“I’m sorry” shouldn’t be your default setting. 🧠✨ For years, I thought my inability to say no was just a personality trait. I thought I was just “easy-going” or “considerate.” The truth? I was fawning. When you have ADHD, the world often feels like it’s built for someone else. You spend your life “masking” polishing the edges of your personality so you don’t overwhelm people. You say yes to things you hate just to prove you aren’t a “disappointment.” But here is the hidden cost: People-pleasing can be a trauma response, a form of self-disrespect. It’s an act of self-abandonment. Every time you manage someone else’s opinion of you, you abandon your own boundaries. True kindness isn’t about disappearing; it’s about being brave enough to exist exactly as you are. You were never “too much.” You were just trying to fit an ocean into a teacup. 🌊☕️ - Which slide hit you the hardest? Save this as a reminder for the next time you feel the urge to “shrink” for someone else’s comfort...
