Phrases I’ve Gotten Used To Saying

I’m just throwing out a random list of things I’ve been telling people over the years as I understand more and more that I don’t understand. At some point, I just got too frustrated with being misunderstood and dancing around the subject of trying to read between the lines. Do any of these sound familiar?

  • I didn’t hear you because someone across the room was talking/the air conditioner turned on/someone opened a door/I spaced out for a second/or other kind of audible interruption.
  • Please explain to me as if I’m a child who hasn’t the slightest clue to this concept.
  • How are you feeling?
  • Thank you for listening (to my info dump/overshare).
  • I love you, now I’m going to go eat my lunch by myself.
  • I’m confused.
  • What is (insert pop culture reference here)?
  • Yes, I live under a rock.
  • I don’t know what (word I’ve never used in context before) means.
  • Processing, processing, brain error, thinking thinking, word recall, etc (when I freeze up in the middle of a sentence).
  • I need you to teach me how to do this thing and hold my hand the first time so I know I’m doing it right.
  • Yey, numbers! Numbers are easy, there’s only ten of them.
  • The silence is too loud.
