need anyone attempting to have a verbal conversation with me to go ahead and brace themselves for a full five minute wait after their opener for me to figure out Anything to say in response <3
#N posts stuff#i can string along some uh-huhs and affable laughs to fill the space while people talk at me#but it’s never until i’m fully extricated from the convo and completely somewhere else#that im able to come up with actual Things to say that would allow the convo to last longer. oops#on a marginally related conversational note i’m considering trying to be more up front about asking questions when i’m confused#coworker was helping me with something but hadn’t looked up from her computer to see that it was Me until a handful of moments in#but when she looked up and recognized me she said ‘sorry’ and i didn’t get why but i didn’t ask#but then after i was like ‘well i could have just asked; even if she’d just said it on autopilot she probably wouldn’t have minded’ so#idk something to consider. i’ve gotten better at admitting to being confused bc work is a crossroads of ‘i Need to understand’ and like#‘i’m not getting paid enough to try overly hard to figure it out on my own so’ but Conversationally it’s harder. even if it’s obvious anyway#funny enough i was thinking about cadeuceus lol i was like ‘he’d probably ask and fans probably thought it was a sweet character trait’
