My childhood best friend is ADHD, all but 1 of my other childhood friends is ADHD and about half of my current friends that I hang out with are either ADHD, on the autism spectrum or likely to be but as yet undiagnosed.

Yes, because other people are boring
I’ve tried so many times. Can’t do it. Especially as an adult and all most people want to talk about are their kids and work.
Thanks no thanks. I’m talking to you for stimulation. Not reminders of my own responsibilities I’ve probably been inadequately maintaining.
They don’t… do anything! They don’t talk about themselves or that side project they’re obsessed with (what side project?) or their shower thoughts or… How am I supposed to work with that?
Just void of enthusiasm and personality
Try to find a boardgame group near you and when you hang out with those people everybody will be focused on playing a stimulating game whether or not they are ADHD!
I hate when people only talk about the executive function schedulizing and management of their life. Not only is it boring it just stresses me out. Thinking about it in my own life is already overwhelming enough for the microscopically sized executive function department in my head.
