After years of suspecting ADHD (and two decades of struggling), I decided that maybe I have ADHD. While I wait for an answer from the psychologists, I decided to take an online ADHD self-diagnosis questionnaire out of curiosity.
I found myself mousing over and highlighting the text in one of the questions over and over, thinking about something my girlfriend told me the other day, struggling to actually read the question. When I finally read the question, it was:
How often are you easily distracted by external stimuli, like something in your environment or unrelated thoughts?
Safe to say I started laughing out loud. Starting to feel pretty certain that I’m one of you :P
(I am still mid questionnaire)

This type of feedback is not always well-received. Do you think your friends know that you are open to hearing their critical analysis of your personality traits?

That can be tricky but understand what you’re saying. I think many people are concerned, sometimes overly concerned, with offending others, so they avoid even making the barest hint that someone may have an issue.
