Is it an ADHD thing to need time alone more than neurotypical people do? And if so, how do make sure you get it?
I haven’t been diagnosed with ADHD but am starting to suspect that I have it.
One thing I know about myself is that I REALLY struggle if I can’t have time alone and it’s also the main thing that I know that the people in my life struggle to accept about me. It makes me feel really bad not getting enough time alone and not feeling like it’s OK with other people if I take it.
Not sure if this is something people with ADHD relate to. Maybe you guys can tell me?
Yup. You can have ADHD and be an introvert. You can enjoy socializing and be an introvert. You can be loud and be an introvert. Being an introvert simply means that socializing takes energy. It says nothing about how you socialize, or what you do when you socialize. After too much socializing, you’ll feel burnt out and need some alone time to recharge.
