Why I Overexplain Everything (ADHD, Autism & AuDHD)

Why do I overexplain everything… even when I don’t need to?If you’re AuDHD, ADHD, or autistic, you might find yourself explaining things in way more detail than others — trying to avoid being misunderstood, judged, or rejected.In this episode, I explore why overexplaining happens, and how it links to masking, people pleasing, and rejection sensitivity (RSD).We talk about:– overexplaining and ADHD / autism / AuDHD– fear of being misunderstood or “getting it wrong”– masking, trauma, and needing to justify yourself– rejection sensitivity and overthinking– how to start trusting yourself without overexplainingThis isn’t about “just stop doing it.”It’s about understanding why your brain does this — and meeting yourself with compassion instead of shame.If you’ve ever left a conversation thinking“why did I say all that?”you’re definitely not alone.
