i always had a hard time making friends and finally got diagnosed with ADHD at 18, so i thought my problem was i kept trying to befriend neurotypicals, but i don’t even fit in with other people who are neurodivergent/have ADHD, so wtf is wrong w me??

You have to push through the phase of your brain saying you don’t fit in because most of the time you fit in fine your brain is just paranoid now because of past experiences

Hey, same here I don't get along with either groups even tho Im neuridodverget with ADHD myself, I feel like I'm easy to get along if u get past the initial phase where I think you hate me. But from there it's smooth sailing 😂

Are you joining with anyone over a common interest? Do you bring a curiosity to new friendships to get to know them better and find the ways you’re more the same or (just hoping those things naturally emerge)? If you’re waiting for natural emergence, it can be a pretty awkward wait

make peace with being yourself and just put yourself out there, even if it’s scary, but it’s scarier to be lonely (not alone) than to be perceived as weird
