I'm not sure how to pull you back to the topic or something I'm also interested in. What would be the best way to do that so I can enjoy the conversation too?"

That is a good idea. I'm kind of afraid to confront it head on, at the same time. But I might have to, if my friends are important to me. I might also have to talk about how it made me feel: stupid. Which might be uncomfortable for me to open up. But again, I could tell him I'm having trouble with focus. I like how you phrased it, too, about enjoying the conversation.
