I’m officially ADHD-PI (formerly ADD) and medicated, so I guess I don’t have this particular tendency, but my wife is diagnosed ADHD-C, unmedicated, and also struggles with identifying her emotions in the moment due to an unconventional upbringing. She does this literally any time she’s experiencing a negative emotion (embarrassment, anger, feeling hurt, etc.) and can’t identify it.
We’ve gotten better as a team at dealing with it, but it’s always on me to recognize when it’s happening and initiate the mediation, so it’s really exhausting, sometimes.
I have this weird quirk where I don’t notice my current emotions but because I daydream a lot I realise my current emotions through my attitude/situation in the daydream. This happens when I’m slightly sad/frustrated/angry etc. I can recognise stronger emotions but not always though because sometimes they happen to be too complex for me to understand.
I have medicated adhd pi and I’m better than I used to be, but I don’t think I’ll ever have a boss whom I don’t lie to at least a few times. I think that’s pretty normal, but I don’t want to do it, and it’s mostly to catch up to where I “should” be.

Interesting, my wife also daydreams a lot, I wonder if she would say the same thing. I’ll have to ask.
Please update me on that, I want to know if it’s something more common than I thought.
