Is it normal that it takes me a couple seconds to reply?

When someone asks me a question like "Whose car is parked at your neighbor's I thought he didn't drive"? It takes me a like 3 or 4 seconds to answer. Anyone else take long to answer questions you really weren't ready for? Am I just overanalyzing myself or is something wrong?

    Me all over. I often need to be asked things twice before I answer. Very vague.

    Yeah, for simple stuff like, "Do you want a bag?" (When you buy stuff), I actually think about it for maybe between 1-3 seconds before I answer. Just to see if I actually want a bag.

    Well i dont know if its normal but i do it too. It has made most social interactions excruciating due to the plethora of "are you retarded?" looks. However i just roll with that shit.

    I always say there's a difference between being dumb and being slow. It just takes my brain slightly longer to process information.

  • Maybe you are just very slow. Try taking a power nap.

    Thanks for that suggestion but no, I'm not mildly retarded.

    It's different for everyone but I think this is normal to some. I don't do that personally but some people take some time to think before they answer and there's nothing wrong with that.

    Im about the same. Life isnt like the movie, man. Not every conversation is read off a script.
