Me when I'm in a modesty noisy environment like a pub.
Group wants to go outside to smoke? I join them. Never smoked in my life.
I and a few people in the replies can definitely relate to this.
Love to have buffer memory in my brain
When they ask you something and you dont understand so you say "what" and answer the question halfway through their repetition
Is this what i have when i constantly have to ask people about what they just said but after i say "what" immediately, i somehow understand what they said without them repeating it?
Or, and I am now speaking exclusively to my partner, maybe just say "hey" first to get my attention and let me finish whatever random thought was in my head, rather than demanding that I switch gears mentally IMMEDIATELY
vocal patterns
Yo! This 100% sometimes i cant even hear them, like my brain didnt even hear voice
Sorry for the pun but this is the first time I'm hearing about this.
That sounds like a real struggle, damn. Sorry you're dealing with that.
That said, I discovered recently that mobile phone quality (assuming decent signal) is better than what we were getting over copper wire POTS, so there's that, for whatever it's worth.
I am currently in donair/garly town. My maritime accent only occurs when I'm off the East coast, then it's there in fuckin' spades bahd
Fack, just havin a couple drinks, Fer October she's pretty fuckin' decent out. Gotta still put on some LJs cause the wind'll getcha
I dont think I have an auditory processing disorder I think I'm just fucking dumb
Mood, but then my "oh damn guess something's up" moment was when I discovered how much more enjoyable TV and movies got with closed captions, since I was actually able to catch everything being said and other subtle sound effects
Under communism we'd get google-glass-esqe assistive devices that auto generated closed captions for people in real-time :angery:
Really excited to try following a conversation while five speech bubbles are populating my vision in a crowded room.
I was just thinking about how i really have to be actively ready to hear people, but it’s exhausting and i shut that off frequently. Luckily i dont interact with a lot of people for work very much.
hate that I can go "oh, a frog(roughly 5 inches long) jumped into the pool of water(stagnant) that's 15 feet ahead of us in the reeds" with my eyes covered at night, but cannot tell what my friend saying "hello green tea, what's up?" is saying 2 feet in front of me.
The pain of getting flustered and saying yes so they stop talking and then they ask you a follow-up question.
Them: Getting uncomfortable as I stare intensly at their face two seconds longer than necessary after answering their question...
Me: Staring intently at their face for two seconds longer than necessary hoping I've given a reasonably expected answer to their question...
Remember the old sales/negotiation tactic: whoever talks first loses.
