In this video, I'm tackling a difficult but crucial topic: why criticism can be so incredibly challenging for me as someone with ADHD. I'll break down the key factors that contribute to this struggle, including:
- Emotional Dysregulation: The intense emotional highs and lows I can experience before, during, and after an argument or critical feedback.
- Communication Difficulties: How my ADHD symptoms can make it hard for me to articulate my feelings and be understood during a conflict.
- The Micromanagement Trap: Why being micromanaged is especially tough for my ADHD brain and how it can feel like a constant evaluation.
- Being "Outside the Box": The unique struggles I face wanting to do things differently in environments that promote more conventional methods.
- Feeling Constantly Evaluated: The exhausting sensation of being under a microscope and the impact it has on my self-worth.
If you have ADHD, or you're a loved one trying to understand these challenges, this video offers insight and validation.
