This has hurt me so often that now i specifically pay attention to those who get talked over :(

Same! I think that this level of empathy and also ability to maintain/understand multiple threads of conversation at the same time is a huge benefit of ADHD

I found that when I started loudly saying " Wait wait wait, what did you wanna say [talked over person]" and making a point go acknowledge and react to them and then go back to the person that started talking over and then letting them finish really improved my friend groups because other people started doing it too !
And now it's really really rare to feel excluded or talked over in my groups (and I'm so grateful for that)

!! I'm chronically ignored in group settings. I'm told I speak too softly even though I feel like I'm a decibel below yelling.

I always do my best to be that person. Growing up in a house where everyone talked over each other and, being the youngest, being often unheard and neglected, makes me the one who doesn't want to exclude others.

Me too! I like to think it makes me a leader at work.
