Ah, compliments are part of communication. Something that we all struggle with, some more than others, so i’d have to say yes it is a ADHD related thing.

Anyways, I told myself i’d try to keep this short, so…. Yes, I am horrible when it comes to compliments. I have a lot of talents and hobbies, a lot of people know this about me, whenever I am into something new or just the old stuff and a stranger sees me interacting in whatever it is i’m doing, they might give me a compliment and I never know what to say in return other than thanks.

It even feels uncomfortable afterwards cause I have no follow up. Just thanks. and an blank expression.

i’m getting better at it but its deffinately something that i’ve had a problem with since I was a kid.
