For a long while now, I’ve suspected that my mom sometimes says a random word to me while my back is turned, and when I say “what?” she then says something that makes sense.
Today I am like, 90% sure this happened again. Only this time I could make out the word.
When I said “huh?” she said something completely unrelated to the previous word.
Like, is she fuucking with me? Why would somebody do this?
I get random words that come out of nowhere in my head as part of my symptoms already.
I would consider the possibility you are “hearing things”, as people colloquially say.
I wouldn’t become agitated by thoughts that’s she’s fuc king with you. Just write it off as hearing things and don’t let it come between you and your mom.
I dunno, it’s possible because it does happen often.
This time though, I distinctly heard a word and then when I said “what?” she spoke a full sentence.
My mom also claims she is hard of hearing, and always makes me repeat myself 3 times exactly. She knows it is hard for me to speak sometimes because I have alogia, which makes it take a great effort to talk at times. So then I end up getting frustrated by the end of the 3rd time repeating myself.
well when ive been symptomatic my folks have been strange at times like theyre ■■■■■■■ with me to try and agravate me. like lying. saying something and then saying it was never said.
It sounds like you both keep catching each other off guard. Im sure she loves her little girl and probably has no evil intentions.
Communication Breakdown
I very much hope it’s too odd to be true— for both my and her sake— since I live with her and she is basically the only person I have immediate contact with.
It just feels like I’m being messed with by somebody I am supposed to trust and do rely on for many things.
Maybe your brain is having trouble processing what you’re hearing. I think that can be a problem with ASD. Maybe with SZ too. Idk I misheard people a lot too. I constantly ask people what they said again and again at work.
There’s no way of knowing on our side if she is thinking to herself and letting the odd word slip or symptoms on your part. But the ‘persecutory’ belief that there is ill intent is the bigger problem imo.
Yea I think with me I don’t hear them so my brain tries to fill in the gaps with what it thinks it heard which sometimes doesn’t make sense so I’m always like “what?”
