I’m sure lots of ADHDers know what I mean. Situations where you’re not meaning ill intent, but the way that a situation turns out makes it seem like you’re the bad guy/girl.
How do you handle the situation without seeming like a victim or that you’re making excuses for yourself? Do you explain the situation or just accept it and hope that enough time will reveal your true character?
Make a deadpan joke, remain silent, expect nothing in return. Dread. Internally scream for a few seconds, then realize you don’t really care that much. End up with a muted meh.
