I noticed that someone on this board recently described themselves as like Commander Data from Star Trek. Very able intellectually but struggles emotionally and socially. It was something like that and I can't remember who wrote it.
But I thought Commander Data was a good metaphor for how I feel and behave- able intellectually but struggles emotionally and socially. Does anyone else feel like that? Data was my favourite character in Star Trek, this must be why!
I liked Data as a character. And I liked the paradoxical nature of him, because on the one hand he supposedly doesn't have emotion, yet he wished to feel emotion, which, could be argued is a sort of emotion in itself.
so he yearned to feel emotion
