        Hey, the thoughts always return when it is pointless, you know, anywhere from an hour to days/weeks later when the other person has totally forgotten the convo

    It’s either staying silent because you’re anxious and don’t want to be rude by interrupting people. So you’re just bored listening to a non stimulating conversation.

    Or, the conversation is something you like a lot and you keep interrupting people and bothering them so the conversation ends.

    The rare third option is you sync with another neuro atypical person and bounce back and forth with each other while everyone else stands their silent unable to follow a conversation that seems to make no sense. But makes perfect sense to you both.

    How many milliseconds pause should I wait before I start speaking? Or does it depend on culture/other factors?

      If you don’t speak it was 300 ms less than you thought. Someone else said something and started a different topic.

      If you do speak it was 300 ms more than you thought. You interrupted them and you’re an asshole.

    Hubby is ADHD and I am not. And it’s usually me trying to speak when he is silent but “still talking”.

    How did we get this backwards? Lol
