Despite Being Diagnosed with ADHD as an Adult, I Still Struggle to Fit in

Note: This article contains an affiliate link to Amazon.com. If you click on this, I get a commission at no additional cost to you.

It’s funny, but I have heard stories about people finding out they have ADHD, their whole worldview changed and they now have friends.

I have even read stories about an adult with ADHD giving up on friendship. All because of what they have experienced in the past. That’s awful, isn’t it?

It has been almost 10 years since I was diagnosed with ADHD for the second time, and I still haven’t found my tribe. What is going on here?

Each person’s experience after finding out their diagnosis differs.

Then again, some ADHDers even in their 60s experience this. In a way, I am not alone. But where are all the lonely people with ADHD?

The Reason Why It’s Hard for an Adult With ADHD to Make Friends.

The obvious reasons are forgetfulness, impulsivity, distractions, inability to read body language, miscommunication, and disorganization. Furthermore, we are too loud, interrupt, and suddenly change the topic of the conversation.

Because of all this, modern society views us as being selfish, stubborn, and lazy. And we are none of those.

As we were growing up, we missed all those cues that we needed to learn to make us productive members of society because we were hyperactive and/or daydreamers. Those who learned these social etiquettes expect everyone to know them. However, they don’t know that not everyone does.

What Can We Do About It?

The Internet provides many resources for communicating with others. Or you can purchase the only book that I know of on ADHD and Communication: What does everyone else know that I don’t? By Michele Novotini, Ph.D. I am sure that there are others. But this book will also encourage you to practice all these communication skills so that others will not see you in a negative light.

However, the main point is to practice whatever communication issues you are experiencing right now.

As for myself, I am still trying to find my tribe.
