Struggling to Keep Up with Conversations

Do you ever get so wrapped up with trying to "keep up" with a conversation that you end up asking the other person to repeat themselves more than once about minor details? I feel like it always makes me seem like I'm not paying attention, but the issue is the delay of what is said being understood and "unwrapped" quick enough to formulate a cognizant response or simply understanding what the other person is saying. it's so annoying

I definitely have, honestly I’m always so scared to keep asking them to repeat themselves that I became a master at replying to things in a way that seems like I understood what they said when I actually didn’t. It sucks because one of my friends feels like people don’t ever listen to them and I feel like I just make it worse even if I do my best to make sure I catch everything,
