#175 ADHD, Authenticity & Oversharing: Can you be yourself without sharing everything
Description
Where’s the line between being authentically yourself and oversharing because… Hi we have ADHD!
In this episode, I’m unpacking why so many ADHDers share deeply, quickly & sometimes before we’ve checked whether we actually want to.
We’ll explore:
- Why ADHD can make us crave fast connection
- How impulsivity, dysregulation, shame & masking can fuel oversharing
- The difference between authenticity & urgency
- Why privacy & boundaries do not mean you’re being fake or inauthentic
- Questions to help reflect on what you choose to share
You can be open, honest and completely yourself without giving everyone immediate access to every part of you.
