I got a lot better at phone calls when I worked on trauma therapy. I’ve always had issues asserting myself and phone calls are sort of a form of saying “hey!! Quit what you’re doing and pay attention to me because I have something important!” which isn’t something I was used to doing or asking for nor did I even think anything I did was important
Yes. I’ve seen comically few movies in my life. Super common for me to not quite understand the plot of a movie especially if I don’t get muh subtitles because I get too mentally distracted. With the help of meds, I can actually focus and understand movies as a sequence of events that are related to each other and tell a story lol. Otherwise the details can be lost on me. I prefer to read usually, since it can be done at my own pace and I can go back and reread if I feel I don’t understand something
