Our Secret Signal Fixed My ADHD Motor Mouth

Do you tend to dominate conversations? I sympathize. I can talk forever and not realize everyone has tuned out. Thankfully, my wife, who is a people-person, can sense when others wish I’d stop blabbering. She came up with a simple signal that tells me to “Wrap it up and let someone else speak.”

Many ADDers will start talking to friends, family, or strangers at a party and keep talking. And talking. Not listening. Just blathering away, usually about the same topics, and not just any topics, but ones that interest us.

It happens easily, without realizing what you’re doing, but there’s a cost. Dominating conversations gradually demolishes any chance of real communication. It erodes intimacy, family ties, and all your relationships, both personal and professional.

The worst part? At some point, we realize that people have tuned out, they are beyond bored, it’s turning into resentment, and we still keep talking!

I know this because that was me, and I can still do that. Luckily, my wife gives me our secret signal, which tells me to stop talking, start listening and ask questions.
