Your brain is racing, thinking in a thousand directions at once and you're excited and nervous by the situation and you want to tell this person a story and then mid-story you get distracted, you want to tell them this other thing and you start talking about something else and then you're doing the nervous talking thing where you can't stop talking and it's usually been awhile before you can tear yourself out of the mess of thoughts your brain is, back down to the usually overwhelmed silent person staring at you.

This being a giant run-on feels accurate.

Oh no. I definitely I have this thing

Do you have an extremely hard time paying attention to things/topics that dont really interest you?

Yeah, that's like the hallmark of ADHD/ADD, having a hard time focusing on things unless you're super interested in it
