Hi ig
I dunno how to say this at all because I feel like I'm terrible at socially interacting but uh. Basically, is it normal to be too aware for my own age, is being "smarter" something to tressure?
@Kai6679 Hello Kai, and thank you for raising a very interesting question. I'm not sure about awareness in general but we can certainly be too self-aware. I've talked about this elsewhere on this forum, but this can affect us at any age, when we're effectively stuck in our own heads (DMN mode, In neuroscience) when we need to be focused on something outside of that (TPN mode). Is being smarter something to treasure? It can be, if you can deploy that intellect into problem-solving, rather like 'the knife that sharpens itself'. You've said that you feel you're terrible at social interaction - how, for example, could you address this? What practical steps could you take towards developing this as a skill?
