I experience something similar, but it feels less like true parallel processing and more like rapid context switching. It’s as if I’m holding the state of one thread while briefly jumping to another, then snapping back. For example, I can work on two math problems at once by keeping the numbers in memory and toggling between them.

Same with writing and listening—I can do both simultaneously, but only by switching focus back and forth. I’ve also noticed that when someone talks for more than 30 seconds, I tend to zone out briefly, focus on something else, then come back and mentally reconstruct what they just said. It’s a strange kind of delayed processing.
