I am an introvert with ADHD. Which is actually not all that uncommon.
Socializing is not painful for me, but it is tiring. I need time alone to recharge.
Heck, I need time alone to stare into space. My brain needs frequent rest.
Luckily, the world is starting to take notice of us, “quiet” types.
Here is a gathering of some of my favorite ideas.

gratifying gifts for introverts
Introvert Tshirt – This is perfect! I need one.
Introvert mugs. For me to drink mulled wine. Or hot chocolate with a little Baileys.
Here is another very cute mug option! (from Etsy)
A journal – Journaling is tough. But I still think it is worth giving it a try. ADHD folks have a better chance of remembering things when we externalize our thoughts a bit.
If you are an introvert, it’s even more important to find a safe space.

This is just necessary for those of us who do not camp. Or hike. Or socialize in such places.
