ADHD Shame: Where It Comes From and Why It’s Not Your Fault

ADHD shame is one of the most common — and least talked about — experiences for adults with ADHD. Many people carry a quiet belief that something is “wrong” with them, even when they’re trying their hardest.
In this podcast episode, we explore where ADHD shame comes from, how it develops over time, and why it has nothing to do with your worth or effort. This is a calm, non-shaming conversation about the emotional impact of living in a world that often misunderstands ADHD.
T
his episode is for adults with ADHD who:
• feel guilty or “behind” no matter how hard they try
• carry a sense of failure from school, work, or relationships
