Trauma Dumping in ADHD

Introvert vs Extrovert in ADHD.

Individuals on the same spectrum do share basic traits however, each person has their own personality.

In ADHD/ASD, we can identify two main groups, Introverts and Extroverts.
The popular belief is that all ADHDers are overly emotional, these are the most hyperactive and social, hence visible.

I’m an extrovert always looking for company, particularly in Entertainment.
I value friends a lot, although I spend most of the time with my wife at home.

Watching tv still remains the top priority before bed.

This doesn’t ensure common tastes everytime.
I favour docudramas, she’s a variety type.

She often deserts me for online watching.

I dread watching TV on my own.

Entertainment is Sharing to me.
I acknowledge that is selfish behavior, though I can’t help with it.
I know where it stems from: Trauma Dumping.

My parents never watched TV with me.
I relive that experience by mirroring on my wife, despite not having it disclosed to her. Either arguing or turning the TV off follows suit. Better than watching alone.

On the contrary, I m ecstatic when she joins me.
I’ll have to tell her soon or later by reaching a compromise.

Trauma Dumping is the result of Emotional Dysregulation.
And tonight, my favourite drama is airing.
Waiting in anguish.
I’m scared.
