“Remember, all ADDers move towards internalization as they progress to adulthood. That is why it looks like it goes away.”

Huh??

I read the paragraph on this idea- but I don’t quite get it. Could someone explain it with examples or something? I do find it interesting.

I was more of an extrovert before the age of 16, when I went through some painful,stuff. Ever since then, I have been more introverted than I want to be. There is this little extrovert jumping around in me to get out. I know that I definitley am someone who leads with their heart and always have been that way. I’d say I was somewhere in the middle between extrovert and introvert. When I was a kid I was a ham. I was always putting on shows/plays for my family, and when I was a teen, I was cocky- until 16 that is.

I describe myself as an introvert now…but I was more extroverted as a young person.
