inattention

Excuse Me?

by Brenda on June 16, 2009

This afternoon something embarrassing happened to me. Someone asked me a question – twice – and because I wasn’t paying attention, I had to ask them to repeat it a third time.

I wasn’t trying to ignore them or be rude, I was just distracted. I was in an unfamiliar place and a little stressed out.

That kind of thing happens a lot when you have ADHD, but the embarrassment never goes away.
