It seems that for me whenever the meds “kick in” I can’t really mask properly anymore which causes undesired social issues with some friends (especially in an outdoor setting like this meme implies). Wondering how many others experience this, and does anyone know why this happens? I haven’t found any good reading on it and the psychs I mention it to just dismiss it.

    For me it is opposite. I take methylphenidate, and it moves me quite a bit more from introvert towards extrovert. So I can socialize much easier.

      It could be a dosage thing for me, because I sometimes get that introvert -> extrovert effect, but more often than not is makes me somewhat trapped in my head where I can’t really figure out how to talk to people.
