    i think so yeah. like my brain cares more about making me aware of all the meaningless noise in the room than figuring out what someone is saying -.- there are definitely people i have a harder time understanding. there have been times someone has repeated something to me like 10 times and its just like… you need to use different words i have no fucking idea what youre trying to say to me lol.

      I have a problem like this with accents. When I went to highschool it took me a long time to finally understand a guy whose parents are vietnamese. It was definitely 100% grammatically correct with more or less local accent, but the distinction took me embarrassingly too long to learn gradually.
