Too long; did *NOT* read (TL;DR)

If you can’t get to your main point in the first or second sentence, my severe ADHD brain literally can’t handle it.

Is it just me or are SO MANY PEOPLE unnecessarily long-winded?

Get to the point quickly! Why is this so hard?!

Both can be true: being long winded AND impatient with others, haha

NTs are more driven by optics than NDs, in my experience, so they are more concerned with how they present than the content of the message.

I am with you on that. Sometimes I have to literally bite my tongue so I don't scream "get to the point!" I dont' need the 85 backstories to get to the main point. Just tell me what I need to now and move on. My brain will go on a vacation while someone is talking to me in a second.

So today was my first day on a stimulant (diagnosed as an adult), and everyone says its suppose to feel like *boom* magic, or normal (?) , I guess.

But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.
