs. So I told a couple of friends about this, and they said they notice this with me ALL the time. I thought about it because I'm now in the middle of getting diagnosed, and the psych made me very aware about how absent I often am in conversations. I do care, but I don't experience it properly until Something in my head decides that I'm interested, and it's almost never in the actual moment. The conversation ends up feeling one-sided, I end up feeling like I'm sucking the life out this thing they're hyped about, and they end up feeling like I don't care about anything they tell me. A friend talks to me about something they're super hyped about, and my brain files it as "boring", so I struggle to be genuinely enthusiastic and happy for them in the moment. I don't know if this is an ADHD thing, but I have always had this problem. ![]()
