HI THERE!
Yup, this is the most accurate picture of me.
In academics, it was difficult to register information in the more “traditional” sense. I had to begin slowly and very thoroughly analyze questions and circumstances. “What was it similar too? How was it different? Why was it even brought up? What internal complexes does this person have to even have crafted such a statement?” It would go through filters of rhetoric, idioms, analogies, metaphors and puns. Only later did I see what others struggle with came more naturally to me. Routinely thinking and trying to gain clarity became a lifestyle whether I wanted it or not. It’s a bit quirky, it’s not for everyone, but I found a career where it can flourish.
