Not listening at all

One of the main symptoms of ADHD includes not being focused on conversations. For a living untreated creature like me it's an everyday situation. I'm very sure that there are lots of people that thinks I ignore them buecause I hate them or I don't really care at all about their lifes when in realty I got a lot of problems to focus on their words, even when I'm really interested in a subject. 

Getting lost in words is a very problematic subject for ADD patients. The human has an intrisic need for communication that it's on his top during adolecense. Girls between ages from 13 to 25 tend to be very comunicative with persons in it's environment, finding someone that doesn't listens only results into a failed interaction, meaning the'll go to search someone else who really listens. Yes this means I got problems establishing relations with girls overall. 

Listening to someone is one of the bigger signs of respect you could show. Listening means you are trying to understand the other stories, experiences and feelings. Listening shows that you care. That's why when you have problems listening to others your social life gets difficult. For our luck there are so many emphatic people out there that understands the difficult that some persons have to listen, not because they know about ADHD, but because they have patience and a warm way to approach the other weaknesses. This kind of people take the time to met the person inside and not only what they show on the outside, it's a matter of time to them to realize that even when you don't listen, you care the same as well as a  normal individual.

Leaving out the personal relationships, normal interactions suffer a lot when you don't get the message. You might note yourself asking many questions in a day. In the worst case you'll be concerned about your image and just go on without the information your colleague is giving.

There would be other escenarios in which the talker will get frustrated and lecture you or he'll just give up on the message and continue his work. This last case is frustrating. Experience talking, the best advice I could give to you is too tell about your problem to your coworkers, be patient and don't be anxious about the information pieces losed in the communication process, not all the subjects in a conversations are really important. Other tip that could be helpful is to move critical messages through written media like emails or chats. That way you could check at any time if you're missing information.

Recognizing the constant tendency of ADD to affect your everyday listening is a primordial step to start building  a asymptomatic future and therefore declare yourself cured.
