your post is very timely i was just telling my sister how difficult it is to verbalize my thoughts i’m a smart person with multiple degrees but i feel like an idiot most of the time it’s gotten to where i’ve just decided i’m going to live a more solitary existence because i can’t seem to explain myself to others have a hard time with interpersonal relationships and always feel a palpable distance between myself and others it’s sad because i’d like to have friends but i don’t feel like anyone “gets”me so many thoughts swirl around in my head and they make sense to me but they just don’t translate well i almost feel like i’m fueled by emotion that there just are no words for and i always feel regret about not having been able to say what i really meant i’ve not been officially diagnosed as adhd but as all my children have struggled with it it has forced me to see the similarities between them and myself i was always able to just push through and finish school or find work but my resume is laughable with the number of vastly different jobs i’ve held i wish i could make it better for my children but i haven’t figured it out for myself yet at least they know they can talk to me but it would be nice to be able to relate to others
