In all fairness, there was 12 minutes left in the meeting and Bob has been waiting for the seniority members to shut up for 24 minutes to get a single word in edgewise.

If they had something more important to say they would say it louder

[triflingtoad@sh.itjust.works]

SORRY WHAT? I COULDN'T HEAR YOUR COMMENT.

[surewhynotlem@lemmy.world]

Have you tried Adderall or strattera?

[r0ertel@lemmy.world]

I'm in the same boat, but one day I just stopped talking and started listening, mostly as a social experiment on myself. Now everyone thinks that I'm really smart. It tears me up inside sometimes, but I like the outcome.

The woman in my dept talks over me and the other dude all the time, she's very interrupt-y. She's great though we still love her, funny af and knowledgeable.

The latter kind of person is the one who makes these sorts of memes.

The first option offered should not be lifelong drugs to take.

[krauerking@lemy.lol]

Or normal human thing that happens to be applicable to a large current spreading self diagnosis community.

Don't diagnose others.

[surewhynotlem@lemmy.world]

That's why I waited until four other people replied. Thanks for looking out.

[yggstyle@lemmy.world]

OP isn't wrong: It is an ADHD symptom.

As it happens most ADHD symptoms are normal human things ...just with the logic/priority controller broken. Offering an observation isn't diagnosing - it's providing a conversation point. Maybe bring it down a notch there man.

There are things to get preachy about: this ain't one of em.

[yggstyle@lemmy.world]

Op seems to be on a bit of a crusade - don't let it get to ya. While I'll agree that recommending drugs specifically isn't particularly helpful: I imagine you made the recommendation because you believe that the poster may have ADHD.... which could be a thing they may want to look into. A lot of people go undiagnosed and are positively miserable as a result. It wouldn't hurt to edit your original post with: strikeout and clarify your reasoning. I think your heart was in the right place ️

[yggstyle@lemmy.world]

I'll echo what others are suggesting and say give it a look.

I went undiagnosed for years and really struggled with a number of things. I'd talk over people, interrupt, and finish peoples sentences (to name a few that may resonate with you.) I was consciously aware of what I was doing and frequently battled the urge to do it. I eventually went and got diagnosed ...and holy hell what a difference it made. It was no longer urgent to express an idea before it was lost to the "noise." It wouldn't hurt to speak with a doctor / specialist about it; you have nothing to lose and potentially a lot to gain.

[nigelfrobisher@aussie.zone]

Or tits.

[ryannathans@aussie.zone]

Tits definitely help lmao

[delphia@lemmy.world]

If I get interrupted talking 3 times in a meeting I get up and walk out. This isnt beers with the boys or brunch with the gals, if my opinion cant be respected in full I have work to do.

[lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works]

This. The worst person I've ever worked with happened to be a woman. She was an awful human being.

[lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works]

It's not the crime people claim it to be IF you aren't trying to deliberately down others out.

[hawlsera@lemm.ee]

Sometimes there are benefits to being an androgynous transfemme with an unfortunate case of "Dr. Girlfriend Voice"

[touchegoodsir@lemy.lol]

As a child watching venture bros I never questioned Dr girlfriends voice. Actually watching through as an adult, def made me lulz
