I’m so glad people who know me have started to respond to my “what?” With just nothing.
Because it usually only takes 30 seconds or so to catch my brain up, but if I just wait that 30, I’m being rude..
They could repeat as many times as they want in that span and I won’t get it, and the repetition actually makes it harder to process for me, so them just doing nothing is the perfect ideal. If I repeat my question after letting it process, they know to repeat what they said, but the first one is usually pointless filler to keep from being seen as disengaged, which makes one seem disengaged anyway.
