I get that community engagement is good and all, but some of these posts and comments seem of questionable quality. Is this person a bot?

    Yeah, I got the ADHD kinda impression too, and that’s something I live with too, not always knowing how to express myself and say the right things.

    It feels like everyone else in the world are a different species, and I’m just trying to figure out how to best communicate with them in their language, you know?

    I’m certain I come across as odd or weird, often, haha. But I’m trying not to be an ADHD recluse that hides from society instead of trying to embrace it, you know?

      You got this! But I totally know how you feel.

      Every interaction that is neutral is taken as me not being interested enough. Every interaction that is met with excitement is taken as me being way too over the top interested.

      ADHD is about finding that sweet balance and applying it to life. It just sucks that it’s always a constant chore rather than something we just get used to.

      I like to post here way too much because I found out people in my field don’t really like to talk about the science lmfao, more of a “you just have to know it” type of vibe and I love getting deep into the “why”

      Is it bad for me to do this? Maybe. It’s not really experience gained for later on since it’s not directly gained from someone in my field. But it sure helps me understand how I can communicate ideas in a meaningful way rather than just blurt out the word cloud in my head.

      Social media… ah
