Let’s Talk About It: ADHD Masking, Identity Crisis, Making Friends
In this episode of Be Well, host Alex Sublette dives into the reality of ADHD masking, how it shapes personal identity, and why making friends as an adult can feel harder than anyone prepares you for.
Through personal stories and honest reflection, Alex explores what it means to constantly “mask” in order to fit in, and how that coping strategy can slowly disconnect you from your true self. She opens up about navigating social dynamics, learning to be more vulnerable, and the intentional effort it takes to build meaningful friendships in adulthood.
This conversation is about self-discovery, neurodivergence, and the courage to show up as you really are. If you’ve ever felt like you’re performing instead of belonging, this episode is for you.
