Feeling Lonely and Misunderstood

Yve

I feel a combination of feelings, the main one is lonely right now. I feel like no one understands me, it’s hard holding conversations with people because I feel like I don’t have much in common with anyone. I feel like I’m too much for people and other people think so simple. It’s hard to explain. I love science so if I bring up a topic about something I learned to a friend, they usually tell me I think to much into things or ignore it completely then talk about simple stuff like what they are that day, or how it rained today. Then I’ll bring up how cool lighting is and why it happens. Most likely I won’t get a reply back…

      @frogs that’s how I feel. I feel like I need to make different friends but then I’m like how am I going to do that? I deleted my Facebook a long time ago. I don’t go out. I get really depressed so it makes it hard to go out. The k my times I feel happy is when my brother who also has adhd around. My boy friend of 6 years passed away 3 years ago, he was my best friend and also had adhd. I feel like after his passing I’ve been stuck alone. Not really understood by anyone.

      I am sorry you are feeling lonely. I feel lonely most of the time as well. I have problems with "small talk" or, as I call it, generic talk. It's not that I don't like it. It's just hard for me to know what to say. I would much rather talk about the deeper things, what's going on in our lives, something we learned, or conmon interests. My son is a scientific and mechanical type of person. He loves to talk about how things work or why things happen. It's easy for me to lose track of what he is saying, especially if I don't understand what he is saying. He has told me that it comes off as not being interested. That definitely isn't what I mean at
