ADHD and "rage-baiting"

I think a main overt 'symptom' of ADHD not many people talk about is that many people with ADHD tend to enjoy 'tense' conversations, not just by what they say but also in how they say it.

In myself I noticed how often I (accidentally) manage to somewhat 'overwhelm' strangers by my directness and loudness. Whereas with people I know somewhat better I have little restraint to just ventilate any opinion (extreme or not) that pops up in my mind. My gf often told me how I unconsciously seem to play with intonation, word choice and length of phrases (yes :D) just to elicit irritation or even anger.

I know several other people with ADHD and I noticed they all do that too compared to when I listen to non-ADHD folk.
