The best example of this in me is to just put me in a room where multiple conversations are at a time. I can't filter them out to background noises and only hear the conversation that I'm trying to pay attention to.
On the other hand, I hear everything from all of those conversations, even if I'm participating in one, and it feels like I'm parsing them all simultaneously.
I hyper-thread my brain without question, was having issues doing so accidentally on my evaluation and hurt my memory scores because of it (not that it really mattered), but will hit the point where I'm hyper-threading too much, can't shut it down, and need to get out of stimulation completely or I'll snap - this tends to be me snapping at someone about whatever was the thing that actually pushed me over the edge, and then get out of the room as fast as I can, and to somewhere quieter, where I curl up, wrap up in a blanket to feel protected, and rock until I don't feel like my brain has been overloaded.
