reasons why people with ADHD lie
- we didn't remember what was happening and our brain made something up we only later realized wasn't true.
- no one believes us when we tell the truth so it's easier to lie.
- we didn't realize we were lying until the words were already out.
- we have a complicated relationship to truth in that we rarely know what it is until we're told/have it affirmed to us.
- We're embarrassed
- we're gonna get yelled at for telling the truth anyway (because it involves some ADHD fuck-up or other)
- the crushing fear of rejection we think will happen if we dont give the “correct” answer even if there is literally no wrong answer
oh. Oh
