    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.

      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.

        Indeed. Not to sound too flippant about it, try having that person be your spouse.

        The amount of hand-holding I do daily to get complete thoughts out some days…

      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.
