Even in aloneness, never truly alone.

Did my last comment make any sense? Did it seem negative? It’s not, and I don’t feel lonely. Because I can relate to most, if not all other ADDers when we discuss the symptoms of Adult ADD. And I can assure you that I do understand how it feels to have ADD/ADHD.

I tell people quite often that they are not alone when I have some of the same feelings. And I am standing with you, so you are not alone.

I just will not lie to myself and think that anyone could be helped by me if I invited them into my inner very real dilema. I even have to protect myself from that and make that part of myself stand alone, and stay put. I am a very strong man on the outside, and that is what I want you and me to see here and on my own blog.

Alone and feeling lonely? Two different things. I am alone, and I don’t feel lonely. I have to want to be alone. It would be a mortal sin against humanity to wish anyone to know what I truly know. It is also impossible for anyone to know. And honestly, from the deep depths of my heart I will plead with you…..Please do not wish to ever know…what I know.

Once again, you hit the nail on the head. You can have a room full of people and you still feel alone.
People do not understand it.
We seem to be so misunderstood by so many people!

Yeah, I know what it’s to be alone : I always felt alone ! Even if I was in a crowd, in a group with supposed friends, in the shops, in the streets, speaking or singing in front of people, I felt alone, strangely alone.

But this is the good news : now, I know why, I have ADHD and there is plenty of people who have it. This community is the proof of it.

It’s why it’s so important to have created it.

Thank you again for reminding me that I’m not “terminally unique” in my experiences of the world. It’s amazing how ADDer World provides each of us – from all around the world and from every background – with a safe place to benefit from and contribute to these healing discussions. This forum is a terrific source of encouragement and inspiration. Thank you for another spot-on post!

Dear Bryan,

You have captured the essence of my aloness. I have just been put on notice that I have 60 days to improve my work communication. I make my friends uncomfortable, my siblings think I am nuts and avoid me, and my adult children find me difficult. I can not handle one more issue so I remain alone, at the bottom of a deep well. While I long to belong, inside I know I can never be a part of anything or anyone. So while lonely, the well is cool, dark, and comforting. It never complains about me and always accepts me for who I am, and no one can see me there.
