@catieosaurus: Sometimes being honest about your struggles isn't possible, but when it is, it can go a long way to communicating your needs #adhdinwomen #adultadhd #adhdbrain #adhdawareness #adhdadvocate #catieadhd
Unfortunately the autism makes it hard for me to lie, so instead I just don't tell people when I need help.

All of them! “I’ve started this project”, “I’m on top of my workload”, “I’m not struggling” etc. if I told the truth I’d have lost my job by now 😂

I didn’t realize how much of my ADHD was the reason for my struggles … and all my lies seem to be connected to my ADHD … 😳😅

About 50% the other 50% is trauma response.

I didn’t know that my lying was connected to my adhd, I lie so unconsciously that I don’t realize it and it’s not big lies either

I've started saying "the day/week/month got away from me" not a lie but also not me saying I forgot I was supposed to do this

A lot, but usually just to make explanations less complicated and long-winded. People like simple explanations. And my brain overly complicates things

Does anybody else also lie without meaning to? Like you just automatically respond to something and it comes out as a lie

I grew up being told "I forgot" isn't a valid excuse so now when I forget I make something up, it's hard to overcome

I lie because often the truth is a lot harder to explain or believe.

The Handwritten Hippo by Sara :
Almost 100% when I include my chronic illness. If I actually say, “I’m having a bad chronic pain or sleep day” no one offers empathy or understands

Brian/GalcianBTH :
We lie because the truth won't be taken seriously and if it is it's taken as a personal attack on them.

Sometimes lying is more believable than the truth and the only way to get close to being understood.

Yep people don't realize their reaction to the truth is what trains us to lie if the real reason is never "good enough" we'll just make one up that is
