I know I do this but it’s so hard not to. I (don’t, according to the psych) have ADHD, or am very close to it. I am so painfully aware of how annoying I am, and yet it seems impossible to not be annoying. I always ask people to literally tell me to shut up when I’m too much.
I’m 38 and finally came to the conclusion that myself, my older brother, and my mom all have ADHD (they have the hyperactive form mixed with inattention, but I’m just inattentive), I’m the only one treating mine though.
Both my mom and my brother will randomly butt into conversations or end it mid conversation. I’ll be talking to my dad about something and my mom will need one of us and just butt in without waiting for one of us to stop talking. My brother will just straight up change the topic mid conversation by saying “not to cut you off, but…” or if he wants to go smoke a cigarette he can’t really wait and will just be like “hold on…” and just leave mid conversation.
He has a 4 year old daughter and she definitely has it as well, the kid has the attention span of a goldfish. She’s also an only child so attention needs to be on her 24/7, she literally will just talk to her herself talk. She’ll be like “Daddy!.. Daddy!..DADDY!..” and finally he’ll acknowledge her and She’ll just be like “Umm…ummm…uhh…” and then say nothing 🤣
“Have you tried…”
“Tried what?”
“…letting people finish a thought without butting in?”
