Sometimes, when someone is talking to me, I actually can’t hear or understand them. So I just nod along. I smile or laugh when they smile or laugh. This has backfired numerous times in my life. This is actually why I’m a socially awkward penguin who lives on the internet.

I can’t communicate the way i want to with most people unless if it is in written form. I can hear just fine except that in crowds with many noises flying around I have trouble singling the conversation out sometimes… so I just nod.

The people I know the best I just tell them “WHAT?” or “speak UP”or something but it generally doesn’t go further than “could you repeat that?” once to strangers or not so close buddies then out comes nod-mode. followed by awkward-mode which is always followed by walking naway-mode
