Something about ADHD...

Learning that hyperfixation is an ADHD thing was a trip, but I still often find myself wondering if my own obsessive behavior is actually related to my ADHD, or if it's just typical of anyone who finds something they fall in love with; and if so, am I misusing the terms "hyperfocus" and "special interest"?

Then I'll talk with someone else like, "Hey, what do you think of [special interest I got them into a while back]? Do you... not like it?"

Them: "Oh, no, I love it! It's really good!"

Me: "But... you never talk about it?"

Them: "Oh! Did you want to talk about it? I'd love to! What did you want to talk about?"

And I just... have no clue how to answer that question? Like, there are no specific topics just... it's constantly on my mind all the time, just waiting to pour out of my lips and I'm constantly holding it back. But then if I let it all go in an excited rant, and there's no reaction besides, "uh huh", I feel like they're disinterested? I just cannot understand enjoying something and then just... turning it off in your mind and moving on until you come back. I cannot mentally compartmentalize like that, and my interest is constantly on my mind ALL THE TIME and...

...I've realized it almost certainly must be an ADHD thing.

Social awkwardness and issues processing words doesn’t allow me to be as eloquent in person. So if it’s this but ten-fold, and I’ve probably been repeating it in my head, imagining myself saying it with at least 7 different inflections, and building up my courage for at least half the goddamn day.

And I STILL had to write it down in my notes beforehand.

sincerity is genuinely really hard like…….. if i have ever told you anything heartfelt out loud i have had to battle like 7 layers of embarrassment & repression to do that

Sensory overload is such a weird feeling to describe. In a nutshell, sound is attacking me.
