(fanfic in Harry’s POV)
I’m so slow it’s painful.
When someone say something which is hurtful sometimes I cannot comprehend it. Maybe not sometimes, most times in my past.
When they use a horcrux, it decapacitates me and I go haywire in my mind. I never have a quick response for it because my speech becomes so numb. To my dismay, even now it’s the same when I know how to speak.
It takes me days, months and sometimes years to respond. I always respond directly and I’m absolutely blunt.
Therapy is helping me though, now I sit with my thoughts when I’m uncomfortable and form a response. My intuition is always on point even if my mind doesn’t work. So I sit with it and rationalize, try to comprehend and react.
I guess, I’m much better at articulating when I write than speaking. Because writing speaks to me (pun intended : P).
But yeah, grammar and I, don’t see eye to eye.
