THINGS WOMEN SOMETIMES DO THAT ANNOY MEN IN RELATIONSHIPS

1. Expect him to read your mind.
If something is wrong, hints and silence can create more frustration than simply saying what you need. 1/7

What's something you did for years before finding out it was an ADHD thing?

Not the obvious stuff. The weird ones. Going a month without texting a friend you genuinely love. Hating showers because of the cold bit when you get out.

5. The goal isn't a perfect home. It's fewer unanswered decisions around you, so your brain stops carrying them in the background all day. 6/6

4. Then kill the decision for next time. One basket for keys, one hook for the bag, the same spot every day. The routine isn't there to make you organized. It's there so your brain never has to decide. 5/6

Get external help (someone with better executive function)

Address dopamine (low dopamine amplifies anxiety) 5/5

Having ADHD is so frustrating when someone asks you about a subject you've spent years learning and your brain suddenly acts like it's never heard of it. Give me twenty minutes alone and I'll remember everything. Ask me on the spot and apparently I know nothing.

HABITS I STOLE FROM ADHD ADULTS WHO FINALLY STOPPED DROWNING IN THEIR OWN LIFE. 1. Pick one day and wash the whole bed at once.

Is this not antagonizing?

For context I met this guy at my gym. He’s attractive & we see each other a lot but have only made eye contact without talking. This convo was like a day after he asked for my number and I’ve never been more turned off. I was fully arid by question 3 like sir I said yes because I wanted to? and I conceal carry

Neurotypical people: "Just make a to-do list."
ADHD people: Has a list. Has three lists. Has an app for the lists. Hasn't started the first thing on any of them.

This can be exhausting, especially when a relationship becomes another place where they feel they must perform rather than be understood.

A loving relationship should allow honest conversations about needs, limits and support. 4/4
