Absolutely relate. I always feel like I’m a little bit “too much” like “too loud, too vocal, too messy, too neat, etc” and I refer to myself as an extroverted introvert because sometimes I am so social then others I can’t leave the house 13:50:14 From Renada Jackson : @Tiffani, you arent alone!!! 13:50:22 From Erin Pangilinan : Reacted to "@Tiffani, you arent ..." with 🫂 13:50:26 From Andrea Morris : @Tiffani Price thank you for sharing the raw space you’re in.

I just moved and have to find some people to make playdates w/for my 7 year old son before school starts and I SO don’t want to bc I don’t want to deal with the moms lol. 13:53:14 From Backtothefrock : I hear you and see you Tiffani. I feel isolated in my journey to come to terms and manage my Adhd and depression. I have been shamed my whole life for my intensity and even my enthusiasm! My acceptance of myself wholistically does require strength which is a struggle to identify within myself and claim when we experience the world as difficult to navigate and offering harsh judgements. Kinship and understanding of what neurodivergence means is so important and legitimate.
