“Don’t say maybe if you want to say no.”— the best advice I’ve ever read. (via suspend)
• *someone says something* “what?” *repeats themselves* “sorry?” *repeats themselves again* “pardon?”
•"hey, y'see the red thing at the top of the shelf, will you get it?“ “Sorry, what?” “On the sh-” “oh yeah sure, I’ll get it.”
•*doesn’t hear teacher because someone’s pen is making a scratchy sound at the back of the room*
•*replays video 10 ten times to figure out what they’re saying*
•teachers asking, “why do you always stop writing in the middle of a sentence, just write down whatever I’m saying,” followed by the response, “I’m just processing it,” rebuked by, “we’ll stop processing it and just write.”
•*gets really focused on staring out the window and goes through four songs without hearing a single on*
someone is whispering to their friends in the library, you don’t even know who this person is but you know their major, what state they grew up in, and their hobbies during high school. you just wanted to find a quiet spot to do your chemistry homework.
wanting to chime in on other people’s conversations all the time, but don’t, because you’re not suppose to be “listening” to them.
being the only person in the house that can hear that awful buzzing sound certain electronics make
hiding in your room because everything is too loud.
motorcycles were invented by satan
being told that you have dog-like hearing by friends and family
being yelled at for “not listening” by friends and family.
God. God. God. God.
This entire post is so fucking relatable it hurts
“You just need to learn to tune it out.”
Forgetting how to think because ambient noise is drowning out your internal monologue.
“No, I don’t need the volume up, I’d just really like to put on subtitles. No, I don’t need to move closer, I just…”
Leaving the room whenever someone starts talking on the phone.
Pausing your video whenever someone starts talking but trying really really hard not to seem passive aggressive about it.
Struggling to explain why this one sound is the most horrible thing in the world while other very similar sounds are fine.
I have no idea if I’m increasingly deaf or if this is getting worse
Okay for the longest time I thought I had hearing loss. Legit kept meaning to get it checked by a doctor (but never got around to it. ADD was strongly involved) . Then I got it checked by one of those random stalls at the state fair and it was GODDAMN FINE and I thought I was going crazy.
Then I found out that ADHD and it’s sub categories have this maaaagical thing that can happen with auditory processing where sometimes you JUST CAN’T DO IT.
Pro tip: watch people’s lips when they speak if you just can’t effing UNDERSTAND what they’re saying. The shapes help you visually interpret the sound.
I knew this was a thing but I thought I was just losing it. What a way to validate my persistent confusion.
I didn’t know this was a thing wow. I feel so much better knowing I’m not the only one like that and it’s part of my adhd. Wow.
