Ridiculousness

Hi, me again.

Another thing i wanted to ask about is why i am so ridiculous in the company of people that i am comfortable with? My parents, brother and sister, grandparents, i say stupid things, sometimes i just do lines from movies, or i ask the same questions over and over, or i tell lies about what i did (usually these lies are from something i read in a recent fiction novel) . . . or i get stuck on one or two questions like 'howareyoutoday' and 'nicedaytoday' . . . and so on.

General immaturity i guess. I can hold it back for a bit and act normal for a while . . . if i am depressed it doesn't happen

Anyone know what i'm talking about?

you might have ADHD....read up on it.....

Why do you say that? Are you informed about the symptoms or are you just guessing?

i have ADHD and will say stupid things in front of my wife and family.....sometimes just random weird things....and get stuck on one

it is a symptom from what ive read

May I suggest a visit to a mental health professional so they can properly assess your sypmtoms and provide a diagnosis if possible?

Good Luck,

Dee

Me, too!! I call it eccentric, as I hate trite conversation and want to spruce it up a notch....make it more interesting...monkey wrench 'em....make them think about deeper more interesting things..cannot stnd boring conversation...perhaps you are just creative, eccentric, or even smarter than the rest of the dull population.....

I dont know hon, but "ridiculous" is one of the many names an unkind someone has called me.

Let us know how things are going, maybe do some research..

It sounds like playfulness to me.

I guess the criteria for a disorder is when it is interfering with your life or the way you want to be . . . i think this ridiculousness has contributed to my Social Anxiety because i don't speak so people don't figure out how ridiculous i am, at least, that is part of the reason i don't speak

hope you get the help you need. good luck.
