It makes sense because ADHD people are often always searching for the next new thing for that dopamine fix.

I think k I have anxious attachment style due to adhd! Sometimes I wonder why I care so much. May be bring this up in therapy. It’s very weird for me. If a guy shows way too much interest too fast I get cold feet, but then if I get attached … I get anxiety. Mind never rests!

Never put the two together but so much makes sense now…

Okay what does promiscuity look like for you though / what definition are you working with

Thanks!

Memory is not my best asset, but I believe there is a portion of ADHD that make us “forget” what is not in front of us, not that we don’t like what is not in front of us in that moment, but we focus on the NOW, like kids when a stranger offers ice cream forgetting what mom had sad about strangers. So in a context of promiscuity, I would assume that this characteristic play a part making us be in the moment, which may be seen someone beautiful and having certain thoughts and so on, but acting on it depends on you. Although the ADHD play a part, we can always condition ourselves to not act on this thoughts without stopping to think for a moment… I mean… Unless your ADHD made you THAT forgetful that you barely remember how to breathe and in this case, good luck! Haha 😂

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

How do you know if someone likes you in the beginning of dating? I met this guy online who I thought was cute and we went on a few dates.

My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?
