When someone with ADHD has internalized an expectation of failure, succeeding can create a confusing emotional conflict
One aspect that often goes unaddressed is the potential connection between ADHD and a sense of entitlement. This article aims to shed light on this sensitive topic, exploring the psychological factors and social implications involved and ways to master change.
Black and white thinking, also known as dichotomous thinking, is a cognitive distortion that involves viewing the world in extremes – things are either right or wrong, good or bad, with no room for shades of gray. This type of thinking can have a profound impact on individuals with ADHD. It can contribute to feelings of self-doubt, perfectionism, and an all-or-nothing approach to tasks and goals. Black-and-white thinking can lead to a cycle of frustration and disappointment when expectations are not met, or mistakes are made.
Perfectionism can also have a dark side, leading to negative consequences for mental health and overall well-being. Understanding the underlying factors contributing to perfectionism and its impact on individuals is crucial.
