Ha, my ADHD can make me either very outgoing and extremely energetic or quite aggressive and moody. I do sometimes behave like an introvert because I have a level of social anxiety and I can be very worn out by social interaction especially if I'm overwhelmed, upset, in any other sort of negative mood, or talking to people I don't know well. I get worried they won't like me and it makes me feel like I'm performing.
I define myself as an extrovert because I'm never happy unless I'm with people. When I'm alone, I come on forums like this and talk or play games while listening to someone talk on YouTube so I feel less alone. When I am comfortable with people, I love being around them constantly. I would consider that "drawing" energy from other people and therefore being strongly extroverted even though I don't always 100% fit the mold.
