It's the second one, definitely the second one. I do it to though, so don't feel bad. We just have to try to catch ourselves when we do it, and apologies and let them finish.

Surprise! My mom does this too, and the frustrating part is that she's wrong about the second half of my sentence a LOT of the time. It ends up being rude and makes the conversation even longer because I have to waste additional time going, "No, I was going to say..." instead of simply finishing the sentence and continuing on.

So congratulations. You're playing yourself. (I also have ADHD.)

So you have ADHD, but when you start a sentence you already know how it's going to end? How do you do that?

[-] itsnicodegallo@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

Honestly, there are times after my meds wear off that I have literally forgotten what I was going to say halfway through the sentence. Lol

Same, if I'm really tired, sometimes my thought will trail off, and I'm like, what was I about to say?

Personally I do it by my brain always being like thirty seconds in front of my mouth. Sometimes I wish I could open my mouth and just yell in white noise that somehow conveys the totality of what I'm thinking.
