This is weird to me because the vast majority of people I know that have ADHD are basically social addicts, in mostly bad ways. Everyone is different, of course, but it's been a recurring "theme" that I get to know someone, notice that they are basically unable to spend time alone and always look social validation, and then learn that they have ADHD.

I am the total oposite, i like to hang out with friends from time to time but i prefer to stay at home all alone for most of the time, and if i get too much social activity i crave to get back home and try to avoid contact with anyone that i can

I have a clingy girlfriend who needs attention at almost all times and I can't leave her be for very long or she gets depressed. I have ADHD, so it becomes exhausting after a while. I just wanna be left alone to do my own thing sometimes and will do whatever I can to do so. I can't spent 8 hours talking, I don't have the attention span and don't like small talk. I love hanging out with her, don't get me wrong, but I crave alone time to focus on my own stuff.
