The Struggle with Self-Trust in Adults with ADHD
Many adults with ADHD struggle with self-trust, often delegating their authority to others and living reactively rather than proactively. This lack of self-trust leads to agonizing over decisions and playing small, as they are unsure if they will follow through. Childhood experiences greatly impact self-trust development, with good enough caregivers validating needs and emotions, fostering autonomy and resilience. However, many ADHDers did not have this privilege, leading to an external locus of evaluation, valuing others' opinions over their own. It's important to redefine self-trust as believing in one's own experience, taking care of oneself, and having the ability to move forward, regardless of outcomes.
