Individuals with ADHD often experience heightened emotional sensitivity, leading to intense reactions to injustice and emotional burnout. Their brains process information differently, with heightened reactivity and a struggle to regulate emotions. As a result, they feel outrage and helplessness more acutely, particularly in response to perceived unfairness. This phenomenon, termed justice sensitivity, manifests as self-blame or shame in the face of rejection. The prevalence of disheartening news exacerbates these feelings, presenting challenges for those with ADHD as they navigate a world influenced by constant societal injustice.
With fewer mental pauses, the ADHD brain feels emotions more intensely. Rejection sensitivity can turn helplessness into self-blame or shame.
ADHD and justice sensitivity can lead to emotional burnout. Injustice impacts those with ADHD deeply because their minds hyperfocus on what feels meaningful.
