MH chats pure se. She's is the epitome of tiktok educated. ADHD ≠ empath.
MH isn't an empath, IMO. She's an entitled, manipulative piece of se. No actual empath would be saying that they can stay friends with the toxic ex of their partner who was abusive towards them provided the toxic ex doesn't mention their name.

People with ADHD may have challenges with empathy, but some may also exhibit heightened empathy:
Empathy deficits
Some studies have shown that people with ADHD may have reduced empathy, and may have difficulty recognizing emotions in others. This may be due to impulsive responses, which are linked to dysfunctions in the brain networks that process empathy.
Heightened empathy
However, some people with ADHD may be more aware of others' emotions in social situations. This may be due to hyperfocus, which can make people with ADHD more attuned to subtle cues and expressions. Sensory sensitivities may also amplify emotional responses to environmental stimuli.
Empathy as a coping mechanism
Some people with ADHD may use empathy to manage their own emotions and navigate social relationships. By connecting with others emotionally, they may seek validation and support.
Genetic links
Some research suggests a possible genetic link between lower levels of empathy and ADHD.
Medication
Some research suggests that new medications may boost empathy in people with ADHD.
To improve empathy, people with ADHD can:
- Focus on letting others talk through their feelings
- Ask questions to understand others better
- Avoid telling others what to do
- Avoid using others' experiences to talk about your own
- Take moments to focus on the present
- Work on managing ADHD with a treatment plan
- Attend therapy to process emotions
