      And I’m tired of comments like yours that blatantly ignore the sticky and rule 1.

      But here we are.

        I don’t think it’s “party pooping” to comment on a post and my opinion on how it is not an ADHD specific trait and humans as a whole do this.

        Soooo … You can feel however you want to, I have ADHD myself (diagnosed by a doctor) so I’m not totally talking out of my ass. But it doesn’t mean I’m some sort of expert either.

        Given this is a meme community and none of this actually matters, I think we’ll all be ok.

          You should try actually reading the sticky that is attached to that rule instead of just assuming what it is about. Because yeah. Your comment directly is in violation of that which is why your comment was removed.

      I have ADHD and SO doesn’t. We both initiate this “game” and with about equal frequency.

      Sometimes you just don’t word good.

    Ah, but watch out for the surprise single player edition where I get annoyed with my dialogue partner having the audacity trying to guess what I wanted to say.

    And you have a crystal clear mental image of your intent, but there is absolutely no other way to describe but “you know, the thing that does the somewhat tangential word that still isn’t right… the thing!! Y u no understand!?!”

    This happens to me a lot, I didn’t know it was a symptom of adhd.

    I’ve always had this where I “know” what I want to say but the right words aren’t there, or I’ll be thinking multiple words to articulate the thought and mash them together. Is that the same thing?

    I also change topics a lot and then jump back, which my brother hates, but it’s how I naturally follow trains of thought.

    And they don’t get it right but want to move on with the conversation. Now you don’t hear anything they say, just trying to remember the word. You try to force yourself to listen but you can’t stop your brain from going through every word you know.

    Two hours later you yell out “effervescent”. You’re overcome with relief only to realize the other person is one and now you’re in a work meeting.

    Every fucking day multiple words and concepts a day. Sometimes only days later the word comes back and then “fuck that’s what I wanted to say” and keep repeating the word for hours in hopes of not forgetting again.

    My wife wants to play this stupid-ass game all the time, I hate it. It would not be too bad if the gesticulation and words trying to hint at it made sense…but It’s just her waving her arms like she’s having a seizure while mumbling nonsensically, and her getting annoyed at me becauae she doesn’t make any fucking sense.
