    If there are literally any other voices or sounds at or near the same volume that you’re speaking to me, I ain’t gonna be able to focus on you. Especially if what you’re saying is more boring than whatever else is going on.

        My fiance does this when I’m watching TV and used to get a little offended that I would pause the TV. Then I explained to them that I can’t focus when you’re speaking, so I pause the TV to listen to you and give you my attention. I guess he thought I was annoyed he was interrupting when I would pause it, that is not the case at all. What he says is more important than anything on the telly

    I need to see it written down to really comprehend it. If you say numbers to be they are immediately lost.

        My wife and I recently read that people remember things different ways. One of the ways people remember is the emotions around a situation and not so much the words that were said.

        This is me perfectly, I can’t recall what happened but i remember how everyone felt about it.

        So I can’t tell you the words that someone said about going to the airport, but I can tell you they don’t want to go. But just not the words they used.

    The fourth time, I was listening. My auditory processing disorder kicked in and it took a good seven seconds for my brain to comprehend what you just said. So I looked at you and said, “What”, as if I didn’t hear you. But then, about a third of the way through you repeating yourself a fifth time, My brain finally caught up and I understood what you said the fourth time.
