I find the kind of people I am most likely to get to know are others with ADHD, but our friendship hits a roadblock at a point for the following reasons:

1. Emotions are not acknowledged but I find myself in the therapist seat.

2. One-way conversations: Not meeting the other person halfway when you need to air something out and need a listener.

The couple ADHD people I get on with are usually more aware of such habits. I find that if I put a lot of emotional energy into caring for someone and it is not visibly acknowledged/reciprocated, it frustrates me, especially because I understand the feeling so innately. Like, you want to find people who are like you and understand you in your friendships, right?? I know how fucked up it seems

In my own relationship I have to repeatedly fight these aspects of myself so I guess it frustrates me to see people doing what I struggle to contain myself from doing. Maybe other people have figured this out, maybe I couldbe a better friend, if anyone has tips or things they've learned feel free to drop down below.
