If you’ve been told you interrupt, talk over people, or “make things about you”… this video is for you.
Interrupting in conversations can be a challenge for many people with ADHD, but it’s often misunderstood. It’s not about being rude, selfish, or inconsiderate.
In this video, I break down:
-Why interrupting happens with ADHD
-The difference between masking vs. mutual communication
-Practical strategies that actually support your brain
-How to stay present without losing your thoughts
This is not about “fixing” yourself or pretending to be neurotypical. It’s about understanding your brain and building better, more authentic connections.
💬 If you have =experiences or strategies that might help others, please share in the comments, we learn from each other.
