Does anybody here have adhd and are you bad at texting your friends?

[hsshannah96]

Because I always thought alongside autism I have adhd but I don’t get enough people texting me that I am bad about getting back to them Can anybody help me understand this I have always believed when someone says they’re bad at texting that they really just don’t like YOU and don’t wanna text YOU, but everybody I interact with says this. Everybody.

I'm an Aspie. Some people (like older people) might not be that great at texting but anyone else I would think they're not too enthusiastic

[hsshannah96]

Gotcha
Thank you!

[hsshannah96]

I’m an aspie as well

[ThrillSeeker01]

I worry a lot about what people think of me... like for any reason, it feels like. If they don't text or if I don't say anything or if I say the wrong thing. People say I worry to much

[ThrillSeeker01]

Too**

[hsshannah96]

I was bullied a lot as a kid that’s where it comes from
Haven’t been able to fix it yet

[ThrillSeeker01]

I was bullied a lot too (like it was painful). I haven't totally fixed it either. Like it effected me in every way, and I honestly think I'm a little twisted/weird because of it

[hsshannah96]

Same

[Adogdog]

I don't think I have adhd, but I can take while sometimes too getting back to people.

[hsshannah96]

how long is a while and are you having many people texting you at one time?

Why am I the only one who doesn’t have this issue 🤣

[Adogdog]

Message me and I will tell you.

[TiaNour]

Yeah I got it and I always forget to text people lol

[hsshannah96]

Would you prefer calls?

[hsshannah96]

Meet me halfway here like

[TiaNour]

I always forget to call someone, but I would prefer someone to call me instead of texting me

[hsshannah96]

ah ok
Interesting! I’ll start asking people about this!

[mandyfire98]

Yes and yes.

[hsshannah96]

How long does it usually take you? I’m just wondering how long to wait before I know they hate me aha

[mandyfire98]

My friends know by now that it's just how I am. That I'll get sidetracked on something and just forget. They know it's not personal at all. They'll text me back and just remind me haha.

[hsshannah96]

Ok so it’s ok if we send you a beeline of texts 🤣🤣🤣I don’t want to look like a stalker

[mandyfire98]

Haha. I mean not like obsessive amounts of texts but a few is cool.

[hsshannah96]

So many times even after a few texts they don’t write and it can be like 1-3 months. Do I delete the text feed at that point

[mandyfire98]

I mean you might can just text them and check in once in a while. That would be fine to just remind them.

[lildkman1010]

Yes I have a lot of issues
