X-post Tl;dr these women in recovery loudly and often claim to be psychic and empaths and energy readers. Are they or are they attention seeking? Is it the years of substance abuse?

For context, I'm 26 and 3 years sober and very rarely go to AA meetings. These three interactions were with three other women, two in their late twenties to early thirties the other in her fourties.

All very obviously with some sort of ADHD thing going on, all within a year of sobriety.

I identify as an empath but not in the way that anyone needs to hear about it. It's not something I need to talk about let people know about.

These three women I've interacted with on separate occasions privately and in meetings.

They are the kind of people that will ask you a question then exit the conversation before getting a response, either because they have lousy attention spans or because they don't care.

They are on their phones mid conversation.

They are very loud, I'd even describe them as obnoxious. No concept of personal space, they insert themselves into conversations because they over heard something interesting that they want to be part of. Two of them claim to be psychic. It's not that I don't believe, it's that it appears to be attention seeking behavior. I also have been convinced that I have a different sort of intuition that others don't have, but I don't use my specialness or my as a way to draw attention to myself. It's another thing that needs no discussion or announcement.

These three other women, you couldn't be in a room with them for longer than five minutes before hearing about how they commune with spirits, are psychic, are empaths and read energy, and they're sensitive to others.

One of these women regularly ambushes new comers to meetings to read their aura and decode their past with her powers (her words not mine). She even used the recent death of my own mother and started insisting to me that she can communicate with her for me. She gets messages from my mom. I can hardly stand this woman, I doubt if my mother was communicating that she would use her to do it.

Are they being truthful or is it attention seeking? Am I just judging them by my own behavior and deciding they are wrong because they don't behave like me?
