Trouble telling anecdotes
So I don't know if I'd categorize this as a problem or simply another one of the many ways ADHD affects my life, but the truth is I struggle so much being straightforward in an anecdote.
It's super hard to just tell what happened straight up, because my brain latches onto any additional information that can add to the humor of the initial anecdote. So if I have to talk about something that happened at a friend's house I need to: introduce the friend, introduce their personality, say why I was at their house, how I got to their house, what their house was like, ad infinitum, and of course those things have very little to do with the anecdote that I'm actually trying to tell.
I'm not super broke up about this because I do feel like my friends accommodate me by letting me go on and on and cutting me off when they have something to say, and when they do that I take as the "shut up for a minute" signal. The nice thing is that after that they let me go on with my anecdote which is always the most important thing ever (hyperbole).
The bad thing is sometimes I have to talk about something super serious or important for the other person to know, such as life events, and I can't help taking at least 30 minutes to get to the point. And obviously time blindness plays there too, because I always underestimate how long I'm going to talk before I get to the point.
I think it's mostly fine because I think I'm funny enough to make it work most days, but when I'm not feeling the humor it's just super annoying.
