I've described it a...I'm much the same way. I've described it as having a set of gears in your brain. Each one is doing something that can be but is not necessarily interrelated to the gears beside it.<br /><br />http://www.autozine.org/technical_school/gearbox/DSG.jpg<br /><br />Something like that. While one gear is talking to someone another is listening to the conversations around me, and still another is watching everything I'm not directly paying attention to, and another is thinking about work.<br /><br />Inebriation is as well my primary means of shutting most of that down. If I can forget about all the other stuff then I can focus on the situation at hand and no be thinking about it's implications in our next interaction.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186420819616013678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681953263495625320.post-18729370670536474142011-12-13T11:41:58.757-05:002011-12-13T11:41:58.757-05:00I've got pretty extreme hypervigilance issues ...I've got pretty extreme hypervigilance issues as well. It feels like I'm always creating social models, checking against the constant data flow around me, adjusting and trying different options to get the least odious outcome (all predicated on the idea that there's almost never a "good outcome" option). I have a very difficult time staying anywhere near the moment, and can all too easily get caught in metacognitive loops in my head. It's why I drink socially much of the time; alcohol (at less than toxic levels) usually seems to short circuit some of the metacognitive cycles. It doesn't consistently address my core insecurities, but that's what therapy is for, I guess.Adrien Otherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16224168197758898836noreply@blogger.com
