So I think I might have low latent inhibition (in short I have a hard time filtering out incoming stimuli, particularly while under the influence of weed/alcohol) I also have very acute hearing, anyways, more often than not when Im in a group setting with friends or acquaintances it seems to me like some of them try to insult me under their breaths when Im not interacting with them, for example we´ll be chatting for a while and afterwards it´ll split into smaller groups, due to my ability to pick up stuff from other peoples conversations even if Im having another convo with a different person, Ill hear what I think is shittalking about me, its hard to explain since it feels to me almost like a sixth sense since even if there is a lot of people around Ill only pick up on the ones that seem to be shittalking about me, however only a few times Ive heard my name explicitly mentioned yet I just seem to know whos banting, the only thing that seems to give them away is that they usually speak in an almost inaudible voice tone. way too low, yet due to my hearing I always pick up a few of the things they say, and if I look back at them theyre usually looking at me...

My main question is though: do people really like shittalking about their friends/people they just meet just a few feet away from them? I mean I know everyone talks shit about someone else but when I do it is either upfront or to other people, not in such a stupid passive aggressive way, Im 27 years old ffs and most of the people I hang around are usually my age or older.
