Like, okay, pause.
So you're lacking that side of things, but you've also had a massive emotional trigger.
So it's like a perfect storm, in a sense.
You've got a massive emotional trigger that is already switching off that part of the brain that's already underperforming or not the most kind of controlled part of the brain.
And therefore, it's a perfect situation for a horrible experience.
And I genuinely think if you can...
If you can find techniques to not control and prevent, I don't think it's actually possible to prevent, but you can manage it and you can create space, then I think that can really help.
But I think some of it is, to that example of that situation, I think sometimes you have to say to someone, hey, just so you know, I've got ADHD or rejection sensitivity is a big thing for me.
Do you mind if we jump on a quick phone call?
Can you just give me any details of the conversation?
So I have it with my team.
For example, Abby, if she says, oh, can we chat about something later?
I'll say to her, what's the details?
In fact, Abby will just tell me what the details are of the conversation so that I know what it is.
I guarantee whatever you tell me, my vision of what it actually is is 50 times worse.
If you combine ADHD and OCD, which is what I have, then that's an even bigger recipe for disaster because you've got a brain that is impulsive.
that is emotional, that can kind of jump to the worst-case scenario with an obsessive-compulsive brain.
And that is a perfect storm.
It's why I think OCD and ADHD is so commonly coexisting, because you have a sensitive brain that has this impulsivity, that has this higher emotional state of ability,
with this part of the brain that will latch on and think and think and think and think and think it's uh it's a painful combination of time so i'm really careful with people if i think that i'm going to overthink this i'll say can you just give me clarity even if we don't talk about it now i just need to know what the conversation is because i can deal with that and exactly that scenario it ended up being something positive you know the thing you thought it was wasn't even not as bad as a bloody good thing and you've like it's not her fault but you've been sent in a sense self-sabotage the situation out of nothing
