I have ADHD myself so I can relate, but this is something you can get better at with practice. I sometimes find it tedious to wait on other people when they seem about to say something very obvious (especially in an argument), but cultivating patience ultimately makes for less stress.

I am getting better at it, and I am trying. It's the potential framing of this as a character trait worth scoffing at I wanted to push back against. Even though it is a learned skill for a lot of people in practice, and some are genuinely fighting an uphill battle there.
