Part of #ADHD executive dysfunction can include intense emotional dysregulation, such as Rejections Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD); & hormone cycles can make this even stronger.

I don't think ppl realize how damaging RSD is to life; we're not just cry babies or easily sad... For ADHDers, the external world is weighted more than our internal voice. That's why criticism is so difficult. & there are no chains keeping our emotional response in control so we get trampled by them.

#ADHDers have a "talent" for disappearing.

ADHD-ghosting usually happens when RSD is in control; we believe the other person/ppl don't want anything to do with us cuz we made a mistake, missed a deadline, etc etc.

They're also a response to being overwhelmed by "all the things" But sometimes it's entirely unintentional. We don't notice time passing so don't realize how long it's been, & we aren't good at recalling something without being prompted so something needing a reply can get pushed to the background when our attention is full of "all the things"
