I do this, but it’s a serious condition called delayed hearing, which you can’t read about anywhere, because I made it up.
It's actually a common thing with adhd
Of course it fucking is
This mental checklist of things that point to me having adhd is growing uncomfortably large. Is there anything that can point to someone not having adhd?
In my experience my adhd makes normal people things harder, like yes sometimes everyone needs a minute to process information, sometimes everyone forgets why they walked into a room, sometimes you’ll get way too excited on a subject and so on
But you know everyone also pees but when you pee 60 times a day you usually see a doctor
I hate you.
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.
But enough of us have experienced it that it must be a real thing.
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.
I feel like people who make sweeping comments about innocuous behaviors to accuse others of psychopathy are psychopaths.

Psychopaths
Narcissistic, septicemic, malignant, pathological, psychopathic, sociopaths.
Sometimes you figure out what was said after saying "huh".
It's like rubber ducking yourself in the span of two seconds.
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.
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.
For real, give me the ol' "Hey, bud?" first and then when it's clear I'm paying attention, then ask.
When the ear-to-brain ping is 900ms
Or it's those of us who have slower auditory processing and we need that brief moment to process the question
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
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.
So, one way my ADHD manifests is that my brain will just fucking fumble incoming sounds, particularly if I'm not paying attention beforehand. I've been near someone who just turned on the radio to the middle of a song and the music made no sense to me at all, like, it was just really weird noise that sounded like it should make sense but didn't, until it suddenly clicked and the music made sense again. With words, it happens all the time. Someone will just ambush me with words and instead of "hey, can you put the cap on the blender?" It becomes "hey, can you pole a cat fender?" Or sometimes it becomes just "dsfargeg". I know that nobody would say either of those things to me, so I use a dual track strategy of both playing with what I think I heard to try and make it make sense as well as asking the other person to repeat themselves. Sometimes, I work it out before they repeat it, sometimes I don't.
I've never misheard things with ADHD but I do regularly ask people to repeat things and it's not that I haven't heard but it's like my brain hasn't fully processed and understood what I've just heard. So when someone starts saying what they've just said, my brain has finished processing everything.
Exactly. It's like my (sub)concious was already at least three threads removed from reality and I need to bounce back into the real world to process.
100% agree that this is an ADHD thing. Doesn't happen to me as often as it seems to happens to you. But sometimes I'll be actively trying to pay attention to someone talking, and need to have them repeat themselves 3-4 times because the sound isn't becoming words.
I don’t have ADHD but I experience this too. Audio processing disorder.
Sometimes I realise what’s been said after a second or so, other times I can’t figure it out. My go to solution is to just repeat what I’ve heard. It usually gets kind of funny so it takes the annoyance out of it.
I wait when people say this. 100% people just need more time to process
Sometimes you gotta play the tape back real quick and re-listen with your echoic memory
Sorry, auditory processing disorder
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.
huh?
You can't judge me by just one my reply. But you probably would if you see them all.
Fuck you, Shoresy!
Fuck You, Lemmy! Your lives are so sad I get a charity tax break just for hanging out with you!
They're making noise to fill the silence while they process what you said.
I downloaded your speech to the wrong folder...
My ADHD autist girlfriend does this all the time. She just needs a bit of extra time to process. I don't mind it and I usually don't need to repeat what I said. You get used to it.
Sometimes it takes my brain a moment to realize that what you've said to me is actually Words and to assign a Meaning to those words, and that you haven't just done the human equivalent of when the Roomba drives back onto the charger.
