I’m not sure if this is an ADHD related thing so I want some feedback.

For the longest time whenever I try to communicate an idea, a process, a plan, a piece of information … I’m oftentimes either not taken serious or people misunderstand me.

I know for myself that I sometimes skip steps in my explanation because I feel they’re too obvious to bother explaining. But sometimes it’s ridiculous to the point where I feel like people are out to dismiss me not on the basis of the information I’m providing.

Does this resonate with anyone?

    Yeah.

    I’ve been working on this, even started to believe I’d gotten good at it.

    And still, I’m sitting here this weekend feeling really worthless because I tried to deal with a group of upset people and they took my efforts to help and attacked, judged and rejected me for it.

    And I know all of what went on, I know exactly what I’d say to someone who is where I am right now and it doesn’t help me today. I hope I feel better tomorrow.
