How to Make Friends – Social Skills Training for Adults with ADHD

How to make friends as an Adult with ADHD is a 2 Part Social Skills Training is for adults with ADHD who struggle to navigate social dynamics.

Social communication affects every aspect of an adult’s life — getting along with coworkers and bosses, interviewing for a job, maintaining friendships and romantic relationships, even attending social gatherings like a wedding or a birthday party without feeling stressed or inadequate. Making and keeping new friends is hard enough, and adults with ADHD face additional challenges with symptoms like impulsivity and inattention, which can get in the way of meaningful connection. What’s more, ADHD is often accompanied by comorbid conditions like anxiety or the shame of rejection sensitive dysphoria, both of which affect relationships.

“I have never seen anyone else offer a group for adults and I have had people reach out to me multiple times and ask. What I’ve told them to do is reach out to you (before you were offering the group.) I am thrilled that you’re doing this.” -Ryan Wexelblatt, LCSW

Usually when we tell a long, drawn-out story, it is due to our levels of arousal and we lose focus. This is a self-regulation issue. Watch for my advice on how to overcome TMI!
