[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- [b]They are hypersensitive a[/b]nd think me and others (mostly me) are super critical of them. As a result, they have told family members, friends and neighbors that I am not a good person.[/quote]

[b]This isn’t ADHD.[/b] This is being a jerk. I’m the PP whose spouse has ADHD and I made the post about leaving the stove on and feeling burnt out with all the extra stuff on me. This is frustrating and exhausting. But my spouse is also a kind a wonderful person. What you have is something else entirely. [/quote]

Rejection sensitivity dysphoria is a key hallmark of almost everyone with ADHD. It's a spectrum issue, so some feel it more acutely and some express it more outwardly (as opposed to internally). My husband is one of the world's sweetest humans until he is criticized. And he works very hard not to suffer any criticism. But when it comes, regardless of how innocent or truthful, his response will ALWAYS be disproportionate to the charge.

I suggest you all google Russell Barkley, phd. He has pioneered research and understanding of ADHD in all its complexities. And it touches everything! [/quote]

I'm sorry that's your experience, but I have multiple family members with ADHD and none of them are like this. Not everything is linked to ADHD. [/quote]
