I hijack posts...

...because I talk too much. I'm sorry, all the people I do this to. If it helps, it makes me feel bad. No one has ever said anything, but I think I make some people frustrated.

Please don't be upset.

You're fine, as long as you stick somewhat to the topic. Or maybe you see something that strikes you about a poster. Some members don't mind, others do. You'll know who minds (he/she's the one that doesn't answer your question).

I've been known to do what you do.

As long as you don't insult anybody, you're fine, I believe.

Thank you for your words. I'm pretty sure I mostly stay on topic, although in real life that's completely different.

So far, no one has said anything, but I'm always scared some people will be upset and/or feel like they don't matter. I guess this happens more with neurotypical people (being yelled at for that and such) but you never know. I guess I should expect people to be more blunt here if they have an issue, right?

Don't worry about it. I tend to do the same - somebody mentions a tangent and I'm away! There are usually enough other members posting to pull the thread back on course... usually.

If you've ever heard the stereotype about people with ADHD talking about something serious and all of the the sudden getting distracted by a shiny ball of foil, I feel like that. LOL

I guess since a few people besides myself seem to do this, I kind of "blend in" with the normal functioning of certain posts. I feel less paranoid now. Thanks.
