ADHD Relationship Advice Hi Leslie: Thank you for your post. First, you should know you’re not alone. The Adult ADHD Love and Relationships Channel is ADDitude’s most popular – mostly because social skills problems and anxiety are so common among adults with attention deficit. Are you seeing a therapist or counselor who can help you with some strategies for overcoming your social anxiety? Role-playing exercises, maybe? I would suggest looking into that. You might also find some helpful advice in these articles… Making Friends: Relationship Advice for ADHD Adults Strategies for Social Situations You’ve Got Adult ADHD – Help is Here! Best of luck!
