Because of my extroverted ADHD behaviours I assume that every social group I join will eventually have "had enough of me". Anyone else experience this? (fedia.io)

The only group that's ever accepted me and has welcomed me without doing that so far has been my local drama group (and, of course, this place :) ). There, it seems my "Golden retriever" energy is always welcomed and in fact valued. What's been your experience?

I'm dealing with such a moment right now and reading random threads on this sub helps. Legit panicking inside and hate myself so much. The irony is that it was just a normal conversation with a few disagreements and rationally, I can see that that was all it was, but emotionally I'm like "this person will never talk to you again" and "you're such a PoS. Why don't you just stay quiet like we agreed, you moron? Everytime you open your mouth you insert your foot in there and you know it."

Disclaimer: not diagnosed. Just have a lot of things in common with ADHDers and enjoy reading peoples thoughts and feelings and see where I can relate or where I can't relate.
