It seems that for me whenever the meds “kick in” I can’t really mask properly anymore which causes undesired social issues with some friends (especially in an outdoor setting like this meme implies). Wondering how many others experience this, and does anyone know why this happens? I haven’t found any good reading on it and the psychs I mention it to just dismiss it.
I take a stimulant (not concerta), and it doesn’t interfere with my socializing. In fact, it makes me better at socializing because I don’t try to speedrun infodumping anymore. While it is, admittedly, less fun that I don’t eventually end up blabbing about tsunami physics because somebody asked me whether I thought the Bluetooth keyboard was going dead, it means that there’s more actual conversation that happens between myself and others.
That said, my kids both take stimulants. I’ve observed that it effects everyone a little differently, so, I dunno, maybe it is the concerta doing it.
