I feel so bad, because people know MY name and I can't reciprocate. Is it because I'm a bad, self-centered person? A medical issue? Something else?
Gives me anxiety, bud.
ADHD is a brain/neurological disorder that has a wide range of symptoms, including memory issues. I can't tell you exactly why we have trouble remembering names but I am 100% certain that it's not because you're a bad or self-centered person.
You've gotta give yourself a little grace. Living with with ADHD is hard and you can't just power through it, any more than someone missing a leg can run marathons.
What does it matter if I give myself some grace if society does expect me to run that marathon though?
