Unless you're blessed with ADHD, in which case you're sometimes processing multiple moments simultaneously!



The things I'd do to stop processing certain stuff. The worst of all is sound tbh. As much as I love music, I think I'd give up hearing for some silence.


Oh man, have you heard of misophonia? I didn’t learn about it until my mid-30s but the knowledge helped me re-frame a lot of previously very puzzling bullshit.


It seems to be hyperacusis as the sounds are mostly environmental. Afaik I know it relates to difficulty modulating stimuli which checks out with my other experiences.
