Also quite often when someone says something I think that I didn't hear them so I say 'what' but straight after I've said what I remember what they said, but it's too late anyway because they start repeating themselves. It's like my brain has delayed processing.
Me too. It's like I hear people but my brain takes a moment to process what they've said. I'm always asking people to repeat themselves. Once I was talking to a girl and she had to repeat herself a couple times. She started shouting at me like I was deaf. This really pissed me off - what, like it's my fault I don't understand?
When someone asks me a question and I don't understand it the first time, I'm usually too embarrassed to ask to have it repeated. I'll try to guess my way out of the question by responding with "yeah" or "mmm-hmm". Then I'll get weird looks because it wasn't a yes/no question. This never works.
