Anyone else says ‘huh’ or ‘sorry?’ every time someone speaks to you?

no but this is so real tho

All the time

Actually nowadays I just say “I’m sorry I couldn’t listen / wasn’t prepared to listen, can you please repeat it” 😅 Or if I got the context I’ll ask “what’s with topic xy”

I like to think I'm buffering the process and that's why i lag

Yes always then my brain catches up right after

Unfortunately 😂

Hahaha love that! 💯 me😅😅😅🥳🥳

real omg 😭

SAME

Yes this is from a slower processing speed! I have this all the time and by the time I’m done saying what or huh I’ve processed it all already

Yes! Thought I was going deaf for the longest time.

I do this everyday! I hear them just fine but my brain takes a bit to process what they just said. It’s involuntary. I don’t even realize I do it

If someone gives me too many instructions at once I stare at them with a dumb look for a few seconds too long trying to properly process it all. It’s horrible especially at work because I feel like I look dumb when I’m just lagging a little but I can’t tell them that or properly explain myself because that’s too personal for coworkers

I’m also deaf in one ear so this is me even if no one has said anything!

All day everyday, I’m trying to learn to not say sorry rather- could you please clarify what you’re saying I don’t quite understand. Also letting others know that this is something that you’re working on.

Omg same! I said huh? Or what? And before they can repeat themselves I’ll answer or respond to what they originally said 😭 it’s just my brain processes it slow!

The moment I move my lips, my six year old says what?! 😅 I think she expects me to be screaming😂

Every single time. Usually “what? Oh”

Yes! I didn’t realise that’s what that was! I always have to ask people to repeat themselves. So often my husband will say something and I’ll say “what”? and then when he starts repeating himself I’ll actually involuntarily tune him out and process what he originally said and then say “oh no wait, I got it”.

Anyone old enough to remember Max Headroom? My dad used to joke with me that instead of being 20 minutes into the future, my ears worked about 3 seconds into the past. Anyone else with the buffer experience auditory overstimulation regularly? If there’s more than one auditory input, my brain hears everything and processes none of it.

Guys, I really thought I just couldn’t hear but I always passed hearing tests. Why do we do this?

“What” and blinking repeatedly trying to get my brain to buffer

Yes and my husband wait before repeating because he know I understood

I say huh or what CONSTANTLY! drives my husband nuts

Yesssss
