Friendship as an adult is hard—and when you have ADHD, it can feel almost impossible. The impulsivity, the overthinking, the struggle to set boundaries or trust your gut... it’s a lot. But you can build strong, supportive friendships—and it starts with knowing what to look for (and what to avoid).
In Part 1 of this two-part series, we’re breaking down:
- Why friendships can be uniquely challenging for ADHDers
- How to recognize red flags before you waste time on the wrong people
- What green flags to look for in a healthy, balanced friendship
- How to make new friends as an adult (without it feeling totally overwhelming)
- Why it’s important to go slow and avoid the overshare/overinvest spiral
You’ll walk away with a better understanding of what makes relationships feel safe and energizing—and how to stop settling for less than you deserve.
💛 Don’t miss Part 2 next week, where we’ll dive into how to actually GO OUT AND FIND FRIENDS!
