You DO sound a lot like me. That's why I've learned to get their attention first. I had to do that with my middle son when he was small 'cause of his strong ADHD traits. I'd physically but gently restrain him, holding his hands in mine & make sure he kept eye contact with me. Somehow, that was very important. The I'd tell him in uncluttered language & have him repeat the points back to me. I treated him as I needed to be treated.

With people in public, I'll often say something sweet to them (but honest - not flattery. I hate flattery.), such as 'that colour looks so nice on you', etc. It's kind & surprises them so they really do listen to you afterwards.

I wish I knew now on how to deal with others when I was young.
