Oh gosh, when people try to change topics without a definitive closure to the previous topic it's so frustrating. I'm fine with conversation, but if folks would please just assimilate structure within their minds, prior to speaking, it would be great all around for everyone.

I really get triggered by this, people hate it when I want to "resolve" the last topic before moving forward. Especially in a work setting

I'm not part of this community but as a person that people interrupt all the time, I feel a connection ♥️ Let me at least finish my thought before veering in another direction, please!

Sorry as someone with ADHD and Autism, my need to have all the facts but not being able to wait for people to eventually get there is sometimes near impossible and is a constant internal struggle. This is especially bad/difficult at work.

Can you please explain what you mean by "resolve" a topic?

I'm sorry I just have ADHD. It's better I it takes my medication, though!

As if we don't want to finish topics. There's just too many of them to keep track of!
