Hi besties! 

On the pod today:
Our Second Official ADHD Besties Symposium is here and this time we're looking at ADHD and Friendships. Why? Because when you have ADHD they can be hard bby.

We have curated THE BEST 🤌 dilemmas on friendships from our very handsome (flicks hair into quiff) back catalogue and put them together for you to share with the people around you so that they understand your Gorgeous Little Neurodivergent Brains (GLNB’s) a bit better OR to remind you to be kind to those GLNBs when it comes to managing friendships.

This week we answer a series of dilemmas specific to ADHD and friendships including;

 💌 "How can I manage relationships/friendships when my ADHD makes me “outta sight, outta mind”?!

💌 "I feel like my roommate is embarrassed by me because of my ADHD - how do I bring this up without creating a full blown drama?"

💌 "ADHD drains my social battery but my friends think I'm avoiding them" -with the gorgeous Olivia from @neurodiversing

💌 "AuDHD, debilitating RSD and being left out of friendship groups"

We discuss: 

• ADHD texting paralysis/communication overwhelm, why we can’t reply, and how to make it easier
• How hyperfocus makes time melt away (and why every message starts with ‘omg I’m so sorry’)
• Why being upfront about your ADHD can save friendships
• Why being pitied is so painful for ADHDers
• The double standard of being ‘child-like’ with ADHD (why does no one mention the positives?!)
• How RSD can sabotage friendships
• Why ADHDers and AuDHDers rest differently—and how to redefine fun for yourself
• The joy of missing out—why it’s sometimes not just okay but IMPORTANT
• How to fix relationships after an RSD spiral
• What to do if you’ve canceled too many times due to burnout
• How to stop self-sabotaging friendships & work relationships

We will be back in your GLND ears NEXT THURSDAY
And until then: *said in a melodic chorus* Don’t RSD baby girllll 💖
