Also annoying though are people who think they "get it", stop listening and be interruptive after a few words, and totally miss the crucial part that comes later.

Other neurodivergent people are hard to hang out with, except for sharing our grievances in memes :-)

I find that ND peeps are much easier to get along with.

Yeah i have realized all my friends thru the years are some kinna ND. I didn't plan it that way obviously. We NDs tend to find each other naturally

Just like stand users!

My wife has ADHD as well as myself. How often I'm trying to make a point by starting off on points that lead to that point, and she makes the point for me, conducts a counter argument, and wastes 30 seconds of me back pedaling to say that's not at all what I'm trying to get at.

Yes, this is a serious problem with some people. Far worse than OP's issue.

crucial part that comes later.

Put the crucial parts first, before the fluff.

Sometimes context is important!

Context is important sometimes! (If you want the point first)

That is a beautiful bit of word play there to show a point succinctly. Love it, well done!

The word play, Love that! Succinct point put beautifully. Well done!

If you are going to make a long winded statement, its not crazy to preface it with something.

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

But then they think they heard the only important part already and miss the context which equally matters.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Its not prefacing it with a summary, its letting them know you have a point at the end they should wait for.

I actually prefer the type of conversation that goes back and forth and tangents, but there is a place for more long form cohesive ideas, and you should wait to hear it all before speaking.

There is a whole house of people I know like that. I visited for Labor Day, and people were constantly talking over each other. They wonder why I don't visit too often anymore.
