I do this, but it’s a serious condition called delayed hearing, which you can’t read about anywhere, because I made it up.
The actual name is auditory processing disorder, and I do actually have that, as it’s often comorbid with ADHD. But your version is funnier and made me laugh.
I have a hearing defect that affects how I hear speech. It sometimes takes a second or two until the second level support in my brain could parse what was said.
Sometimes you figure out what was said after saying “huh”.
It’s like how I catch all my mistakes only after sending my email.
I push undo timer to the max on every app possible
This is why I always end up re-reading work emails over and over again before sending, and also use the outlook delay-sending to allow for “unsending” lol
It’s like rubber ducking yourself in the span of two seconds.
Huh?
Fuck you I’m buffering.
Actually me. I do this all the time and it drives my friends, family, and girlfriend nuts.
I think my brain processes what is said after it is finished processing what I am currently thinking about and what I am really doing is multitasking in thoughts before rounding my way to the next one.
I feel like people who make sweeping comments about innocuous behaviors to accuse others of psychopathy are psychopaths.
Also, why blur the profile pics but not the account handles?
When the ear-to-brain ping is 900ms
Sometimes it’s because their brain wasn’t set to receiving mode.
If someone says “hey” or my name before starting a sentence, I am paying attention. When they just start talking without doing that, I tend to miss the first part of the sentence.
Then I’m like “huh?”. And sometimes I’m able to guess what they meant. Other times, not so much.
I like the Arabic word “ya” that can functions as an extra attention-grabber when referring to someone
So instead of
NaoPb, can you bring me the screwdriver? you say ya NaoPb, can you bring me the screwdriver?
so the word “ya” prepares your brain to recieve a name of a referrant, and if that name is your name then your brain then pays full athention
Kinda like yo
Or “hey” or “oi” or “INITIATING HUMAN SPEECH PROTOCOL”
Or it’s those of us who have slower auditory processing and we need that brief moment to process the question
Then say “uhhhh” like everyone else!
Processor too slow. Can save 1 default reaction only.
Upgrade to pro and respond ‘uhhh’ in 200ms
yea but during that time you fully believe you didn’t hear the thing being said
I dont think this guy, gal, or nonbinary pal knows what psychopath means
I have ADHD, I huh literally everything if I’m not paying attention to you.
I say it at a way of signaling that next time they should establish a connection before just dumping the body of their message onto the line.
Same. Then I answer before you can repeat.
Psychopath…
People who just ask a question out of the blue without engaging first:
How the fuck do you expect us to react? I gotta load the social processing module first.
I have to load up the listening module first, if you catch me off guard I litterally hear gibberish the first sentence.
Oh that’s just your language processing module.
If it was the listening module you would hear nothing at all or just static
Also something that happens!
Same. I sometimes miss like 10 entire seconds when someone starts talking.
For real, give me the ol’ “Hey, bud?” first and then when it’s clear I’m paying attention, then ask.
Sometimes you gotta play the tape back real quick and re-listen with your echoic memory
I like this. I’ve done that a lot
oes noes! EmperorHenry is a psychopath! RUN EVERYONE! RUN AWAYYYYY
I’m autistic and my mind wanders
Poltergeist, he’s projecting his consciousness too! RUN!!
Actually, I’m telepathic.
Not gonna lie in my case it’s a loading problem cause I hear and my hearing si fine but it comes up jumbled and then after 1 to 3 seconds the brain process what I heard.
I love him but damn that is annoying every episode
Huh?
Sorry, auditory processing disorder
