Um, there's a mollusk, see...And he walks up to a sea, well he doesn't walk up, he swims up. Well, actually the mollusk isn't moving. He's in one place and then the sea cucumber, well they... I mixed up. There was a mollusk and a sea cucumber. None of them were walking, so forget that I... There was this mollusk and he walks up to a sea cucumber. Normally, they don't talk, sea cucumbers, but in a joke, everyone talks. So the sea mollusk says to the cucumber...

With fronds like these, who needs anemones?

Practice, practice, practice. The best stories have been told 100x and the presenter adjusts each new telling to fit the audience.

I know this and still tell stories like the second pane, haha

Might want to look into getting tested for ADHD if this resonates with you. This is a more accurate representation of how our brains work than the old "squirrel" joke.

I think the best way to tell the story is by starting at the end, briefly, then going back to the beginning, and then periodically returning to the end, maybe giving different characters' perspectives throughout. Just to give it a bit of dynamism, otherwise it's just sort of a linear story.

They are as good at talking as they are poor at listening. :)

Some of them predict what you are going to say and interrupt you as well when you are talking, so they can get back to talking. Lol.

I once asked someone why they do that and she said because its boring to wait for me to finish talking.

I guess their brains are always full of things to say and there is too little time to say it, specially when someone else talks and takes up time..

😂 that‘s me

Wait… You guys make it to the end of the story?

Have I just been diagnosed?

If it's any consolation, most of my favorite facts I've learned about my closest friends have been because they lost the plot while telling a story.

Starts talking

30 minutes later "Ah shit... I forgot where this was going."

I know someone like that, but honestly I always loved it listening to their stories.

I felt the apologize tile in my soul.

This could have been a straight line with the same nodes and edges. Maybe some 90 degree turns to stay in a square image format.

I can tell this is true because even your meme has a lot of reading

ADHD has become the new "I'm so random" for 13 year old girls. Before they realize nobody gives a shit.

With age this improves: I can now come back to were I left the story after I went down on a tangent, even after going down tangents of the tangent.

(Well, usually).

Tamara?

Classic RPG story telling.

It's the Kingdom Hearts series storyboard.

Honestly I feel like half my time in therapy is just talking to her about whatever.

I just want to include all the details so they can experience it like I did!

I spent like 3 hours doing this to explain the Gundam UC timeline to somebody once. Except for the apologizing part. Why would I apologize for that? It was glorious.

I thought this might be a post on !autismmemes@lemmy.zip or !adhdmemes@lemmy.world
