New video out today!
ADHD and spectrum issues keep coming up in my research. There's a high search volume for how these issues affect relationships, so they get a special mention in today's video.
Some of the ADHD communication issues we'll talk about (I have most of these)
- Forgetfulness - I can’t hold two thoughts in my head
- Impulsiveness - I act before i think, especially with annoying issues
- Anxiety - I don’t any more, but this used to rule my life
- Emotional outbursts - built up tension and overwhelm
- Talk too much - more social anxiety than ADHD, comes from fear of losing their interest
- Can’t pay attention / listen - zoning out, do it all the time
- Disorganised - particularly bothersome to neat people, which we always end up with
- Feel lost, ignored, unloved - side effect of comms issues and resentment on both sides
Then we'll explore what these look like in a relationship when combined with Nice Guy Syndrome issues
- Covert contracts
- Alexithymia
- Pukes
- Fixing rather than support
- Unsolicited advice
- Constant manouvering instead of spontaneous honesty
- Pretending to be ok and pretending to listen etc.
