Perception of "internal speed"

Deleted User

I've normally felt "slow" not just mentally but in a broader sense. Here are some examples:

  • Doing less tasks / day than most people
  • Strongly attach to my interests and span for a long hours, 
  • Learn slower than others, sometimes due to obsession at details other times due to my own inability to do it fast,
  • Walk slower, and feel quite inadequate in large cities, or busy streets.

In a way, brightness and loud noises feel a bit like "fast" to me as well, maybe it is somehow connecting noises to large cities and to "fast". I'd say even shyness and anxiety relate to this idea of speed: anxiety is sometimes my resistance to move faster; shyness too.

I wonder how it is for you.

  • I migt not learn fast but I learn thoroughly and don't tend to forget it again.

    I am a fast walker and always have been, probably because my Dad was and I'd be hanging onto his arm flapping into the breeze behind him if I couldn't keep up!

    I might not be the fastest at doing things, but I do them properly, espcially if I don't like the task for some weird reason.

    I get what you mean about bright lights and loud noises, they're all too much for brain, especially now I live in the country and aren't exposed to such things as much as a city dweller.
