I remember being so sad as a child that no one would listen to my stories; I was so immensely interested in what I was talking about and to see people just start gazing off really hurt.

Either I do this, or jump straight into the middle of a story with zero context
I like to start in the middle then once started remember there’s important details at the start then add those until the story is jumbled mess no one even myself is interested in.
Start somewhere in the middle and fix the undefined variables later.
I do this. I already started the conversation in my head and then started talking to my wife in mid-mind conversation. She’s always confused.
Me doing some worldbuilding (no it’s not for a game or novel, it just happens)
My wife showed me this, and in the process of explaining it, she did this. It was quite fun, kind of like bingo
Oh God yeah, I’ve done this a lot.With meds and practice I’ve gotten a lot better about being concise, but I’ll still sometimes end up rambling on for a good long time.
…sorry
What Canadians and ADHDers have in common.
I feel the “apologize” at the end so much 😂 but yes that’s mostly how I’ve always been doing it I don’t remember exactly since when but at least since I can remember which is probably since I was 12 or something my memory is really bad (I can’t remember what happened yesterday by now).
I do know that that was pretty much how I formed an argument recently on here as well I think but it was mostly coherent as far as I know I do still always apologize at the end of texts or speech if I know I’ve been talking too long which I do like to do.
What helps is putting in some paragraphs and new lines though in terms of readability which I always try to do when it makes sense but I’m not always sure when to put paragraphs and when to put new lines but still better than to write a single block of 5000 words like an essay. It took me a while to learn that though in school I used to, for the longest time, write single blocks.Anyways at this point in the text I’d usually already have forgotten what I had written at the beginning, I guess that’s maybe the point where I should just stop because nobody’s reading it to this point anyways.
Sorry for the text wall I hope it was at least as readable as possible!
This is me so much. I even have supervisors groaning when someone asks me a question at work because I can’t stop talking for like 30 minutes and I cansee them edging away but I have to finish my current chain of thought or I won’t remember and it’ll bug me all night.
My boss has ADHD and every meeting with him is like this haha. He’s a nice guy though so I don’t mind
And then I found a 20 on the ground.
this one hits close to home
This is exactly why I can never be the DM in a DnD-type game. My players would just slowly drift off before I finished the exposition.
I brain fart mid story and heart goes brrt.
So, how many of you are doing an epilogue, too?
