Hehe, onomonapetia... in a word: yes.

Two or more steps ahead, that's how it feels. Sucking in information like a vacuum. It's all I can do not to bug out my eyes and very intensely say, "Next! Next! Next!" (While inside screaming, "I'm not a flippin' moron, you know!!!
SPEED IT UP!!!" So.... yeah, also carrying on internal conversations in all the spare space of The Waiting for their next point.) It used to drive me positively off my gourd back in school when a point of information was covered more than once. They saw it as a teaching method. I saw it as an annoyance. A lot of times in talking with people, I'll say something like, "yup"... "yup, and?" and they'll get this look like, "but... how? I've barely begun..." Wrong. They're either over-explaining (like pointing to something and then, say, reading it aloud! Good grief! I can read and I'll be done with the paragraph before you've said the first sentence, so please stop!!!), or re-telling something they've already told me, even if it wasn't today. GOT IT!!! MOVE ON! Doesn't do much for my social life, go figure.

Lol.
Process too fast. Never stop thinking. Overthink everything. Yup.
Ok, now that I've over-explained myself....
In fairness, sometimes I'm in a state where everything is soooo slow that it's hard enough to stay in the reality plane. Then I just don't
care what they're talking about and they can take as long as they like!
