Sometimes I think it because many of us ADHDer are such tomboys and we just aren't interested in the typical girl things. I have after 52 years figure out to make some female friends but truthfully I prefer hanging with the guys tooo. My husabnd hate it : but I refuse to give up my guy friends . I like motorcycles and hicking , playing in the garden (dirt) and was very sports oriented . Football season to me just rocks. I love heavy metal. things most guys like. My femaale friends I always made in area that I held interest but my guy friends didn't and on these outside interest began a friendship. If you have a outside interst where females hang out just go , say hello and begin a conversation . Don't woory about making a friend it will develop on it own. I took a astrology class and believe me it just took a few classes a women i met is a friend for 17 years ; and we are close . It not easy for us ADHD to make friends but it can be done. Just find a nitch and it will flow. Good Luck (JUdi)

Sometimes I feel like I have to change who I am to fit in with other people. Thank you for sharing that I don't have to change who I am at all. Thanks!

I find I get along with guys better, too, but I am married now and guy friends get the wrong idea all the time and so I stick with my family only. Other woman are so insecure that if they see that I am more comfortable talking to their husbands than them they get annoyed. So I don't fret about it anymore. I hang with my cousin by email, he likes a lot of the same things I do and as far as women friends, I have my Mom and my awesome daughter, and then I have my awesome son, and husband as well for the tomboyish stuff. It's funny how a lot of women with A.D.D. are tomboys. lol We just like fast cars and/or trucks, Rock & Roll, and the like. It's just how we tick. And that OKAY! I am lovin' myself now and don't care what people think!

with an ever wandering self-image, bumped, knocked, bounced and played with from every direction, i love stimulation that boosts my ego. "a shot of 'love'" that lifts and directs me into feeling good seems better than floating around unsure who I am and of my intrinsic value. certain females have that impact. never guys. withdrawing from that stimulant is a unique form of hell. using my new brain to learn to become an adult is hellish, too, but long overdue.
