Hello! Just a quick question for fellow ADD/ADHD folks out there - do you find maintaining and/or making friendships with others hard?

I've always felt pretty out of the loop with that. I always feel like I stick out because some part of my body is always moving and restless, or my mind is elsewhere. So I get shy because I feel like the odd one out. Although usually my personality comes out later on and it grows on people. (:

I have consistently felt this way throughout my educational career - elementary school, middle, high school, and now college. I'm in a program with a group of people throughout the rest of my degree, however, which helps alot with making friends. Being medicated helps as well. But when it wears off - hello little miss sunshine! I get so snappy and annoyed at everything!

Maintaining friendships is hard because friends will tell me things and I'll forget. And I do care, but I forget. Or I'll interrupt them, just because I'm excited about something. But really good friends understand that. It's just hard when your friends are at college and you forget to keep in touch.

How about your experiences? Do you find this to be a problem for you? Or do you have other problems that play into part with friendships as well? I'm interested in hearing other people's thoughts!
