Relationships with ADHD and Nice Guy Syndrome

Daily Dose of Integrity

New video out today!

ADHD and spectrum issues keep coming up in my research. There's a high search volume for how these issues affect relationships, so they get a special mention in today's video.

Some of the ADHD communication issues we'll talk about (I have most of these)

• Forgetfulness - I can’t hold two thoughts in my head

• Impulsiveness - I act before i think, especially with annoying issues

• Anxiety - I don’t any more, but this used to rule my life

• Emotional outbursts - built up tension and overwhelm

• Talk too much - more social anxiety than ADHD, comes from fear of losing their interest

• Can’t pay attention / listen - zoning out, do it all the time

• Disorganised - particularly bothersome to neat people, which we always end up with

• Feel lost, ignored, unloved - side effect of comms issues and resentment on both sides

Then we'll explore what these look like in a relationship when combined with Nice Guy Syndrome issues

• Covert contracts

• Alexithymia

• Pukes

• Fixing rather than support

• Unsolicited advice

• Constant manouvering instead of spontaneous honesty

• Pretending to be ok and pretending to listen etc.
