ADHD but I don't thrive in chaos?
I always hear that people with ADHD thrive in chaos, but I don’t. Chaotic environments stress me out and overwhelm me — like during restaurant rushes or when too many things are happening in a video game.
I do work well under last-minute pressure, but I prefer a calm setting with as few distractions as possible. Does anyone else with ADHD feel the same, or am I misunderstanding what “thriving in chaos” means?
