OP,

I say this with kindness. If your apartment is a pigsty, you won't be able to have friends or a potential date over, without them seriously reconsidering their relationship with you.

It sounds like you have ADHD and executive functioning is not your strong suit. It sounds like you don't have a lot of social needs.

If tidying up by yourself is too hard for you, can you afford a cleaner who will help you tidy up weekly as part of their fee? And who can "teach" you how to keep your apartment relatively clean, by telling you which storage to get, how to sort and dump, etc?

Seriously. I am married to someone with severe ADHD who just cannot, to save his life, tidy up. As a result our home looks like a bomb went off, because I can't do it all. It's hard to live with someone like that. If I'd known how his ADHD would impact our life, I wouldn't have married him, but as a single man, he had a mostly empty apartment so I couldn't see the problems arising from a house full of pets and kids.

I sympathize with the fact that you have meddling parents. I do too!

Executive function and social success go hand in hand. Please reconsider.
