Unfiltered: The ADHD Scapegoat’s Battle for Truth & Trust


Listen Later

Are you an ADHDer known for being brutally honest? Do you often feel like your truth-telling gets misinterpreted or used against you, especially within your family?In this deep-dive discussion, we explore why honesty is such a defining trait for many with ADHD and how this intersects with the painful experience of being the family scapegoat. Discover how ADHD impulsivity, lack of filter, and justice sensitivity can lead to blunt communication that gets labeled as rude or inappropriate within toxic family systems.We unpack 5 key scenarios where honesty becomes complex for the ADHD scapegoat:1. Honesty vs. "Too Honest": Understanding ADHD impulsivity and why filtering thoughts is so difficult.2. Trust Issues: The struggle to trust after being scapegoated and gaslit, and how ADHDers often take people at face value.3. Manipulation Tactics: How narcissists and toxic families move goalposts and exploit your honesty.4. Believing IN vs. Believing Someone: The danger of blind trust vs. earned trust and recognizing patterns over words.5. Niceness vs. Kindness: Why societal pressure to be "nice" (compliant) clashes with the true kindness of honesty and accountability, especially for ADHDers starved for connection.
