Insignificant

Growing up, we were told as kids that children should be seen and not heard. I remember when I was very young, I used to think people were watching me when I was out shopping with my parents and I remember telling my dad about someone looking at me and he said I was paranoid and they were not looking at me at all.

My mum used to say to me that they spent a fortune on sending me to private school and I only passed one exam. I was bullied throughout school and by the time I was 16 and taking exams, I had discovered boys and started having a social life and rebelled against everything.

I just felt insignificant and that people would not notice me. So when neighbours would look over I wouldn’t acknowledge them as they probably wouldn’t know who I was anyway. I still do feel insignificant and wondered if this is common in ADHD
