Wow that really hit close to home. ESP the bit about abstractions. And you’re right - I know a lot about things I rightfully should know very little. It’s led to people around me assuming I’m making things up when in reality I’m just connecting seemingly obvious dots.
Have you been able to make this successful for yourself?
- thecupisblue 8y agoI know man, I feel you., I've spent my whole life trying to get down to people's level so they don't think I'm making stuff up. And you know what? It made it worse. It made me feel fake and closed. It led me to failed friendships and broken hearts. Some time ago I just decided fuck it. I'm not gonna do it. And my life has been way better - the more I decided to be "me" and less "me disguised as an average person because I don't wanna scare everyone off and end up alone" the happier I was. And now I'm just like "okay whatever you wanna believe". (Unless it's work related, then I lead them to the conclusion by asking questions that will hopefully "connect their dots")
