I have the same problem.  I tend to focus on background noises instead of people's voices and it drives me crazy, too.  I went to the audiologist and they ran some hearing tests and said I was fine (even though everything had to be repeated before I knew what he was saying, which in my opinion is NOT fine).  You're mind probably is constantly on the go, like mine, and you can't decipher you're thoughts from other people's words.  I hate talking on the phone because of it.\n\nI have started learning sign language and most of my friends now are Deaf so I don't worry about it as much (though it still takes a while for things to register).  Of course that is kinda drastic.\n\nTry listening to music and try to pay attention to the lyrics.  Try Broadway music where the songs are conversational.  You can try and train your ear to hear and understand the words.  Or watch Jeapordy or a show like that where you can see and hear the clues and then have to answer and comprehend.

take your time, it'll come naturally.\n\nWhen the time is right, you won't have to ask!

This is a test to see how many people can figure out what I am saying. A lot of people are really hung up on proper spelling. But the human mind can figure it out, as in the example I'm giving you now. \nIt is said that, as long as you have the first and last letter in the proper place that your mind will be able to figure it out.\nWhat do you think??

Might be a tie, but I think I confuse others more--by talking too fast.  I [usually] know what I'm trying to say but am often met with blank looks because my wordsslurredtogether.  ;)

It is very difficult to decipher what you are trying to say.  It would be better if you sat sown and wrote (for yourself) what you are attempting to do.  Once you have this completed, get others to read it to see if they can easily understand it.  Until you do this, it is unlikely that you will make much progress.

No, if anything, when you use those words, your question may be thrown away, anyway!  How fast people answer all depends upon how interested they are in your subject.

Time heals all, eventually.  \nFrom this there is still a lesson to learn.  Remember since actions speak loader than words, only your actions can repair the damage that was done by your accidental words.  Eventually you must face the reality of what was spoken.  Yes, more than likely it will bite your backside.  How you chose to respond now will mold you for the future.  Next time when you talk about someone else, remember to treat them the same way you would like to be treated in the same circumstance.  More than likely you will spend some time repairing this indiscretion, so pay your dues and recall the "golden rule."  Treat others the way you would like to be treated.  Maybe you can escape some of the trouble of this action, but it will come back to haunt you sooner or later.  Actions speak volumes loader than words.  My advice would be to stay calm, confront the problem head on, Apologize/explain yourself,  and then stay to myself quietly, hope for the best.  Good luck!

Maybe she just needs that time to cool down and get her thoughts in order so she can explain to you.  Ask once then wait the 30 minutes until she's ready to talk.  If you keep asking she'll lose her concentration and get frustrated.

that depends I assume there is some delay to correct. We would need to know the challange (dislexia, speech?} or the symptoms if the cause is not yet known

It can but therefore your not letting it for whatever reason...your blocked man...loosen up...just say what you think...just say "hi"...I've seen peeps do that...just think...what would i really want to say here?...then when you hear yourself think: "oh man I can't say that...they'll think I'm an idiot"...recognize that negative thought and disregard it and let the words fly...sometimes you'll get it wrong...sometimes it'll be right...sometimes they'll throw you a violation for asking a valid question...forget them...just paly the game...there's nothing anyone can do to you on this forum for your words...they can't step out of the pc and hit you lol...I just made level 5 an hour ago...I been answering questions for 1 month and one day...if this partier can do it you can too...once you start the keys will start flying...I saved your question coz I capped out of questions on lvl 4...now I can answer until yahoo or time itself comes to an end (which I wouldnt know how to answer if someone asked which will end first)...but regardless...give it your best shot...and the beauty part is even if you give a stoopid answer you still get 2 points :)

they are a bit hit and miss really.but a good one should be able to tell you things, within a few minutes, and without you telling them anything about yourself.Be careful though as in my experience they tend to keep you talking for as long as possible if youre paying per minute!good luck!
