is it just me, or a symptom, I know no one likes repeating themselves but I feel like for me specifically it irks me, like I hate it with a passion. Or like when people are being passive aggressive?

Drives me nucking futs! It makes me very defensive, like they think I'm stupid and didn't get it the first time. And I'm married to a sweetheart who repeats everything because part of his diagnosis (not ADHD) is an obsession to be clearly understood. Just different neurodivergent folks living together. 🙂

See I knew I wasn’t the only one.

Well that sounds challenging but interesting

[Jay_25 in reply to wtfadhd]

Yeah. I notice professional bullshitters commonly repeat themselves to emphasize their point when they had no substance to utilize. The use of superlatives also bothers me. Anytime no one has much of a point they say “all” or “ always” or “every single” then I automatically label them fuckheads not to be trusted. But I guess it is human nature to embellish and exaggerate especially when we want attention or to be heard.

I wish I didn’t have a processing disorder, since I have to ask people to repeat themselves so much my 10 yo raises her voice to me. It’s also had me lose jobs.

Repeating myself used to irk me too, but I have calmed down in my 30s. For me it was not efficient. These days, I pay attention more to feelings than words.

Maybe I have a processing disorder but there’s only so many hours in a day. If I was to focus my energy and attention on all my faults or disorders I wouldn’t have time to utilize my strengths and assets. It’s prob best we all surround ourselves with understanding neurodivergent folks so we don’t have to worry so much about being judged for being so unique
