    find a neurolospicy friend group. Immediately. Go to where you think you’ll will want to hang out, find a neurolospicy group, and force you way in. best thing I’ve ever done in my life.

    This post was triggering, then made me happy that I don’t have to deal with that bullshit anymore. At least with the people I care about.

      Genuinely doesn’t help. At least IME, and I assume each group is different. It really just depends on the people and how self-absorbed they are. Neurospicy people can be just as rude and self-obsessed as neurotypicals

      However, being on the receiving end of this -a ton- as well as the defeating glory that is starting to say something only to be interrupted and have your conversation partners just entirely stop listening to you, never to resume… being a recipient of that all too often has taught me to always pivot back to or focus on whomever was trying to say something, to let them get their damned thought out, not just trailing it off into the void.

      It should be noted, this trick doesn’t work if the group is all extroverted ADHD-havers.

        Or introverted! My family of ADHDers will not only interrupt over last word, but sometimes two people will complete their full sentences at the same time. We’re all on top of it. No worries if you didn’t finish your thought because we changed topics, just say the sentence when there’s a nice lull 40 minutes later with no introduction at all and we’re all back in. No one ever feels interrupted or has hurt feelings, we just are glad of each other’s company and love to get together. All the husbands are really sensitive about it and take it very personally, but my brother just brought in a long term gf who fits right in! She also interrupts with the most interesting things! We love her!

        My husband hates being interrupted, but if i don’t jump in, he will talk for 15 minutes or longer with no breaks about something whether I’m interested or not. So he rambles and I interrupt and we both think the other has poor awareness. We love long car drives because there’s plenty of time for both
