Understanding ADHD and Emotional Awareness

People with ADHD, they notice everything.

They notice when someone's in a bad mood. They notice when someone's bored.

They notice when someone's not being entirely genuine or authentic.

They notice tiny fluctuations in someone's tone of voice, micro

facial expressions, heavier footsteps, and they notice immediately if

someone doesn't like them. They can even notice it through text

messages.

And there's a reason for this hyper intuition.

It's because ADHD children are criticized twenty thousand

extra times as a child. You're embarrassing yourself.

Why are you being lazy? Stop biting your nails. Why

are you crying?

Stop being dramatic. You're too sensitive. You're really rude.

Stop being weird. Stop fidgeting. Calm down. Be normal.

Stop it.
