I recognize myself. Thank you for putting that into words. Out of curiosity, do you have an ADHD diagnosis or consider getting one?
Thanks for the first link, it led me to demand avoidance, where caregivers/friends can make it easier with declarative language. I’ve been working on similar thoughts about “how to talk to someone with ADHD”. E.g. I find it more comfortable to hear “let me know if you want support with that”, rather than be asked “do you need support with that?”. Somehow, no demand for response makes it easier to think and respond.
I had one as a kid along with who knows what other diagnoses. I’m not on any medication for it but I also feel like don’t really need it the way my life currently is?
