I’m not diagnosed with anything but I do this all the time. I get so scared that I’m being attention seeking ☹️

That's why I always comment on theirs, share mine, then re-comment on theirs. Just jumping into the story about yourself pisses me off so I try not to do it that way to others.

This but I feel like we gotta learn to acknowledge the other person and what they said first, bc just going into your own story/related tangent seems dismissive of what the other person said

usually the misunderstanding is when you don't respond to their story first, before jumping into your own. it's like you're ignoring them.

if you don't want someone talking about their own stuff, just politely say that! I've had friends say hey I just kinda wanted to vent, and that's completely okay! just be polite about it

But as someone with ADHD and having friends with ADHD, it can also be invalidating when you just want someone to listen to you. Just have to know when it’s appropriate ☺️

maybe unpopular but I like it when someone responds to my struggle with something they went through that's similar. it makes me feel less alone. as long as they acknowledge my story too it's fine
