...my ADHD ass really somehow messed that up

It has been LESS THAN A MINUTE and my brain deleted the word HOW

Genuinely embarrassed at myself here lol

I will live with my mistakes

You're in good company <3

No judgment from me because I can see myself doing exactly that.

My friends know I have ADHD and they understand, that's why they're my friends.

If they're going through serious life shit and I'm unresponsive (which I specifically avoid), they'll call or knock on my door.

It's really nice having friends as an adult because you 100% choose each other instead of being forced together because of school/whatever giving you limited options.

I do that to some important stuff as well, and then I carry that guilt endlessly :(

How about months and months

(current record: 12 years, broken only by the need to open communication again because a mutual friend died)

All the time. I'm doing it right now. And to like genuinely good people that are being nice to me. And that I want to stay in touch with.

I don't open text messages that I need to reply to. I just read them from my notifications and keep them there so that it never goes away and I can't forget about it

three months later

Yep, I'll get to it.

I don't have ADHD but I did do it to a friend who sent me way too many messages and links to keep up with. I just started dreading opening the chat, so I stopped doing it.

They eventually caught on and said they wanted to reconnect, so I apologized and came clean. It's been good for years now and I learned from it.

It's gotten to the point where I'm better at remembering who to get back to—and on which platform/medium—than I am at remembering my mental shopping list...
