| I get told by my family members that I am Focusing when im bringing up something I liked or that I watched and repeat myself over and over again on the same thing. Do you guys get similar impressions by others as well? |

sometimes people will comment on how much i concentrate when i get "chaught up"
if i talk about something i find interesting i will immediately change character from quite introverted to quite extroverted.

Sometimes, but it's never true. I don't talk about things I like usually, I don't know how.
I can talk about things that 1) other people are talking about or 2) that I've been talking about with someone else before but when I talk about what I want to talk about, it's usually fairly short.
So, when I do my best to talk without letting the other person have a word in, it's to stop them from talking because I can't answer them if the ask more, I don't understand them or the conversation is too difficult for another reason.
People can't tell and will assume that I must now be doing a monologue and that I accidentally ignore them.
No, it's called "doing it on purpose". When I admit that I don't understand, people just go on and on and on to try to make me understand, then seem to get frustrated with me.

I got called nuts the other day when my teenage son saw what I had done in mine craft.
In the workplace it gets noticed, it is a positive trait. As long as you are focusing on your work of course.

| Other times people will say I am dwelling on something and or going on and on. LOL i get rather confused at times sometimes people tell me I should focus on a subject then I do that, I get told to stop I am focusing too much. The world is such a confusing place. |
