I get the sentiment, but I have adhd and even with meds, it is sometimes a struggle to pay attention to someone, and I need something extra to do while holding a conversation at times. I need to have something to do with my hands so it's a quiet phone or some clicking toy or pen, so take your pick.

I've got ADHD as well (mines inattentive)

I find doodling to be a good addition, especially if I'm having lunch with fellow doodlers

Because not only does it keep my hands busy so I stop bouncing my legs but it can also feed into conversations as well (once has lunch with a fellow doodler who we sketched stuff behind each other, it was really fun)
