I have a huge "problem" with selective hearing. It causes issues in school mostly. Someone will say "don't go to the courtyard" and to me I'll hear "go to the courtyard" because I probably want to see what all the hubub is about.
I knew a girl who would get really mad at me because she would talk, and I would understand her point 3 words into what she was saying and then I'd answer her question while she was talking, and she would always complain that I wasn't listening.
But lots of people get mad at me because of my selective hearing, generally hearing only what I want to. Someone tells me to go to the store and buy bleach, I'll hear "go to the store and buy candy".
Does anyone else relate?
