I take things literally examples

This is kind of hard to explain. I know it's common for autistics to take things literally. When I first hear the words, or read the phrase, my brain interprets it literally. And then there's a pause, and then I figure out what the context is. Context could be the speaker, the medium, the previous conversation, where I am physically at, lots of things. I have noticed when I'm not paying attention and I'm answering automatically, I will answer literally. And then I'm embarrassed lol. Does anyone want to share any examples of this happening to you?
