Top Comments of this video!! :3
This impacts me in a lot of aspects in my life. It impacts my relationships, making me feel i have to be perfect or do things right for my partner, and if I do not, they will be mad at me . The reality is that is not the case, and it causes me to overeact and over apologize for nothing i have done wrong(leading my partner to sometimes overact to me overreacting). Some of you have probably been there, and it's annoying, especially when you or your partner did nothing wrong (just a blob of miscommunication)đ
I am going to therapy(go do it!! It really helps!) and working on epecations/perfectionism. Having adhd is hard, and as i got older, i would get overly hard on myself when i would make a mistake(still do). This video and message really helped put into perspective that the high unrealistic expectations are a product of perfectionism while relazing i dont need none of that!
When thinking what i call my frontal lobe, the concept of perfect doesn't exist. It's a social construct created throughout time, and what is perfect to one eye is perceived as heavily flawed in another. So what's the point of pursuing perfection if it truly does not exist.
Thanks for the video, and i hope this comment helps others as well to maybe give insight.â¤

I just got diagnosed with adhd at 31. I'm from Germany and many doctors here don't believe in the existenten of adhd itself. I could find myself in you're Video 100%... actually scary... :(
The Black and white thinking, the pressure I put on myself is unbareable.
My apartment has to be tidy, i have to earn and sage lots of money and have a successfull partnersh The biggest issues I have in partnership or i see myself as a complete failure in life. Biggest areas it effects me ate relationship, focus on weight loss, work tasks and my household. I think way too much about how other people judge me and feel like I'm completely falling life, compared to my peers, really...
I'm struggling a lot with my inner voice , living in the past or worryng about the future to the degree that it actually destroys my mental health.
Wish me luck with focusing on the grey area and get a groth mindest... đ˘

I feel this so much! My perfectionism shows up at work all the time. I think it's part of my masking behaviour to hide my ADHD "tendencies" from other people in a professional setting or making up for the fact that I mess up and forget things in other areas of work. When I submit something I want it to be perfect to make people forget about little errors that I've made elsewhere. Alot of my motivation at work is producing a "perfect" product. In the past its definitely lead to stress and burnout. I've gotten alot better with being more forgiving of myself.

Oh, this is all me. :face-purple-crying: One of the most annoying things is how, if I haven't gotten back to someone, I wait longer and longer to write back because of my guilt - it gets bigger and bigger and becomes a huge thing. I imagine how annoyed or upset or disappointed the other person is and I put it off because I do feel like I need to find some way to make up for it before I send a message back, and if I can't think of something, I can't bring myself to just get it done.

Please share if perfectionism is an issue in your life, and what you do to remedy it. Also, please let me know what kind of ADHD content you would like to see me create. â¤
