Hey Rainbow, I will speak for myself and tell you that I am not selfish as a person with ADHD.

First off, so sorry you had that pain in your life.

I am usually the one to end a relationship because I feel that I am the weaker person, and that my partner is better than me, and deserves much better than a mixed up failure, which I have convinced myself I am. I run a business, and a non-profit, and have always been a giver. I think there are many individual personalities, and ADD gives us some traits, but we all handle our lot in a different way.

I’ve never been one to hold a grudge. I really do forget things. It would have to be HUGE, and very painful for me to hold a grudge, and even then, I’m forgiving as I don’t have enough room in my head for that type of negativity. My Grandmother though! She also had ADD, and that woman held a grudge! She used to have notes all over her apartment to remind her of things. One day I found a note in her freezer that said: “Remember, you are mad at Shirley”. Honest to God! Shirley was my Mom (also ADHD). Grandma had several grudges!

Remember, with or without ADD, Mean People are out there!
