I actually love to elaborate so I will:

So, just like every single "adhd thing", it is normal for this to happen *some of the time*. People forget things, people get distracted, people get talked over. The difference is, when you have adhd it happens A LOT. Like a lot a lot.

Because of adhd, it's much easier to 1) get distracted by what someone else is saying and simply never circle back to your idea or 2) have too many things to say- so many that it's frustratingly impossible to ever say them all. It also means that when people interrupt you, you might not even realize it because you're immediately distracted by the fact that something else is going on and lose all your previous trains of thoughts.

Sadly I can't give you an exact estimate of how often it's normal for this to happen because I don't know what it's like to live without adhd. But if anyone else does, I'd love to hear about it /gen

For all my fellow ADHD and soft voice-havers when we get interrupted/can't say anything constantly
