How it feels as an adhd person trying to talk to an adhd person who keeps interrupting with what they THINK is the rest of the sentence, but they keep getting it wrong.
It can become quite a cycle when two people are trying to do the same thing.
Oof. The flip side: I have a friend with adhd and we can basically do full duplex conversation (both talking and receiving at the same time). It’s pretty wild.
It’s great when it lines up! Other times, not so much.
I can have a conversation with my wife, the shell say something relating to a conversation we had 3 weeks ago while half asleep and I can still understand what she’s saying.
Sometimes.
Other times it’s basically like she just randomly says something like “Albuquerque” or “snorkel” if I were to be talking about space, and to her it makes perfect sense. But I’m lost.
I have a friend who does this constantly and it's not as charming as this c is making it out to be. The amount of strain it puts on relationships when you're never able to verbalize a complete thought is immense.
Totally. Also now that I understand I have ADHD and understand how it manifests, I know I am annoying. And I try to avoid this and dozens of other off-putting behaviors.
Maybe that’s why I find interacting with strangers so exhausting lol.
Yeah but while you are trying to fill in the gaps so you can get out of the conversation easier you are literally getting everything wrong and making the conversation take longer and be more confusing than if you had just taken 30 damn seconds to actually listen
That doesn't make it any less debilitating to be on the receiving end of it for someone who also has ADHD. And for those who don't know what's going on, it smacks of extreme arrogance.
that’s fine. but often the start of the idea is just leading the actual point. so if you interior you have not actually heard the point that the other person wants to make. and the conversation has been totally detailed. and it just continues to go on like that.
I took my water bottle to an appointment the other morning; I was there for 15 minutes. I left the water bottle there. I didn’t realize until about 4 hours later.
