ADHD Impacts Relationships

Living with ADHD poses challenges in relationships due to forgetfulness, impulsivity, and struggles with self-reflection. People with ADHD may forget important commitments, struggle to prioritize, and tend to overbook themselves, leading to perceptions of flakiness. Individuals with ADHD may also seek to please others excessively as a response to rejection sensitivity, impacting the authenticity of their interactions. Moreover, difficulties in working memory can lead to forgetting conversations and commitments, creating misunderstandings and potential conflicts in relationships.
