Yeah. In my case it’s a mix of my ADHD/probable autism competing with each other.

The ADHD makes me crave novel social interactions that have a lot of emotion and joy.

My autism makes this seem exhausting. Half the time it causes me to cancel before I can even achieve my ADHD plans. And it leaves me feeling way WORSE than if I have never agreed to do the thing because now I’m flaky to people that actually are okay spending time with me that.

So now I made plans. Got excited. Ruined them. And potentially damaged a friendship.

It be hard out here when your brains doing it’s own shit.
