If you have ADHD, it’s not that you’re “too sensitive.” Your brain is wired to feel things more intensely, more quickly, and with less of a buffer in between. Emotional regulation is harder, which means feelings can hit fast, feel bigger than expected, and take longer to settle. So what looks like overreacting is often your nervous system doing exactly what it’s been wired to do. Understanding that shifts the narrative from “what’s wrong with me?” to “this makes sense.”
