Unfamiliar text

[haqiqu]

i am having trouble concentrating on very long posts and, like meerie, i just skim the words and dwell on that which resonates. my biggest problem with words, though, is understanding spoken words. sometimes someone will say something that sounds like complete jibberish to me and i have to ask the person to repeat two or three times before my brain will make sense of it. and it's english, not any language foreign to me.

ADHD causes me to skim, and hearing damage makes my brain have issues interpreting certain tones of voices.

well, my body functions at a very low rpm, but my mine does flicker around so i may have a touch of the "fidgets" and i did burst an eardrum when i was a toddler. but still sometimes i hear the first part of someone's expressed thought but partway through it turns to swahili or something. i accused my son of speaking venusian a couple of days ago.
