Real friends?

I guess by real friends you mean friends that are committed to you and either can or try to understand the way you feel. Personally I've never have had that friend because, firstly opening up to people is hard and personally, explaining how you feel is even harder, second of all I've found that people really like to be judgemental and lastly that finding that one friend is really hard for a person with ADHD, because from my own experience and understanding, it is really hard to know how other person feels if you haven't experienced same feelings, so trying explaining something to a person whose mind doesn't work like yours and for him to understand that, is even harder. So I guess that I've learned to cope with that and most of the time I'll just try to fit in with my friends, because it is way easier than always explaining your feelings and our minds love things that doesn't require that much work and effort which comes to a point where I would probably never meet a person the same way I feel. But it doesn't scare me, I've learned to deal with it and this sub really helps, because I can relate to many users here and the way they feel which helps a lot.
