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

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 33 points 9 months ago

I keep coming across relatable posts followed by someone saying it's ADHD and it's making me paranoid whether it's just good ol internet spreading fake news or memes or if I actually have ADHD. I don't think I have ADHD but I have to question myself every time this happens.

[-] null@slrpnk.net 35 points 9 months ago

All things that are symptoms of ADHD are also things that everyone experiences sometimes. It's when they become detrimental to daily life that it might be ADHD.

So it's normal that you find them relatable.

[-] meyotch@slrpnk.net 14 points 9 months ago

If it hurts, it’s ADHD. If it’s good for a story, it it isn’t.

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?

I hate you.

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

But enough of us have experienced it that it must be a real thing.

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?

Psychopaths

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

Narcissistic, septicemic, malignant, pathological, psychopathic, sociopaths.

Sometimes you figure out what was said after saying "huh".

[-] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 31 points 9 months ago

It's like how I catch all my mistakes only after sending my email.

Fuck you I'm buffering.

[-] Zorque@kbin.social 61 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] Sabata11792@kbin.social 24 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] BlindFrog@lemmy.world 46 points 9 months ago

When the ear-to-brain ping is 900ms

[-] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 45 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] Toldry@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

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

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 10 points 9 months ago
[-] GoosLife@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

Or "hey" or "oi" or "INITIATING HUMAN SPEECH PROTOCOL"

[-] Phegan@lemmy.world 44 points 9 months ago

Or it's those of us who have slower auditory processing and we need that brief moment to process the question

I dont think this guy, gal, or nonbinary pal knows what psychopath means

[-] skeeter_dave@sh.itjust.works 35 points 9 months ago

I have ADHD, I huh literally everything if I'm not paying attention to you.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 15 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 34 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] VaultBoyNewVegas@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] blargerer@kbin.social 12 points 9 months ago

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

You can't judge me by just one my reply. But you probably would if you see them all.

They're making noise to fill the silence while they process what you said.

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.

I downloaded your speech to the wrong folder...

[-] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 9 months ago

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.
