because yall showed interest...

why i think chu2 is pretty adhd coded/why i hc her as having adhd: a thread by someone with adhd

alternative title: im not projecting guys i swear
when it comes to adhd headcanons i do see a lot of people (especially those w/o adhd) hcing characters like hagumi with adhd, which is fine! i also hc hagumi as adhd because i feel like she shows quite a few traits
but adhd is not just hyperactivity, especially in afab people
lets get into a cheeky something called RSD; rejection sensitive dysphoria is a common thing that u often get in the sick adhd deluxe bundle and is again, slightly more common in afab people with adhd. rsd makes handling any form of rejection really difficult
common signs of rsd are:
-being easy to embarrass
-emotional outbursts
-setting standards for urself that are stupidly high
-low self esteem/inferiority complexes
-withdrawing from people
-feeling like a failure if u dont live up to other's expectations
are we connecting dots yet
rsd hit me hard when i was 13-14, and i feel like little baby kaia could relate to a lot of the emotional stuff chu2 goes through
chu2 feels like roselia "rejected" her and she takes that incredibly personally, and then the same with popipa and later her own band members leading-
to her being "overly emotional" and having outbursts towards those she feels like are "betraying" her
slightly.. depressing parts aside! here are some other adhd traits i feel like apply to chu2 plus some of my own hcs bc im allowed to project sometimes. as a treat.
-her sleep schedule looks shit bc she seems to focus on finishing music-related projects to the point of skipping sleep
-lack of an impulse control; impulse control isnt just "wow i just did something so random and quirky!", and chuchu shows lack of impulse control through-
being seemingly a little verbally impulsive (she'll talk over/interrupt others sometimes) and making impulsive decisions such as suddenly declaring rokka as their guitarist or jumping to the conclusion that roselia + popipa are enemies and thus she'll crush them
-she's hyperreactive (seemingly exaggerated emotional responses)
-music + ras as a project seems to be a hyperfixation

i might add 2 this later but i dont know why i added "by an adhd person" at the beginning because this is so messy it's pretty obvious
feel free 2 add 2 this
