How do i stop myself from talking so much????

All my friends are constantly making me feel bad for how much i talk. I try so hard to shut up and sit still and listen but i just get so excited about stuff and want to contribute and sometimes I interrupt because im so worried that I’ll forget what i was going to say. Its ruined friendships and makes people annoyed with me and I dont know how to communicate that I have a really hard time controlling it.

I feel you! It drives my husband crazy and I’ll often be apologising to the Mum’s at school for doing it… I also have to try to stop answering questions FOR my 5yro if people are talking to HIM. 🤦🏻‍♀️💞

Eh you'll find people who aren't going to care. The people that matter won't be bothered because they'll want to learn what makes you, you and educate themselves on ADHD.

I always get slagged for this. I had vocal chord issues and everyone mocks me then for talking to much- any wonder you lose your voice etc. I also interrupt. It’s not your fault it’s how your brain works. It’s great to try and hold back sometimes but equally you have to be you too. I would gain acceptance that you’re a talker and an adhder and that makes you you- you will occasionally burst or talk or get excited about things, but you are still you and real good friends who come to know about ADHD will love you for who you are
