Anyone else feel like it takes too long to think?

I always feel like my head is in murky waters. I'll be having a conversation with someone and trying to think about what they say, only to make them impatient because it can frankly take me hours, weeks or years to process my thoughts fully. Especially if I feel stressed, it's like the pathways in my brain become glacial as information takes forever to get where I need it to go. It makes me feel like I need stimulants or something to speed my brain up just so I can function and deal with problems at a reasonable speed. Or maybe it's the opposite problem and there's so much excessive activity happening in my brain, that the things I need it to do have to dodge gunfire to get where they're going.

  • Yes, I know the feeling, I always take a while to think about what someone is saying, even when I am looking at them and there is no distraction, I always feel bad about it, becasue I sometimes need to ask someone to repeat what they said, And sometimes in their tone of voice they repeat what they say but always sounds a little bit agresive and that itself always made me feel bad and sometimes I just feel like not talking at all.
