About this listen
You were labeled the "shy kid" growing up. Now you're wondering - was that really shyness, or was something else happening?
If you've ever thought "I wasn't antisocial, I just needed different things" or felt confused about why you desperately wanted friends but found social situations so draining, this episode is for you.
There's a specific pattern many AuDHD adults recognize when looking back at their "shy" childhood - and it's not what most people think shyness actually is.
In this episode:
- Why you felt both left out and relieved to be alone
- The real reason you could connect easily with some people but felt paralyzed around others
- How labels like "difficult" or "princess" masked something adults around you didn't understand
- Why you may still feel that same internal conflict in social situations today
Looking back at your childhood with AuDHD understanding changes everything. The shy kid wasn't broken - they were just trying to survive in a world that didn't have language for what they needed.
