Does the need to ever reread something over and over to understand if apply to you??

Actually that happens to me a lot. I'll read something and as soon as I'm done with the sentence I have completely forgotten the contents and the meaning behind it. Or like I can understand the words and even the context but I dont process it or something like they are just words on a page that have no relation to one another... Hard to explain. Also in conversations I have to have ppl either repeat them selves cause I will get hung up on something the said or a gesture they made and wonder at the deeper meaning behind it or what they were thinking instead of what they were saying or get so completely lost in my own thoughts that I miss the rest of the conversation. Even watching movies or listening to songs.

Yea!!! this is exactly what I have trouble with and then people think I'm rude and don't listen ;c

Do you think it's because of Schizo pal???

To be honest until the day I posted my reply I had never been told anything about Schizo being part of my diagnoses. I took that quiz and it was on there and thats what led me to your post ultimately. My T is very reserved about discussing my labels with me because she believes they're often times too broad and possibly restrictive and so I am only sure of a few concrete diagnoses and this one has never came up, as such I have just begun to research it and know very little about it.

I find it extremely interesting and comforting yet a little distressed to know someone else experiences this as well.

I know it can be very frustrating, a neat little trick it to train yourself to hear the tone/melody of what they're saying and when they break for a response you can give any number of patent responses that go along with those social cues. Like if my sister is talking like crazy and upbeat or kinda laughing and I come to myself realizing she was expecting a response I might say something like "oh wow thats crazy" with a little laugh in my voice

or if shes fussing about something and tone suggest she's looking for understanding and reassurance I might say "Right!" with a particular tone to match hers.

I have quite a few more but with my people it's easy, they dont care what I think/feel/or am going through just whether I am listening to their **** or not....

P.S. Training you ear for the tone instead of the words themselves can also be helpful in bringing your thought back around to the conversation.

I am an analyzer bad and if I shift focus to the tone and start to analyze it I remember I'm supposed to be listening to the conversation and attention comes back.

I find this happens to me a lot when I'm reading, I get what I read but I can't really process it in a way that makes sense and I hate it, when I read I have to re-read something a lot and then I will get it >o<;;

Or when I talk to someone I need them to repeat what they say so I can think about it 5 more times and then respond or like later in a conversation when everyone has forgot about that specific part I'd bring it up in some odd way and everyone gets confused... I duno >o<'

This is confusing to explain lol....

This happens to me all the time, I can read it a hundred times but most of the time I never understand what I'm reading, it really bothers me because everyone thinks I'm stupid which is not the case.
