#124 ADHD & Justice Sensitivity
Update: 2025-07-28
Description
Have you ever found yourself spiralling over something that felt really unfair—like someone being left out, or that one jerk who skips the merge line in traffic? Maybe you've been told that you "just need to pick your battles."
Friend… that’s not you being dramatic. That’s justice sensitivity - and your ADHD brain plays a big role in it.
In this episode, we’re diving into:
- What justice sensitivity actually is (hint: it’s a measurable psychological trait!)
- Why ADHDers feel unfairness so deeply
- How emotional dysregulation, all-or-nothing thinking & RSD mix into this
- Real-life examples (from traffic to friendship struggles to epic arguments over recycling!)
- How justice sensitivity can be both a superpower AND a vulnerability
Plus I share with you my simple 4-step strategy to work with your justice sensitivity.
Let’s learn how to channel it in a way that protects your energy and helps you stand up for what matters most!
