Does ADHD make people overthink social interactions more?

Yes. ADHD can increase post interaction rumination because of heightened emotional sensitivity and difficulty filtering thoughts. You may replay conversations, analyze tone, or worry about what you said, especially if masking was involved. This is not simply social anxiety. It often reflects a brain that struggles to let go of stimulation once it starts. Emotional content sticks longer, and the mind keeps looping. Learning to externalize reassurance or redirect attention can help interrupt the replay cycle.
