    My general guide on this:

    If you didn’t hear me the first time, I assume it’s 100% my fault.

    If you didn’t hear me the second time, I assume it’s 50% my fault.

    If you didn’t hear me the third time or there after, I assume it’s 100% your fault.

        Or you mumble and refuse to work on speaking clearly and blame everyone else for it. But either way they don’t have to be suffering through you anymore so it’s a win win.

        Sometimes I just take half a second longer to process what I heard, which forces me to say “can you repeat that” immediately after they talked, only to them finally have a response. It’s not cause I hate you, it’s cause I’m dumb or some shit that idk why it’s causing it. It was really bad for me in middle school, I used to joke with my friends I’m partially deaf or smth. So like please don’t be an ass, if I did wanna hear you I’d just be like “cool I guess.”
