"Fitting in is cutting off pieces of yourself." I love that so much!

Love that she redirected you saying “being weird, or cutting people off is my authentic self.” - that she said “it’s not your authentic self, it’s a skill set you’ll need to build.” Which felt very positive and assuring that we can build ourselves up in making friends☺️

I really struggle with that sense that I have to take what I can get or accept anyone who seems to like me. Part of it is that I love people and am a people pleaser, and part of it is that I feel like everyone should be kind to each other and everyone is so interesting so of course there's no reason I should not try to be friends with everyone, but there's definitely also that kernel of "take what you can get, you can't afford to turn anyone away"... even if I have more connections than I have time for already!

found this so helpful and will definitely check out the book. I always thought I was just a solitary person that was very happy in my own Company that didn’t really need other people but as I’ve recently discovered (after realising late in life that I am ADHD up the Yin yang) I do very much need people in my life and I love people but I have been protecting myself all this time by isolating myself so I didn’t get hurt or rejected. I think this book will help me and other ADHDers a lot. Looking forward to reading it!

Such a good video. I bought the book straight away and looking forward to reading it!

Bless These Broken Words

Watching you guys hug at the end of the video literally made me cry. It felt like such a hug of genuine friendship which is so awesome to see. I know I’ve had moments in my own life when a hug felt so forced and awkward, and other times when it felt like a real and genuine act of love and friendship. I’m so happy to see people who’ve also struggle with friendships actually having a moment of genuine friendship. It gives me hope for my own friendships.
