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
Narcissistic, septicemic, malignant, pathological, psychopathic, sociopaths.
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.
Sometimes you figure out what was said after saying “huh”.
It’s like how I catch all my mistakes only after sending my email.
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?
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.
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
Then say “uhhhh” like everyone else!
yea but during that time you fully believe you didn’t hear the thing being said
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…
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.
Are you guys saying that’s why I have more trouble than my fellows in understanding people despite having perfect hearing?
It’s definitely one possibility. I wouldn’t diagnose yourself based on a social media thread, though.
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.
My ADHD manifests this way as well and I explain it as, “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand English just then.” I only speak one language but it’s true, I couldn’t parse their language.
I also picked up a “quirky” habit where I’ll say the nonsense phrase back at the person, who gets a laugh, then repeats themselves. Since it seems like I’m being cute and quirky instead of having an auditory processing disorder, people don’t get annoyed as often.
I’ll say the nonsense phrase back at the person
I do this too sometimes. My wife in particular hates it.
I think you’re fine because this sounds totally normal to me
Maybe, but it happens a lot less (that is, not at all) when I’m on my medication.
I’ve done this all my life - I don’t have ADHD.
It isn’t necessarily the case that everyone who does this has ADHD, nor that everyone with ADHD has this as a symptom. You could just have an auditory processing thing. For me, I think it’s related to my ADHD because it doesn’t happen when I’m on medication for it.
I dont think this guy, gal, or nonbinary pal knows what psychopath means
I wait when people say this. 100% people just need more time to process

I love him but damn that is annoying every episode
Huh?
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.
They’re making noise to fill the silence while they process what you said.
huh?
You can’t judge me by just one my reply. But you probably would if you see them all.
