> So you don't experience any of this? The speed at which my brain works is probably faster than yours. The synapses supposedly fire faster. To me it's kind of a superpower that allows me to do amazing things for people, so I obviously have fun with it. But I have learned how to manage it and maximize the potential.
I think you're right. I've often found that I'm way slower than others when it comes to coming up with answers on the spot (except for mental math, where lack of visualizing seems to be a major advantage for some reason - I think I just don't get confused as easily). I'm really bad at conversation and not witty at all, but I often find that I get to better answers in less than time overall, but my time to first answer is a lot longer.
- jason-phillips 4y agoI believe everyone is a genius at something, to quote Jay-Z. In some ways what I have is a disability. My nervous system can easily get overstimulated with too much information, which precipitates an adrenaline dump that shuts down my body. Speaking in front of crowds, looking at all those faces with all that information bombarding me, will do it. So it definitely has downsides which I know that I have to avoid.
