    I get ignored as an adult too.

    I’ve just stopped talking when I realize nobody is listening, and it’s really disappointing how little anyone around me even notices the noise stopped.

    At least the people I hang out with nowadays mostly have adhd in varying degrees, so it’s more understandable than when it was my family.

      Yeah, I’ve started noticing that happening to me too… people will just interrupt and the conversation goes on without me, even if I’m still talking. It hurts my feelings and makes me wonder why I bothered sharing in the first place
