ADHD Friend Searching
I want to find some friends like me with ADHD. I was diagnosed maybe 2ish years ago, and haven’t struggled greatly, but I still have a hard time sometimes. Anyhow anyone want to be friends?

Hey I’m undiagnosed, but experience a lot of ADHD traits. always here to meet like minds :)
I find that being authentic when I’m out and thinking or focusing on something that makes me smile will attract like minded (literally) people, and that’s beautiful. Even as a person who’s struggled with anxiety, identity, and social interaction, I’ve never had to force or feel like I was working towards making a friend. I’m kind of just tolerable of a lot of different types of people and I give others the time of day. Of course, don’t be naive about it- everyone’s interests aren’t great but- I give the benefit of the doubt always because you never know. People with ADHD tend to have a solid radar 🤣
I’m 52 and just found out that I am on the spectrum with ADHD. The therapist said that I muscled through the issues to basically be “normal”. Now I’m a little more confident that I’m on the right path. It’s baby steps that will help you make it everyday. It’s not a sprint it’s more like a triathlon. To quote a children’s song “Put one foot in front of the other, and soon you will be walking the door”
I want to be friends!!

I am here for you I complete understand the struggles you face especially in the dynamic of finding friends maybe we can be friends
@AdaMae Hi There, Im open to be being Friends.
I would love to be friends. Not sure I did this write as I replied to you but doesn’t have it visible. But been diagnosed since 11 but really started finding myself while having ADHD at like 28-29 about to be 35 and I found out I have mild autism as well. Been struggling with friends as I feel they abuse me by take, take and I receiving nothing in return. I find myself isolating with me and my husband. Have a hard time keeping a job because someone always ends up bullying me, but I excel in my field especially by myself.
