Difficulty in understanding, and remebering

[Jegan]

I am having problems remebering and recovering things that happend in the past ..even things that happend like a week ago. When I have a conversation with some one, its so hard to understand what they are saying i can hear them, but mentally its so hard to understand and keep up with the subject and my mind wonders around. I have to ask them to repeat it twice. And some people think i am stupid and dumb. But i know whats the conversation is about and I tryy my best to input my thoughts.. but at that situation nothing comes to my mind.. its soo hard to think.

Same here...and then after the conversation is over, I think of how I should have responded and what I should have said to make things go more smoothly and to not sound moronic. Its like I cannot focus on interacting/holding a conversation with people because I'm focused on how nervous, awkward, and freaking stressed just being around people makes me.
As far as remembering events and happenings goes, I try to write myself memos on a calendar and even on my phone of what happened that day, who I spoke with, any appointments made-not the whole day just the important stuff- that might help you too.

This happens to me, and being in IT, at work this has gotten me into alot of trouble in the past.

You'd be amazed at how many postit notes i go through in a week.

i know its such big confidence killer when u cant even respond properly even though in ur heart u know wat u have to say.. but when i say it, it doesnt come out as i wanted it to be... not only with strangers its happenining with the people i am close to and those who i interact with on daily basis
