I’m not sure if this is an ADHD related thing so I want some feedback.
For the longest time whenever I try to communicate an idea, a process, a plan, a piece of information … I’m oftentimes either not taken serious or people misunderstand me.
I know for myself that I sometimes skip steps in my explanation because I feel they’re too obvious to bother explaining. But sometimes it’s ridiculous to the point where I feel like people are out to dismiss me not on the basis of the information I’m providing.
Does this resonate with anyone?
Edit: thanks for all the feedback! This has given me some material to work with.
i feel like i'm manipulating people when i adjust my language like this...which i guess manipulation js all human communication is but still...idk, feels weird
Same, but non-malicious manipulation isn't a negative and most people do that kind of thing subconsciously all the time. Like someone being friendly in the elevator despite having a rough morning because it puts other people at ease.
Apparently we are cursed to overthink these kinds of things.
