Thats what it's like for me and it makes me feel like a terrible human being
We are not terrible human beings. I'm not sure I want to be one of them. I often find justification for writing them all off as terrible human beings, they can't stop lying and manipulating, but then I have some of them in my life that are wonderful, and I can't make that generalization.
There was this interesting research done that show NDs don't change their charitable behavior when observed, while NTs do. Their assumption was that we don't worry about reputation, but I would counter that we are more honest about what we do, while NT's will try to manipulate others to increase their reputation by giving more when they know they are observed.

I sometimes get moments like this... I will have a person tell me something and i can hear them but it doesn't register 
i will ask them to repeat and the same will happen , normally as they are half way through the third attempt it will register in my brain!
I get this constantly if there is music in the background, for the life of me i will hardly ever pick up what someone says, even if they are trying to shout it in my ear, ill just shrug my shoulders now. This used to sometimes get me in trouble as i realise there are only so many times you can ask someone to repeat ( normally 3 times before people get frustrated) so would just smile and nod my head when apparently i shouldn't have done which has got me into numerous not so great situations!
