Disappointment with group conversation




	Disappointment with group conversation Every time I'm out at some social event, I always get angry when I'm talking to one person and then more people show up and change the conversation and eventually ruin it. I'm curious if any of your experience this? I can't tell if it's from ADHD or just being an introvert. People usually tell me that I bring up deep/philosophical subjects, or have thorough conversations about subjects. I feel like at a party, or group gathering, everyone wants to have meaningless shallow conversations and I find it frustrating. This is what happens to me: I'll be having a conversation with someone and then one or more additional people will chime in and slowly, gradually, i get left behind in the conversation and the other two people are chattering away. I can't help but wonder what I'm doing wrong or where the problem lies. Do i just lose interest in the topic? do i just get overwhelmed by the additional people? do i just get distracted (ADHD at its finest)? but yeah, you are not alone. I am so grateful for this forum, and reading posts from people I can identify with. I feel the same way as many of you about small talk. I simply don't seem to be able to do it very well, and end up getting bored and distracted. And some of you seem to be inclined to get into deep, meaningful conversation. Me too, but I find most regular people don't respond much. My life has always been a quest for meaning, but I've learned over the years that it seems to be an ADD trait, and just write my deep thoughts in my journal.

We've only been friends for about 2 years and just in the past year really got to know each other. Well, earlier this week, he basically came out and told me that he doesn't want to listen to other people's problems. How selfish is that? So, i won't be talking to him anymore. I don't need people in my life who don't care about my problems. Friendship is give and take. At least I've seen his true colors. And I wondered why my daughter had struggles making friends here. I really think that lots of people are very rude and inconsiderate. I think people who are polite and respectful are pretty rare. I think I truly feel like we aren't doing anything wrong. I think they are just selfish and don't really care about others. This ends up causing me to feel like there is no point in going out and I end up just staying home. Right now is a perfect example, as I am home on a Saturday night when there is a UFC fight tonight that I could go out to watch with friends.	Enter Your Email below to claim your Free Book
