Navigating Friendship Challenges
Friendship can be particularly challenging for individuals with ADHD due to various factors, such as executive function weaknesses and social missteps that can alienate peers. This can lead to feelings of rejection and avoidance of social interactions, as past negative experiences shape the narrative that friendships are unlikely to succeed. Consequently, some may feel compelled to withdraw from social opportunities, which can result in increased loneliness and potential mental health issues. Overcoming these challenges often requires recognizing the importance of friendships for building self-confidence and understanding one's own worth.
