I have this friend at work who has ADHD, and it's kind of difficult. She often makes impulsive and decisions, bit of a control freak and its kind of exhausting being around her for long periods of time. The best way I can describe her is she's like sugar: Good in small doses, really bad for you if you have too much.Recently I was supervising her driving home and it was pretty obvious something was bothering her. I tried asking if she wanted to talk about it, but she didn't say anything, she just blasted her crappy spotify music in her car. I tried to turn it down so I can speak with her but she told me to fuck off, pushed my hand away, and turned it up, we didn't say anything else for the rest of the drive.It was an uncomfortable drive and it made me question if my friendship with her has any future, and Im considering just keeping my distance from her. We can still maintain our level of friendship, but I think it will be near impossible for it to strengthen as thinking about it, our energies don't match and I feel like whenever she asks me to do something for her it feels like she's using me.
>>34716954Definitely maintain or reduce the level of friendship. Some people can actually manage ADHD without being assholes, but it sounds like she isn't one of them
>>34716954That's not solely explained by ADHD, these are behavioural issues.Relationships with ADHD-I are often difficult in terms of trying to talk them out of a bad decision - they're stubborn as an ox.No matter how hard you make the case that certain thing is bad, they'll do it anyway.So you just watch them do the dumb thing and sort of be there for then...Then the cycle repeats lmao.However, the difference is: It's mostly self-destructive instead of being overtly toxic.
