ADHD: How to Stop Talking So Much and Connect Better
It happens again. You are halfway through a long story and realize nobody else has spoken for ten minutes. You want to stop, but the words just keep coming like a runaway train. This is not a character flaw. It is a common part of the ADHD experience.
What is it?
This is often called pressured speech or conversational impulsivity. Your brain moves faster than your social filters can keep up with. You are not trying to dominate the room. You are just trying to process your thoughts out loud.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The Science Bit involves your Prefrontal Cortex. This part of the brain acts like a brake system for your thoughts. In an ADHD brain, these brakes are often a bit weaker. Your brain also craves dopamine. Sharing an exciting idea gives you a quick hit of that chemical, which makes it hard to stop.
The Action Plan
The One Breath Pause
When someone finishes speaking, take one full breath before you start talking.
The Eye Contact Check
Briefly look at the other person's eyes to see if they look engaged or bored.
The Question Pivot
End your thought by asking the other person a question about their life.
