I keep hearing that this is frowned upon, but I cannot help it. After I share, I circle back and explain how and why I connected the two stories to try to recenter the other person. Is this annoying? How do you want ND people to respond in that case?

    Thanks for that, I think asking what their needs are is probably a good segue. I don’t think anyone has ever said that I’m being self centered directly, but I have lost friendships and people refused to tell me what I did wrong soooo who knows what people really feel. Just sucks too, to have to be the person to ask what the other needs when that’s not afforded to youdoggirl-cry such is the life of an AuDHDer tho

      Happened to me too, it’s actually so upsetting :c Like I’m sure if we talked we could figure it out, but they already gave up on me without even trying and that hurts
