In reply to nervous cant hold a proper conversation could add , posted by wayne on June 20, 2000, at 21:05:39
hello Wayne,
I bet lots of people here will be able to help. I wouldn't mind knowing a bit more information. What happens while you are trying to have a conversation with someone that stops you from holding a conversation?
•do you become self-conscious?
•are you thinking about what to say, rather than listening to what the person is saying?
•do you find it hard to concentrate on what they are saying?
•do you think you are trying too hard?In short, why do you believe you are nervous Wayne. And yes, I believe ADD could very well contribute to this.
I have ADD too, and if you don't mind listening to me brag, I'm a pretty good conversationalist. From what I understand about ADD (and I can clearly see this in myself) is that people with ADD have 2 states of concentrating, hyperfocus and no focus. I tend to hyperfocus on people, especially when I am one on one--so this probably helps with my conversational ability. Anyway I'm certain you can be a good conversationalist too.
