    As a person with ADHD, who does this frequently, I can attest that it is more of a processing delay coupled with an autonomous communication thread than psychopathy.

    By the time my cortex processed the input, the verbal center already responded thinking there was incomplete input. I figure the problem is mostly due to ADHD.

      Exactly the same for me. That, coupled with the fact that once I start talking, I talk slow and carefully, often pausing to think about what I’m gonna say next, leads to a lot of frustrating conversations. It’s like, if you don’t care enough to hear what I have to say, why did you ask?

        I find I can rarely get a word in on discussions because other people jump in the instant I open my mouth. After a while, I just walk away, and probably they think I am a jerk, ironically.
