I Have ADD

I've had it since I could remember. And that was the reason why I got held back in 1st grade. I can't be the only one that feels like this, but whenever a normal student talks to me it feels like on the inside they're going: 😖 or whatever. It just makes it seem like they're so awkward around/talking to me. It's like, do you want to talk to me or not? Cause it's like you're making yourself doing it instead. I'm not trying to be mean while saying this or anything. But it really just feels like that, to be honest.

Take what ever people say you are, like ADD and throw it away. Dont be what a doctor says you are. It affects the way you learn and process information. It doesnt make you.

@Oddnelly: I know. But it's kind of hard when you barely have friends that are normal students. Most of the friends I make have some sort of attention disorder or something. And they're in the resource room with me. The normal students barely talk to me and stuff. It's hard for me to not feel like they're doing that inside. And by them barely talking to me it does make me feel like I'm a whole lot different from them.

@KandiGhostcat: things change when you get older and out of school.

What's add? Becuse I feel that way also

@ErinFrisk: it is a learning problem in which a person has trouble paying attention. It's like ADHD, except for it doesn't have the hyperactivity. We may be very quiet, having trouble focusing, etc. Everyone that has ADD is different though, but I can't say this for all of us who have it are like this.

Hmm I'm not like that maybe just social anxiety

KandiGhostcat · 22-25, F

@ErinFrisk: probably. Cause usually people get diagnosed at a young age due to having problems in school.

That's what your parents get for immunizing you

@Flenflyys: what do you mean by that? If you mean medication I don't really take my pill to help me pay attention, since I am trying to learn to manage it by myself.
