Episode notes
ADHD's Heightened BS Radar
- ADHD individuals develop heightened emotional radar from early life criticism and rejection.
- This causes acute sensitivity to others' moods as a survival and protective mechanism.
Masking Masks True ADHD Self
- ADHD people often mirror others' emotions and body language to avoid criticism.
- This masking pulls them further from understanding their true self.
Managing Rejection Sensitivity (RSD)
- Regularly check if you've faced rejection to encourage risk-taking despite RSD.
- Use delayed responses for requests to set boundaries and reduce people-pleasing.
