Same!

### @Meow-Meow  — 2026-02-14T23:01:00.494Z

I say ‘what’, or rather I did, until my nephews dad started telling him off and encouraging him to say pardon. He was only copying me! I felt seen! 🙈

I literally got my hearing tested last year because I was saying “what” and “could you please repeat that?”. I thought I needed hearing aids. The doctor and specialist said I had perfect hearing. I then asked the if my ADHD could be the issue and they said - 100%. It’s a processing issue, not a physiological problem with my hearing. Lucky me! ☺️

### @theadhdmom — 2025-05-07T04:07:37.397Z

YES

### @lilshroomy — 2025-04-09T22:14:17.420Z

no but this is so real tho

### @kiddstarr2.0 — 2024-09-05T02:47:22.014Z

All the time

### @mara.mimimi — 2024-05-05T21:01:43.505Z

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”

### @ultdirk — 2024-02-23T02:45:08.940Z

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

### @monkey girl — 2024-02-12T17:50:11.330Z

Yes always then my brain catches up right after 

### @pastelprincess — 2024-01-09T17:28:36.795Z

Unfortunately 😂 

### @Alexis09 — 2023-12-15T01:32:40.113Z

### @grandearthworm — 2023-12-04T07:48:45.415Z

real omg 😭

### @ashxx — 2023-11-28T16:29:43.886Z

SAME

### @Unknown — 2023-11-22T22:11:27.567Z

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 

### @bubblesbling — 2023-11-21T09:45:59.596Z

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

### @bluedreamdragon — 2023-11-15T08:36:51.515Z

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 

### @meOOow — 2023-11-14T23:07:59.939Z

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 

### @Unknown — 2023-11-14T11:56:35.790Z

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

### @iamgaydhd — 2023-11-14T11:24:46.055Z

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. 

### @fastsloth — 2023-11-13T09:10:20.573Z

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!

### @nix.nax — 2023-11-12T22:42:50.340Z

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

### @pointyhorse — 2023-11-11T17:30:06.984Z

Every single time. Usually “what? Oh”

### @martinipug — 2023-11-11T08:06:31.093Z

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”.

### @queenofskwrls — 2023-11-10T14:30:24.749Z

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.

### @Sam ZT — 2023-11-10T13:09:48.326Z

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

### @myqueen — 2023-11-10T10:18:10.502Z

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

### @cathdhd — 2023-11-10T10:14:44.089Z

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

### @gtit8t — 2023-11-10T02:32:09.965Z

I say huh or what CONSTANTLY! drives my husband nuts

### @sleepysquirrel — 2023-11-08T15:45:14.790Z

Yesssss
