Saying "someone is just born with it" is called a fixed mindset approach[1]. It sets you up for failure. I used to be hideous with talking to people, but I worked at it and, most importantly, _believed that I could improve_. 1:

I like this. Thinking out loud... Maybe this could be reduced to something like "desire for novelty". But then I think that's too broad. For example, wanting the latest iPhone is a type of "desire for novelty". W

Sure you can learn all of this stuff on Wikipedia, but the difference here is that the author has turned it into a narrative, given it character, and a stylish presentation. Like many people today, I have an attention problem. But my eyes

Based on the wear on my spacebar, it looks like I only use my left thumb to hit space and now that I'm typing this I can clearly see that this is the case . Dear Apple, please reduce the size of the spacebar.

I'm in a gated community at the moment. Safety is not a concern whatsoever. Even in the city center, it's pretty quiet here. It's pretty dangerous in Mexico City or some places in the North. The danger is pretty localized, so
