Misunderstood

What do you feel is the most misunderstood part of ADHD?

I get called lazy a lot but I’m not … I really want to get things done around the house but sometimes looking at everything that needs to be done over whelms me to the point I feel like I’m in a box that slowly closing in around me and I get depressed bc I want to do better I want to have a space I’m proud of but it’s like I hit a brick wall freak myself out and then sometimes I get yelled at about not cleaning and I put it off longer because yelling at me isn’t going to motivate me and I close up like a clam

Many think that it just means that I’m hyper, but it’s so much more than that. Nobody understands my lack of social cues, hyper fixation, lack of motivation, along with other things. I also think that many people confuse laziness to adhd.

The way I interpret verbal conversations, the amount of detail is greatly needed so I can understand and my responses even though I can’t speak my answers confidently; I feel like when communicating, my verbal responses are very bouncy and unsure But when I write responses I have time to find words and make sense of my responses
