Yeah that happens to me a fair bit.
The other one I found myself in, is that something they say reminds me of A, and I think it would be funny if B, so I jump to conclusion C, and then try to make a joke about D, completely skipping past and not even mentioning everything that transpired in my head that lead to E.
This happens with me and my on-the-autism-spectrum friend who also does it. We somehow managed to have a lot of the same traits while being entirely differently neurodivergent.
Our conversations are very ehm... 'dynamic' as we have to constantly loop back to point B that got lost somewhere in the path to point E and also have you considered point M?
Nobody else can follow the train of thought.
