    Counterpoint: Other people waiting for ADHDers to finish rambling bc they got your point like 5 mins ago.

    No hate as I am part of this comm, my SO lovingly brought this up. 😂

    The best part is that some people will try to change what they are going to say to prove you wrong and in doing so will say something stupid. That is the point you tell them they had it right to start with and changing what they were going to say only made them wrong. Their butthurt is a balm for my executive dysfunction.

      Was gonna say this, too. I’ve known some people who assume what I’m saying before I’m done, and then go on to show they didn’t actually listen and didn’t grasp the point at all.

      Don’t guess what people are trying to say. Listen to them. They’re telling you. You don’t have to guess. 😅

        Yesnt. There’s definitely a role for interpretation. But you shouldn’t be interrupting people

    Or guessing it wrong, but now my train of thought is derailed and I forgot where I was going so now nobody gets to know

    More like me wanting to add something but they are taking way too long to make their point and I don’t want my squirrel brain to forget what I wanted to add.

    This happens with my mom (who also has adhd), I’ll understand what she’s saying but then she keeps going and going and I don’t want to interrupt because it’s rude but it drives me a little crazy (I love her dearly)
