We have all seen those memes about how seeing people Info-dump is the hottest thing ever, but even in normal conversations listening to people talk is chore in of itself. I get bored quickly and look somewhere else or interrupt them with my own thoughts or try to predict what they are going to say.
It feels like i am more interest in myself and what i care about than what the other person has to say,who they are or what they care about.
And yes, i am aware how beyond self-centered that is and i do wish to work on that but i am also wondering if others have similar experience.
Practice makes perfection, two-ways conversations included, I’d say, and it’s something that people with ADHD should still be able to learn to do to my understanding.
And while I recommend trying to teach yourself this skill, if you find it too hard, no shame in looking for help.
And having in mind how the conversation can be beneficial past an immediate interest could help making you stick at it for longer too.
