People with ADHD often struggle with delayed gratification. This can affect emotional regulation in situations where patience is required. For instance, a person with ADHD might feel frustration or irritability when they have to wait for something, whether it’s waiting for a goal to be achieved or waiting for a conversation to unfold. This can lead to impulsive actions or emotional outbursts.
Frustration Tolerance: Low frustration tolerance is common in ADHD. This means that individuals may become upset more easily when things don’t go as planned or when they feel they have to wait for something they want.
