Why You Feel Like Your ADHD Brain Can't Have a Conversation
It is a deeply frustrating feeling. You want to connect, but your mind suddenly feels like a blank screen. You might feel like you are watching words float away just out of reach. This is not your fault, and it does not mean you are boring.
What is it?
This is often a mix of 'word retrieval failure' and 'social overwhelm.' It happens when your brain's processing speed cannot keep up with the pace of a live chat. Your thoughts are moving, but the bridge to your speech is temporarily closed.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your Prefrontal Cortex manages what we call 'Working Memory.' This is like a mental scratchpad for holding thoughts. In an ADHD brain, dopamine levels are lower, which makes this scratchpad very small. If there is too much noise or emotion, your scratchpad overflows and your brain freezes up.
