sounds like an interesting book. i'll have to check it out.

I agree. Relationships are a huge part of life that is affected by ADHD. One of the biggest eye openers for me after I began ADHD medication was how messed up my friendships were. Seriously. I feel like before I was treated, I was sort of going through life and making a mess of all the relationships I did have. I was impulsive, I interrupted people's conversations, I always had to be the one talking, I was a notorious gossip, I would say things that I didn't mean, etc. For that reason, I have very few close friends. I realized after I was treated and was able to look back, that I had missed a lot of potential friendships and that i had messed up a lot of the ones that I did have. It was so wierd to look at my relationships from that outside perspective and it really helped me learn how to manage my friendships in the future.
