    I'm 60, diagnosed at age 49, but ignored it. During menopause, it hit me square between the eyes. I felt this in my core.

    Ho-ly fu........ This hit me really hard. Not just with me going back to my own childhood, but also how I was blind to some of the same behaviors I am guilty of perpetuating on my own kids. I know I need to be more understanding, and your reminder that that skinned knee is a 12 really resonates. Thanks, sir.

    Hey Steve, I'm a 29 yr old guy - diagnosed with ADD 3 months ago.
    I'm going through a breakup - I know it'll get better - but the negative self talk is rough - Your videos are godsent to me right now. You are addressing things that aren't that much talked about online and I think you're doing a fantastic job.
    Thank you so much.

    I just found out I might have inattentive ADHD and watching your videos are actually blowing my mind how much I can relate to you! I'm truly thankful you made these videos. This is honestly life changing for me

    My. Life! I have been called over-emotional, too sensitive, and told my problem is that I care too much for as long as I can remember. I always joke with people and say that I'm a weepy broad. Happy or sad, doesn't matter, I usually fail at trying not to cry. Because of the emotional dysregulation that comes with ADHD, I feel things really deeply. Over time, I've learned to judge myself a bit less for it but I still feel pretty self-conscious when I get emotional in public.
    Where this makes me the most angry though is with some of the guys I dated before I got married. They would try to use it as a means to avoid accountability for bad behavior and being a self-centered, disrespectful ass. I'd bring up something they did that upset or hurt me, if it was really bad I'd be in tears, and there was always the, "You're being over emotional" comment. Did I mention I'm also a natural redhead? Honestly, I hate confrontation and avoid it at all costs. So if I'm bringing up something that hurt me, I'm usually pretty demure about it because I hate conflict and don't want to talk about it in the 1st place. So I'm not over here yelling, and screaming, and going off on a tear. Also because that typically doesn't solve anything anyway. I just cry really easily. Men who use that as a manipulation tactic are the worst.

    I love the skinned knee analogy! Great to keep in mind when you're about to lose it on an annoying child

    The thing about others blaming me cause i felt hurt by their actions made me cry a little bit😄I have always wondered why we are not more considerate of our fellow human beings.
    (As a child i didn't even like to chase other kids or to wrangle with them while playing😅) The worst moment was to feel the tears coming but not being able to stop them or escape the situation because you were in class, for example. All the attention shifted on me and my face and eyes felt like burning hell. Even if no one commented it felt so inappropriate and i felt guilty of being to sensitive or inattentive😔I have so much thoughts on this topic i cant put in this comment. Steve i love your Videos

    Im glad you decided to be a youtube influencer. I feel like your discussions and tips are helpful and you explain it well. You sound very calm and confident which helps folks like me not get over stimulated when watching certain videos/explanations. Thank you. I would enjoy listening to you on podcast.

      Thank you so much for watching, commenting, and liking my videos. I'm actually working on a video right now to post this week (not sure what day). It has a short version of why I haven't posted in a while. Not to worry though. I still plan on making videos. Again, thank you for your support.

      @@stevewithadhd Absolutely. Great stuff. I love the one you did about your son with the manicure. So important. I’m going to show some of these to my 10 year old daughter. I think she’ll really like them as well.
