Hi! I have long been interested in the topic of the influence of neurological features on interpersonal relationships, especially in the context of ADHD/ADD. I have a question for you, perhaps a little personal, but very important to me. How do you think ADHD or ADD affects relationships between people – be it friendship, romantic relationships, or even work interactions?
I have long been interested in the impact of ADHD on relationships, and to be honest, a lot became clear to me after reading this article about adhd in relationships. Personally, I have ADHD, and I can say that it certainly brings its own nuances to communication with people. In friendship, I am often very passionate, emotional, but sometimes I can forget about agreements or abruptly change topics – and not everyone understands this right away. In romantic relationships, everything is even more interesting: on the one hand, I am sincerely involved, I know how to surprise, be attentive, but on the other hand, difficulties with focus or impulsiveness can cause misunderstandings. This article helped me look at myself from the outside and gave specific advice on how to build more harmonious relationships.
I have ADHD, and I have long been learning to understand how this feature affects my relationships. On the one hand, impulsivity and difficulty concentrating can create misunderstandings: I can forget about an appointment, interrupt in a conversation, or switch from topic to topic. But on the other hand, ADHD gives me liveliness, a genuine interest in people, and the ability to genuinely engage in dialogue. In friendship, I have found those who understand my “attention spans” and even laugh with me at funny things. In romantic relationships, it is important to discuss the features in advance: for example, my partner’s structure helps me, and my spontaneity helps him. At work, I have begun to delegate more and use reminders so as not to let colleagues down.
