Show Notes

Making and keeping friends as an adult with ADHD can be really hard. We tend to move fast—bonding quickly, oversharing early, and sometimes getting burned. In this episode, I’m sharing two powerful (and practical!) skills that can help you build friendships that feel safer, steadier, and more fulfilling: going slow and listening better.

If you’ve ever felt like friendship is either all in or all out, this episode is your gentle reminder that connection doesn’t have to be chaotic. You can take your time. You can build trust. You can listen—and be heard.


💡 What We Cover:

  • Why people with ADHD often “speedrun” friendships
  • A mindset shift to help you slow down and stay grounded
  • A gut check to use before oversharing
  • Simple tools to help you stay present while listening
  • How going slow can actually deepen your relationships
