The dissonance between "I know what you are talking about before you've finished" and "i can barely focus on what you are talking about" is astonishing. I absolutely feel you.

It's pretty validating to hear this. My partner, I love him to death, but oh my God when he tries to predict what I'm going to say and cuts me off to do so, it feels so rude. It's like why should I bother speaking if you already have decided what I'm going to say? And it's so often inaccurate. I know it's part of the ADHD processing so I try to dismiss it, I know he doesn't mean to cut me off, but WOW is it trying.

The first thing I taught my girlfriend was to listen instead of complete my sentences. At the time she was trying to make a living as a coach and failing at it to no surprise.

This is something I've very consciously tried to be correct my behavior on. It's unfortunately and surprisingly hard to just shut up and let someone finish, but I've gotten a lot better at it. Now I find myself nodding and physically moving, ready to jump in the moment I can. I work with one guy who is the worst at this. You can be in the middle of a sentence telling a story, and he'll hijack it and pivot. He then will ramp up his volume as he talks to control the convo. It's annoying, but I can empathize with him to an extent, and I don't think he knows he's doing it. It's a tough line to walk sometimes.

Lol, same. And yet will rail on about people (especially me) making assumptions.

I do this to my bf too. I don’t mean to. He does exactly what you do and also says I’m not right and I need to let him finish. I then try to patiently wait for him to start over and get the whole thing, only to find out it was exactly what I thought he was saying to begin with. lol I know it’s frustrating to talk to me. I’ve been told it all my life. I try hard not to do it, it happens involuntarily most of the time.
