I can't interact, not in the way I used to in high school

Sometimes I can't make out what others are saying (we are all speaking American English)
Sometimes they would be wispering to me in class about some stuff and I won't be able to tell what they are saying and I will just either say huh and huh again (and look stupid) or pretend to laugh along or say something else to cover up.
Sometimes I can't follow a person's 'story'. It's as if they are speaking too fast and jumping a lot and I don't follow very well.
I admit I'm never a witty person but in high school I could still come up with some sort of funny retort when people joke with me. Now I can't. Worse, I try so hard that my responses become 'off'. Im so inconfident that I just pretend to laugh.

I'm in an ivyleague college. gpa3.5. Why do I have this problem? It wasn't like this b4 I came to college. Any tips on gaining or getting back my 'intelligence'? I can't communicate with anyone at all. Scared to talk to anyone

It's like I can't 'hear' anymore. I'm just plain stupid? But I score in exams. And I didn't used to be like that a few years back.
Please help. I feel so scared that people wil find out that I actually don't comprehend or that they will think I am stupid and slow when we tlak that I don't dare to hold a real, long conversation with anyone anymore. Even my best friend when we talk on the phone. I don't understand why I don't listen well, why I can't have anything of value and intelligent to say anymore

I can hear but I mean something like I can't process what I hear, I can't make out the words, or sometimes even the meaning

I've had this problem myself, and I have it until this point too sometimes, I just have no idea what people are saying, especially when they are whispering. A lot of this is in your head, I'd reccomend getting into a relationship with someone where you can feel like you don't need to impress them and it will come naturally.

sounds like A.D.D. maybe, and/or you listen to your music way too loud and now your going deaf. Worst case would be that your developing a tumor, its pressing against your brain causing memory & thought processing problems.

Have you had your hearing tested? You are not dumb if you have a 3.5 GPA,so it might be something easy to fix, such as a hearing deficiency. Good luck.
