I just got tired of it and started replying "Just because you're incapable of doing multiple things at once, doesn't mean I am."

What I do is I tell the person word for word what I heard from them, as verbatim as I can.

I learned that early on as a kid so I’d pretend to pay attention and then teach myself more or less how to do the work. They weren’t good at teaching

Because if I look like I’m paying attention actually all of my attention is going to LOOKING like I’m paying attention and I retain nothing that’s said

I find it hilarious that we're expected to multitasking as adults yet we weren't allowed to do it as kids

Its the same thing with music I promise you i am able to hear better and pay attention better when 100,000 thoughts become 50,000 thoughts because the music cancels out and distract my brain

I would do this, tell them I was paying attention, they’d ask what they just said, I would repeat what they said word for word, and then they’re like “ok but act like you’re paying attention” WHY?! 🤨

I had a teacher try calling me out in math for drawing and she asked what she’d just said and for the answer. Repeated it back to her exactly and answered correctly. She never bothered me after that.

when someone tells me to pay attention i just repeat their last few sentences, word for word, and then they always get mad for some reason.

One of my teachers would often ask me what she just said and I would always repeat her words. She got so annoyed by that 😅

This triggered something deep within me I thought was locked away. The worst part is when they would snap their fingers to “get your attention” but you’ve already been paying attention.
