Annoying to deal with kids who insist "I know what you were going to say" one minute and "You didn't tell me that!" the next. Infuriating to deal with adults who double down with therapy language.

ADHD is having difficulty focusing.

Isn't it more having difficulty focusing for extended periods?

I'd say the phenomenon is more hyperfocusing long enough to figure out the point, and then getting frustrated as the speaker takes a long time to illustrate that point.

According to OP, they can't even make it to the end of a sentence. shrug

I definitely get feeling annoyed when someone rambles. And I get tuning out when a work presentation or a school lecture drags on. And I get feeling frustrated when a conversation or discussion is sidelined by minutiae.

But the "Um, aktuly, I don't need to listen to this because I already know the answer" shit is extremely toxic behavior that inevitably sets people up to fail. If you've ever had to deal with student drivers before, it's the way someone responds moments before they bend a fender.

Getting Overwhelmed is entirely different from Knowing The Answer In Advance.

I think you're conflating a separate issue with the phenomenon OP depicted in the meme.

You assumed wrong ... again.

The only thing you are doing is proving their point.

You understand less from the sentence being said than you think. You only assume you were correct because you also listened with half an ear to their explanation.

Not really very accurate, but go off.
