Why ADHD Makes Us People Please: Boundaries, Empaths & The Fawn Response

This week we're getting into one of the biggest struggles for ADHDers; people pleasing and boundaries. We talk about the ADHD fawn response, why we say yes to plans we don't want to go to, the exhausting reality of being an empath (including making up entire sad backstories for strangers on the tube), and the pressure to be the "chill girl." We share personal stories... from staying in a 6-month situationship with someone who didn't want the same things, to inventing dying grandparents to get out of plans, to crying over bedroom curtains. Plus practical tips for setting boundaries when conflict makes you want to crawl out of your skin, how to spot the signs your boundaries need work, and why the right people will never ask you to abandon yourself to keep them comfortable. If you're someone who can't say no, ghosts difficult conversations, or feels responsible for everyone else's happiness — this one's for you.
