Could it be a masking thing? I am reflexively secretive about the oddest most innocuous things. I think this is an ADHD masking thing, a way of preempting the possibility that something I do will be seen as weird. I’m not aware of experiencing it as embarrasment, but I could imagine it manifesting that way.
I think it’s both an anxiety thing and a privacy thing. I also am afraid of something sounding “weird” or not socially acceptable or for someone to judge me for something. And other things just seem to be personal, like things that I like and enjoy. An example is that any one person won’t feel the same type of deep feelings I do for a song I like, and vice versa that I won’t for theirs.

Why do you think this is an ADHD thing?
