ADHD Emotional Boundaries Blur
- Many with ADHD highly tune into others' emotions as a survival skill.
- This can blur boundaries between self and others, hindering personal development.
ADHD Motivation and Identity
- ADHD brains rely on emotions, not prefrontal cortex, to motivate and make decisions.
- This leads to shame and self-criticism as flawed motivators and a weak sense of identity.
Find Your ADHD Tribe
- Don't give up on yourself if you lack support and community.
- Put your bets on yourself and actively seek others with ADHD for kinship and understanding.
