As someone who doesn’t have conversations regularly, how is this different from when people “normally” have conversations? or is this suggesting person A is saying one thing and when person B chimes in, they immediately pivot to some other topic and this flow continues without actually finishing one conversation?
I think what’s actually happening is that people sometimes are extremely critical of social situations, often thinking there is one right response and many wrong ones. They feel like they fail conversations and other people think the same thing, even when they usually dont.
Socializing isn’t a right and wrong thing, there’s many choices and flavors. I think people with ADHD just need to relax their expectations of what socializing is when it goes well.
