    I initially thought this was about people being pretentious assholes at parties.

    The comments suggest it is about sensory issues.

    I can relate to both, but I’m surprised on the majority take here.

      “Sensory issues” as in, can’t hear what someone is saying. Why would a pretentious asshole keep asking someone to repeat themselves?

        I was thinking the person talking is pretentious and repeating themselves. So the listener might sarcastically ask to hear about it some more (or throw themselves out of a window.)

      I can’t hear anyone talk in a room with a bunch of people talking. I used to feel bad about this but now I simply don’t care. If I don’t get it the first time I just tell them I’m sorry I can’t process individual speech in a room full of conversation. I’ve wasted enough of my life worrying about it.
