My brain can't divide words properly?
I thought that maybe other people might possibly have this problem, but it didn't seem like it'd be common enough to warrant its own topic. So I'm making a blog post instead.
Let me grab an excerpt from a post I made in this topic just to exemplify what I mean. I realize we write a bit differently than how we speak, but this is the best way I know how to do this.
Excerpt:
Probably Batman. Because Batman doesn't have "super powers." Just gadgets. Which I think gives him some sense of believablity as a super hero. In theory, he sounds like someone who could actually exist. As opposed to heros that can fly, transform into other things, have superhuman strength, etc.
So, I imagine that most people divide word by word. Or alternately, I think they probably divide things in this way:
Probably Batman. Because Batman doesn'thave "superpowers." Just gadgets. Which Ithink gives him some senseof believablity asa superhero. Intheory, he soundslike someonewho could actually exist. Asopposedto heros that canfly, transform into otherthings, have superhumanstrength, etc.
However, when I hear people speak, it comes off more like this to me:
Probably Batman. Because Batmand oes n'thave "superpowers." Just gadgets. WhichI thin kgive shims omes enseof believ ablity asa superhero. Intheory, hesoun dslikes omeone whoc ouldactu ally exist. Asopp osedto heros thatc anfly, transform in tooth erth ings, haves uperhu mans trength, etc.
I don't have any hearing problems but sometimes, I think people think I do because I ask people to repeat themselves so often. It's not that I didn't hear properly. I heard everything they said. It's just that my brain can't piece it together right all the time, especially if someone is mumbling or speaking quickly.
Does anyone else ever have this problem? I tried looking this up, and I can't find anything. Whenever I mention it to someone, they just think it's weird and have never heard of such a thing. Is this something that happens for other people? Is it a disorder? Is there a way to start piecing words together in a proper manner? Probably having more conversations would help, I guess...
