Rejection sensitivity from ADHD is so real. My first thought about my followers on Mastodon is that everyone is just tolerating me and that people are going to get tired of tolerating my posts and all of them will just unfollow me at once. This is silly on so many levels, I know, but it's my default thought. 

I think it would be very hard for neurotypicals to truly understand how isolating it is to have ADHD. I've been alone for so long that I'm basically immune to loneliness. Pandemic restrictions had almost no effect on my social life but they seemed to absolutely crush others. Granted, I had the privilege of not worrying about exposure or income during lockdowns but, because those weren't worries, the initial lockdowns were a really positive experience for me.

It only got hard when my brothers stopped caring about the pandemic.
