XD rotfl That's actually me and Ash. I'll tell him something, thinking he's listening, he'll make a sound confirming my assumption, and then some time later I'll be arguing with him that I told him and how dare he not listen to me whn I tell him important stuff like that XD
I'm not a saint, it can also happen to me, but it's nothing compared to how many times it's happened with Ash, I mean, how do I make him listen? Impossibru, lol

True, that's absolutely not your fault then XD

Oh, yea, I can see how that may be troublesome x.x

That's helpful
I do understand that socializing with others may be more difficult and tiring. Even I experience that. They probably think you're rude, or maybe they don't notice it at all or they think that perhaps you're just tired or troubled by other things.

Ikr, it's cute

I would feel the same way in such a situation!
I hate this. I love meeting friends I haven't seen in ages. Should they bring new people without even asking/telling, I would be annoyed. I mean - if I haven't seen them for so long I really want to see them and talk to them, hear what news they have. And not trying to get to know new people. Worst case: they have some insider jokes and I am sitting there, waiting for it to be over

I am usually a good listener. I simply forget so much!

But it's hard for me to concentrate on those kind of small talk things like name, occupation, family members, etc.

@jacob: Aww, unannounced new people, its the worst D: and inconsiderate of your friends imho...

@Julez: Same, I can forget things even the same day XD
And names don't even reach my ears if I don't focus x.x; Once I focus, I can remember a whole lot of stuff, but mainly small, probably irrelevant ones xD

Haha, that's how Ash was trying to remember my family members! XD For example: my grandma's brother was "the taxi driver" because the moustache reminded Ash of one. One of granny's sisters was "the bride's mom" (I was trying to teach him who was who on my cousin's wedding, lol). Another cousin of mine is "the flegmatic guy" and his sister is "the curly haired girl", it's always so funny, he still need those explanations sometimes

Oh, yea, it's hard to refrain from telling your inside jokes to others tho... I'm the one who does that, I'll tell the joke, and only remember to explain it if someone says/seems they didn't get it
